The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
Not my face, the other brown people’s face!
Surely that guy will now be fired and charged with assault? This was completely unwarranted.
Best I can do is 3 day suspension with pay, and it’ll be cleared from his record next year.
If I recall correctly, the officer broke article 19 of the UDHR. I have a sneaking suspicion that that officer isn’t getting any reprecussions for their actions.
Much more likely he’ll get paid leave to deal with the “trauma” of the negative attention he’ll get.
Did you see the new studies? It turns out lead solves trauma in cases like these
SOAD’s “Deer Dance” plays in my head a little too often these days.
My favorite thing about SOAD is they opposed police brutality AND Tankies.
How the fuck are you in SOAD and playing songs AGAINST the Bush Administration directly and playing a whole tour of protest shows, and all in supporting Occupy Wall Street and then you are like “well the Fascist has some excellent points and the trains run on time” (just for clarification, “the trains ran on time” was a Italian fascist propaganda talking point after the end of WWII, and it was never true, not literally and not figurative, the Italian fascists let trains run quite late compared to other governments, and them failing at getting even the military in order was a thing they were famous for. Fascist governments are often total cluster fucks of infighting and failure that can only be relied upon to start wars, kill people, and make the rich MUCH richer while everyone else is just trying to survive, and the absolute lie that the boarder was somehow in crisis under Biden is absurd, and is sold without any counter argument all over major news of any level, no Biden wasn’t letting rapists target white women on the boarder, he kept all of Trumps Immigration system in place, abuse and all.)
anyway. I can hate the drummer. I can like Motley Crue and hate the lead singer AND drummer! this isn’t a problem. the creative forces in the band would never fall for this bullshit.
The band still stands for those things. The drummer is just an asshole. The lyrical meaning of their songs hasn’t changed.
When they shoot us we need to shoot back
Reported for inciting violence
Wow, what a little bitch…
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.
Go back to fucking reddit and eat boot leather
What does boot taste like?

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
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.
Police departments in the US train with the IDF and then bring their tactics back to the US
Which is one of the main reasons I pointed to when people would shout me down for sounding the alarm about the Palestinian Genocide “because it was an irrelevant to US politics”. The Palestinian Genocide is just a preview of our future, the signs are clear as day, our police trained HEAVILY with the IDF which is not really a functional military more like a police state apparatus.
The IDF has no idea how to do an armored maneuver against a near-peer enemy that also has armor, AA and artillery, it only knows how to enclose people in literal and surveillance prisons and push “soldiers” to acclimate to killing innocent civilians.
Not a war, a GENOCIDE.
And the training hours for cops there is shockingly short compared to other counties

Somebody should mirror that video somewhere that isn’t a nazi platform.
I’m not sure if I would call it a “non-nazi platform”, but here’s Youtube
It’s fine, I’m sure the “Justice” Department will make this right.
no valid video. Do I have something configured wrong?
Didn’t work for me either. Another commenter’s mirror worked for me, but if that doesn’t work either here’s a YouTube one.
Shitty piggy.
2nd time Trump’s bullshit lead to an Australian reporter getting assaulted on air.
While I detest violence in all forms, and respect peaceful protest and the power of the ballot box; it seems like the current administration is doing everything it can to disenfranchise the voters of this country, and preemptively using violence against peaceful protesters. I hope things don’t tip too far, because while Americans don’t riot like the French at the drop of a hat, there is an enormous amount of anger simmering among the working class people in this country, and I’d hate to see that erupt. If it does come to a head it will make the Paris riots like a sunny day on Lake Geneva.
A large part of that working class is fully captive to the corporate media narratives, and voted for Trump last November. They support this.
They less support this, than the lies they were fed. His disapproval polling is clear on that
And yet, zero self-awareness to try to connect the actions to the outcome. If those same lies were fed to them in the exact same way, they will continue to do the same stupid thing.
If they’re too busy worrying about where the next meal is coming from, can you blame them? I mean you can but surely that removes some of the blame
It does not. They are poor as shit because of who they vote for. Full stop.
and mostly targeting blue counties too.
i hate how vague the term violence is, as it can mean so much as to make it useless.
protesting is a form of violence, it is meant to hurt the status quo. if the protests blocks a road or impedes trade and therefore there’s some economical violence in there too.
but there’s also violence in an unfair system that creates those protests. people are protesting ICE kidnapping and disappearing people with support of the state. that is a much worse violence than that being used in the protest.
and the “violent” police response, was violent, because he literally shot a reporter.
because the term is so vague, anti violence as a moral stance is meaningless.
Americans are packing more heat than the French. We won’t ever organize to shut down the country, but there will be more executions and attempted murders like the United Health CEO.
As people fall into despair most will rot away silently, but a minority will decide to take somebody with them.
How about we organize instead? Make it a goal to go to the protest this weekend, meet one person whose sign you like, get their contact details and agree to meet up at the next protest. It’s that easy to get the ball rolling.
Protest would be more effective to effect change, and I will be doing my part in my city.
america may have tons of guns, but when what’s probably the majority of them are owned by people who seemingly approve of what’s happening, will there ever be the necessary large scale resistance?
I mean guns guns guns people talk about but IEDs won Iraq and can be made IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS
Yes, if Americans rise up, I think it’ll look a lot more like The Troubles than the first American Civil War. For one, because there aren’t clear, geographical divisions this time, and indeed, I would guess that guerilla tactics are going to be more effective than guns against a military with overwhelming conventional warfare capabilities.
Absolutely. The US military was tiny at the outbreak of the civil war, and a whole lot of the veterans of the Mexican American war were fighting for the South.
If violence escalates, and I think it might, it will look much more like the troubles than the American Civil war.
For what I and probably you want to happen? Almost certainly not.
For something to happen? I figure yes. I will be doing what I can to shape the future with peaceful protest.
Have they identified the cop that commited this assault?
Of course not. They’re above the law.
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.
Mainstream media is complicit with Trump’s fascism. Which is to be expected with capitalists.
And a British one, too.

Okay but also, fuck LBC, they’re a rightwing (and Zionist) mouthpiece
Sadden how much obrian dropped talking about it once they canned sangrita
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.
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?
