LAPD DELIBERATELY shoots an Aussie Reporter with a rubber bullet

No, I don’t support illegal deportations. But executing valid warrants and arresting people suspected of being in the country illegally while executing those warrants is not illegal. This likely wouldn’t be happening at all if Democrats didn’t support non-cooperation with federal law enforcement authorities. But that’s okay, because most of the people in this country do. That’s one reason why Democrats are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
increasingly irrelevant? more people voted against trump than for him. 100,000 votes different and harris is president.

You think deporting 10% of a city is a good idea?
 
A: My main point here is the hand-wringing over her status as a reporter is misplaced because she has no special rights due to her job.
B: Men in Black showed us projectile vomiting is funny. Why not do both?

On the other hand, we value her being there and don't ask that she be given special rights other than to be left alone to do her job.

The population of the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area is 18.6 million people, so you’re talking about almost 2,000,000 illegal aliens, unless you just want to count East LA, South Central, and Pacoima. How did we get to the point where we’re beginning to resemble the late Roman Empire overrun by Visegoths? Can we thank stupid Democrats for that? When are these mass deportations set to occur? I say they won’t happen. Anyone who says otherwise can join Democrats in the idiot department. I mean, we have anarchists rioting over government attempts to uphold the law by executing valid warrants to deport murderers and child molesters.

Visegoths (sic)? Man, you spend too much time on the internet.

I think some journalists do tend to demonstrate a sense of entitlement, a feeling that the laws somehow don’t apply to them because of the “public’s right to know.” I’m not saying that’s what happened here. But one thing we know is blaming Trump for the actions of a local cop is stupid. If we’re going to blame him for enforcing the law by removing these people then we might as well blame Joe for being asleep at the wheel and letting them in in the first place.
 
Apparently not as much time as you spend in your Funk & Wagnalls. 😉
The vast, vast majority of immigrants are coming here to make a better life for themselves. They work hard and contribute to our society.

These people are not an invading army. They are not conquering America. Our cities aren't being burnt to the ground. These people aren't your enemy.

Touch grass.

Is there an answer to the question in there, because I'm not seeing it?

Anyone unwilling to answer that question really has no business complaining because that is what Trump wants to do and it is insane.

You really struggle staying on point don't you?

This is your second straight response to one of my posts that goes off the rails.

They are entitled to not be attacked because they are not part of the demonstration and they represent us. They are our eyes and ears.

The only problem with this is that the oppressor doesn't want its deeds recorded.

Most Americans have no problem with immigrants. Many of them are immigrants themselves. We are a nation of immigrants! All they ask is that people follow the law and not try to cut the line. And if they break any more of our laws they need to be prioritized for deportation, which is what the Trump Administration is doing. Democrats think criminal aliens should be set free instead of being detained and handed over to federal immigration authorities. So the feds are coming to get them themselves, and if they happen to come across some more illegals while doing that, well, what can I say? The law says they should be deported, too. 🤷‍♂️

democrats think that? proof?

I gave my opinion. I said mass deportations won’t happen, regardless of what Trump says. He also said he’d end the Russo-Ukrainian War in a day and all hell would break loose if Hamas didn’t release all of its hostages by January 20th. Didn’t happen.

Anyone unwilling to answer that question really has no business complaining because that is what Trump wants to do and it is insane.

Leave me out of the gullible masses who believe everything Trump says.

You People don't deserve a republic.

The proof is in their sanctuary laws that prohibit any such cooperation.

These incidents will be investigated, and if it can be shown that anyone acted contrary to policy they should be dealt with appropriately.
Yes, that has worked out SO well in the past with the LAPD.

You're here defending a cop deliberately singling out a reporter and shooting her with a rubber bullet for no reason whatsoever.

Again, You People don't deserve a republic. You deserve exactly what you're building.

I’m not defending him. What I’m saying is if you present yourself between police equipped in full riot gear and an angry mob that’s having non-lethal rounds fired at it, then there is a risk you’ll get injured. You shouldn’t assume you have a right to be there and that it’s wise to do so simply because you’re a journalist.

As privileged Democrats live in their mega-mansions behind walls in their gated communities, free from the uncivil hoi polloi shoplifting at Food 4 Less and Dollar Tree. 😆

Rather than create their own socialist utopia, all they’ve done is usher in the Brazilification of California society. They’ve completely ruined it. Any working stiff with a skill has either already left the building or is planning on it at some point, e.g. retirement. The people who are left must like riots, because they keep tolerating them. So maybe Trump should just stand back and let it all burn down, eh? Including Sprouts, Trader Joe’s, and Costco, with their prime-cut beef and Alaskan salmon filets?

So how many should we deport, if not all of them?
 
An Australian reporter, targeted by the NG. I was mistaken; she was shot in the chest-fortunately while wearing a bullet-proof vest or we could have been reporting a hospital case. See below*. Irrespective of where she was shot this was a deliberate act of violence against an unarmed woman, doing nothing illegal or provocative.


*https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg7vzrj6g3o

Wrong, that was another reporter from a different news outlet who’s male.

ABC reported one of its camera operators was also hit while filming protests in LA. He was “struck in the chest with what may have been a rubber or foam round” but was wearing a bulletproof vest at the time.
 
She was shot in the head and grabbed her foot?

I think you watched different video than the one you posted...

She wasn't shot in the head. Whoever told you that lied to you, and they believed you would be too ill informed to even check it out and find out that they lied to you. Whoever told you this looks down on you.

Also it was a California cop that shot her... not National Guard...

Which, kinda figures, knowing Californians.

No, he didn’t read his own source he posted, a different reporter, from a different news agency who a different gender.
 
So how many should we deport, if not all of them?

However many either sign on the dotted line and agree to waive an immigration hearing, or who get their day in court along with an order of deportation. I assume you believe we’re a nation of laws, correct? Or do you argue that they only apply to Trump?
