It was a “rubber” bullet, but still.
Hollywood needs to pump out more REAL cop shows, where they show how cowardly, fat and racists cops are.
But when Hollywood did, nobody wanted to actually talk about Rampart.
I don’t know, it seemed like at least one person wanted to talk about Rampart (exclusively).
Haha holy shit rampart. What a dumpster fire of an ama.
For those that are curious Web search
Rampart Woody Harrelson ama
The purpose of Hollywood is entertainment and helping out manufacture consent (not necessarily in that order), not raising awareness on subjects were people’s increased awareness would threaten the power of the elites, so when it comes to the minions of the elites it’s pretty much all either “Heroes of Justice” (with a side of “anything is acceptable in the pursuit of Justice” or, at most, “Most are Good Guys but there’s a few bad apples”.
The only things that can get made here anymore are commercials and corporate slop. Need funding for film and TV so some real shit gets made not just the usual garbage
AND THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEEEEEEEEEE AND THE HOOOOOOOOOOME OF THEEEEEEEE BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEE…
Remember that part of your anthem America?
TBF you do have to be pretty fucking brave to live there.
Or white
That person was white.
Fact, and the privilege to even consider let alone walk to a like of cops in full anti-riot gear should be saying something.
I think being a woman lessens the privilege a bit.
The land of the fee and the home of the slave
These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.
In 1992, LA had riots sparked by police brutality. Since then, the LAPD has striven to uphold the utmost standards in police work . . . lol, no, they made sure ACAB applies double to them.
Bastard should be fired

Jailed
There must be real consequences. We need leadership that actually has the balls to deal with this sort of trash.
/and no, I’m not holding my breath or expecting anything to actually happen
Deed we do. Next election cycle will tell the tail
He’ll probably get a promotion
Firing is a promotion sorta
others already said this but it’s so crazy that they’re called rubber bullets when they are like 40mm artillery rounds
I think I’ve seen this before, years ago. But it’s also possible this happens regularly in US.
This does happen regularly in the US.
“rubber” bullets are supposed to be bounced off the ground to dissipate their energy before they impact someone
There are so many different kinds of “less-lethal” kinetics and most modern ones aren’t bounced off the ground.
That is for 37mm foam that splits on the ground to spread at the crowd, they are primarily using 40mm foam rounds with a metal core, if you bounce it off the ground it can rotate and impact with the hard plastic backing, which is likely how the UK journalist who required calf surgery was injured. It’s specifically recommended not to bounce them but to aim near the naval, arms or legs.
Rubber bullets are sold under the legal pretext that they’re acceptable to use in this fashion, while the manufacturer and the police department and probably every lawyer and judge in the country knows they’re just going to shoot at people.
I better hear something from every other police force in the country if they don’t want this as proof ACAB.
Person who took this video is an actual hero. I don’t want to imagine what could have happened to that woman without them.
Also: don’t make the mistake of looking at the replies to this on Twitter. I forgot just how bad it was, but nearly every top reply is by verified accounts trying to justify this somehow. It’s actually insane to me the complete lack of empathy these people show - past party lines and political differences, isn’t this obviously a bad thing that shouldn’t have happened?
Also, I was thinking. These are the incidents that we are getting to see. How many will occur when someone’s not rolling the whole time.
That’s what I wanted to leave here as well.
The coloured girl immediately overcome her fear, crossed the street very aware of her surroundings and defended that shot girl.
She observed the situation, decided to put herself into danger to assist this foreigner. Such a strong and lovely human beeing 💪.
I leave her my deepest respect. Whish I could give her a huge hug as a thanks.
It’s a Nazi bar. Don’t expect reasonable posts from Nazi’s. There is no cross party lines with them.
I abandoned Twitter for Mastodon a few months after Musk bought Twitter. I figured I’d keep the account around to DM people who there, just in case my need to do so arose. Then I kinda forgot about it. Cut to a few months ago I sent a message to someone on a different service. I knew they were doing a project, but I politely asked them “hey, do you have the interest and time to do xyz?”
They said “I’m sorry, I’d normally love to, I’m just really busy right now and don’t have the time; you probably know I’m doing ABC myself.” And that was legit. But they added “Also, you should know I generally don’t work with people who have Twitter accounts anyway, for future reference.”
Initially I was “But wait, I don’t USE it…” But I took a few minutes to think about it. I mean, he wasn’t wrong. I DID have an account at the Nazi bar… And I don’t use it. It just lends my name to the service for no benefit to me. And that’s why I decided to download my data and delete my account. Sometimes calling people out (in a helpful way,) can be a positive.
And that, dear reader, not necessarily the person I’m replying to but you reading this, is now me reminding you that you can delete your Twitter account and stop supporting the Nazi bar.
What was going on in the background during the last 10 seconds of the video? You hear a bang, then someone repeating “Watch your legs officers!”.
Watch you legs means the horse police is going to run over people
Used to be only black people being treated like this. Now we have equality!
This is why the maga crowd is against dei
Pigs.
As cop doing these things , how do you sleep at night ? When do you quit ?
Pigs love rolling in shit. Responding to protest is a blank check to do whatever violence you want while being paid massive amounts of overtime.
All of the cops I’ve known personally are from very similar backgrounds, basically straight edged nerds with paladin brain. People who weren’t necessarily bullied, but just perceived themselves as a tormented outsider. They want action, they want violence, and they think they are completely righteous in whatever they do because the badge makes them good guys.
Every cop is a looser wannabe Rambo, but was too chicken shit or lazy to actually join the military.
According to them, very well. Dave Grossman traveled around doing police training for years and this was part of his training
That man is also personally a shite guy. Heavily abusive to his kid.
These people are not working for justice, they criminals
No. When they do it, it’s legal.
