The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
People killed by the german police in 2024 (record year): 22 People killed by the police in the united states in 2022: 1176 Well i guess we only have 1/4 of the population so 50 times the number of deaths is normal is to be expected.
roughly 13 times the german record if you adjust for population. still fucked.
Based on my American public school education, math checks out!
I think Trump dreams of a civil war. That will be the perfect excuse to hurry the slow dictatorship takeover.
That is slowly happening anyway, while people are still having wet dreams of democracy.
I think Trump dreams of a civil war
then let’s have one. let’s make it go sideways for him. we can’t back down from aggression. that’s living in fear. i want to see this end in a way that sends a dire warning for all future fascists, sociopaths, and idiots.
Somebody should mirror that video somewhere that isn’t a nazi platform.
Wider video here. Genuinely not sure what the fuck he was thinking.
Thx for better video. Just in case this goes on catbox too:
Thinking? He’s a cop. He probably thought she wasn’t “in her place”, or was “disrespecting his authority”. Or he’s a psychopath…
I mean he clearly sees her all the way through the video. There’s no shouting or warning, or any sign he’s about to do that.
It’s like he’s got a quota of people to shoot. “Ooh, it’s 4pm, time to take somebody’s legs out with a baton round!”
I’m not sure if I would call it a “non-nazi platform”, but here’s Youtube
Saw that happen in live stream. These fascists don’t give a fuck. Got to wear giant lettered press sign here for real for your own protection
Got to wear giant lettered press sign
The big broadcast grade microphone and camera with the station logo should be more than plenty.
The cop knew and either didn’t care or targeted her BECAUSE she was press.
I know but forgive me for trying to encourage ppl protecting yourself as much as possible.
Nazi apologist.
LOL I’m fucking protesting!!!
just trying to say ppl need to be smart.
FUCK YOU
this is absurd. Seriously deranged
And I’m deranged. This is exactly how fascists work, get called out, gets overly defensive, and then threaten violence. Thank you for showing your real colors, truly a Nazi apologist psycho.
calm down both of you, there’s a real enemy to fight
My dude he threatened violence for being called out, bro is out here pretending and defending the police that shot the reporter, because he is a Nazi apologist.
He’s talking about other reporters can you even read
Fuck 12
Even if the shot were accidental -> still not acceptable.
There’s zip about this in the Australian TV news this morning. One of their own and they still don’t have the balls.
Sure, that’s why the goddamn prime minister is now weighing in. Because it’s so hidden.
I’m a Canadian and I seem to be more furious about this than many Australians.
Channel 9 reported it as her being “caught in the crossfire”, as if she got hit in a gun battle between protesters and cops or something
Especially since you can see the cop in question pointing his weapon directly at her and her news crew.
Generally, that’s the direction guns fire ;)
The part I find damning is that if you watch more of the video, that cop was absolutely watching her for a long time, and knew FOR SURE she was there and was press.
Besides just being a psycho pig or something similarly fucked up, the only reason I think that he could have done that is there was a car turning onto the road where she was and he wanted her to gtfo of the road. But even then, that’s fucked up.
Mainstream media is complicit with Trump’s fascism. Which is to be expected with capitalists.

The fuck is boring about someone being shot?
Shooting (and killing) journalists is an everyday occurence in Israel.
I have to admit, I didn’t understand the boring part of the community (or sub back on reddit for that matter) name until reading this comment.

Not my face, the other brown people’s face!
This will not be covered by the MSM.
Imagine if a cop was rubber bulleted tho. It would be even more endless copaganda…
What dat fascist culture do.
This will not be covered by the MSM.
Coverage seems pretty okay so far

Yeah, not even the captured media is going to sit on one of their own being shot.
But my arguments sound so good when I get to make things up…
A good time to remind everybody that while rubber bullets are considered “non-lethal,” they can kill.
Back in 2004 a college student in Boston died from a bullet that missed its intended target, hit the ground and ricocheted into her eye.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Victoria_Snelgrove
So, while the shot certainly wasn’t warranted, IMO its worse because of what could have happened because this officer was taking a shot for fun.
Almost all " non-lethal" munitions are really “less lethal” and capable of killing someone if they get hit in the wrong area. They also easily maim. I saw a pellet from what are called “donkey balls” which are essentially clay-more mines filled with little rubber pellets bounce off a wall fast enough to go through someone’s cheek and exit out the other side of his mouth. TLDR You can really fuck someone up with that stuff. Cops think they are like nerf toys.
Those are the things the Jackass guys got shot with in the first movie. The company called it a “Stingmore” mine.
Way too many people are comfortable with utilizing anything referred to as a “mine” against unarmed civilians.
Even if less-lethal ammunition were risk free, that should still be a crime. Even in the ideal risk-free case, how is this any different from assault, if the cop came up behind a reporter swinging his baton. There was clearly no justifiable reason, it was clearly assault for fun or intimidation, and any reasonable person would know that.
It is a crime. Cops are effectively above the law.
There are some laws that even cops can’t ignore, such as the law of gravity when a brick is in the air.
I’d say Newton’s 1st is more applicable here
That and the fact it’s directly attacking your civil rights to free speech and an unprovoked attack. So it’s definitely unconstitutional.
There’s a distance at which they stop being “less-lethal”. At 10 meters/30 feet they’re considered extremely dangerous. The “effective range” at which they’re generally considered less likely to penetrate is 20 to 30 meters (65 to 100 feet).
Lenses make estimating distance tricky, but based on the lines in the road, I don’t think she’s 20 meters away from that cop.
These journalists need body armor and helmets if they’re going to be that close to American Police. Back in 2011 an Iraq War vet named Scott Olsen was head shot at a distance of a few feet fracturing his skull and when some protestors tried to rescue him they flashbanged the rescue effort. It’s extremely unsafe to be that close to these guys.
“non-lethal” Oh, boy! What an infuriating misnomer that is.
This is also a good time to remember nothing here in this context is “non-lethal”. All of these things (sand bags, tear gas, tasers, pepper spray, mace, rubber bullets, batons, shields, tactical holds, etc.) are accurately called “less lethal” because all of them can and will kill under certain circumstances, even when used by trained officers with good intentions. (I know. How often does that happen, right?) It doesn’t take much to cross that line between “not intending murder” and “actual fucking murder”, often something as simple as a common medical condition or simply falling while moving over hard ground like curbs and sidewalks. If a reporter is using the term “non-lethal” in the context of police brutality, that’s a pretty good sign that you are being lied to.
That police officer is POS and knew exactly where he was aiming.
That police officer is POS
they all are
ACAB, notice how none of the officers next to this asshat did anything. They’re all bastards.
PIGS.
And a British one, too.

Okay but also, fuck LBC, they’re a rightwing (and Zionist) mouthpiece
Oh so it’s ok to selectively shoot journalists if you don’t agree with their ideology? I bet the other cop didn’t agree with that journalist’s. Case closed, following your logic.
They’re two separate statements. I acknowledge that it’s beyond shitty for cops to be shooting anyone (especially journalists).
But also the news outlet in question is known to have shitty politics and therefore while this specific article is more or less accurate (and backed up by other sources) , they are far from a reliable source.
I don’t think that’s what they meant. Ok -> acknowledgement that it’s shit that the journalist also got shot.
Sadden how much obrian dropped talking about it once they canned sangrita
are they? all i know about LBC is what I’ve seen of James O’Brien and he seemed to be none of that. is he like a token liberal/socdem or something?
It’s a bit of a mix, generally considered centre right.
Your link also includes the full video of the Australian getting shot too. You should point that out as I’m sure others would like to see it.
When they shoot us we need to shoot back
Reported for inciting violence
go fuck yourself
Go back to fucking reddit and eat boot leather
self defense isn’t violence mate
Comments like this are the whole reason I’m here. Got banned from Reddit for talking self-defense against armed people trying to rip your family apart.
I’d like to think realistic discussion is safer here.
that’s definitionally not inciting
What does boot taste like?
I thought self-defence was legal in the US
No, only if you’re white.
No, only if you are white, rich, and politically powerful.
Not against the powerful.
Wow, what a little bitch…
found the pig
People on the side of the cops will learn soon they are on the wrong side of polite society, and the wrong side of history.
Historically hasn’t mattered.
Are you saying it doesn’t matter if the majority of people are against a fascist regime? In many countries that probably would be true, but the US is massive and spread out with millions of guns and many state agencies that might not be as sympathetic to these sorts of crackdowns or would oppose a militant escalation against protests. It’s not just the right who have guns also, nearly all political tendencies recognize the need to be armed. An anti-government insurgency would look much different here than what we’ve seen in the past.
It hasnt mattered yet. I still see people serving cops. Hell, i saw a wal mart wiyh special cop only parking last year.
Yeah creating delusions is way better than taking responsibility for your role in society.
It certainly feels nicer. I think that’s how this works.
