It was a “rubber” bullet, but still.
These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.
Bastard should be fired
at
He’ll probably get a promotion
Firing is a promotion sorta
That is fucking nuts. If you have 50 police officers you do not need to shoot a woman who is VERY clearly not a fucking threat. Holy shit they treated her like she was carrying
They kept shooting at her even when she was limping away crying and someone trying to help her. So being a threat I think was the least of their concerns. Seems more like they were enjoying target practice.
reminder that “non lethal weapons” are actually just “less lethal weapons”. rubber bullets, tear gas and tasers absolutely can and have killed people.
I was wondering, if someone shot rubber bullets at a cop, would they be charged with attempted murder or assault?
In America, you can be charged with murder if the piggly wiggly arresting you works too hard and has a heart attack.
So shooting anything at a cop is most likely summary execution at the scene.
You don’t even have to shoot anything. You don’t even have to be holding something capable of shooting something. The cop just has to say that from their perspective it kind of looked like you might have been holding something that could have been capable of shooting something and they’d likely be able to justify murdering you.
If anyone ever doubts this, go watch some police body worn camera videos. They routinely shoot people for things like this and get away with it. Then on videos where someone ambushes the police, the right wing lunatics watching will always say “See? This is why they are so jumpy!” as if it’s totally justified.
“The land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy.”
Manufacturers of “less lethal” rubber rounds do not consider them safe at that range. They’re considered very dangerous with a high risk of death within about 10 meters.
That’s a seriously injured, unarmed, citizen and not only do they not lift a finger to help they seem to fire at the woman trying to help her.
You’re also supposed to bounce them off the ground. Never a direct hit.
Hollywood needs to pump out more REAL cop shows, where they show how cowardly, fat and racists cops are.
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?
Well, she might have been an undercover reporter, what choice did they have?
Obviously Hamas
I think it’s because downtown LA had a curfew. But that’s kinda bullshit because where else would this person go if she came home after working a night shift? Sleeping outside would also break curfew
She was a local resident trying to get to her home
Yeah that’s what I’m saying. These fucking pigs that don’t even deserve to be on the same level of pigs
Real pigs are capable of empathy, unlike these fascist bastards
Stories like this are why despise Biden and Obama so much. Both enthusiastically armed the police while pretending to support change and helped give them this sense of invincibility, and both had the power to make real change in policing but cared more about being reelected than doing the right thing.

It’s about Florida
Pigs.
others already said this but it’s so crazy that they’re called rubber bullets when they are like 40mm artillery rounds
I used to live right by the un and my block was always closed 2ce a year. Security wouldn’t let me in to get home and I had to call the doorman to come and vouch for me. No one shot me but they were dicks.
Wouldn’t be a shame if those Nazis got shot in the face with a hot turd.
Hit em with the Glock Dookie
With a lead core like those rubber"bullets"
Those hot turds of yours… What’s their diameter?
…in Millimeters?
