LAPD DELIBERATELY shoots an Aussie Reporter with a rubber bullet

Agree.

This time, it has been a purposeful escalation - on the part of the federal govt to start with in how they are conducting these ICE deportations and operations.

And then the LAPD was brought in and made things worse.

Now we have the federal government continuing the escalation by federally mobilizing the CANG.

Against the wishes of the governor who is out there saying, plainly, they are NOT properly prepared at this juncture to de-escalate this situation.


None of this has been necessary. Absolutely NONE.

It’s an intentional escalation. And people are getting hurt. Unnecessarily.
 
Remember how nice and peaceful things were for the past 4 years?
Didn't take long to go back to violent chaos, did it.
 
This is just another example of unnecessary chaos that trump deliberately creates,
None of this is called for.

The Governor and elected officials of California had nothing to do with this, and Newsom has stated that he will sue the US government. This was all Trump's initiative; the blame and responsibility rests entirely with him.

Why hold the federal government responsible for the actions of LAPD officers?
 

This conflicts with your post #57, which (rightfully) held the LAPD shooter responsible.

Because it was federal agents that were appearing like they were in Baghdad or Afghanistan and snatching people that were following a legal process and at USCIS or the courts for immigration appointments. They were masked and refused to provide badge numbers or ID. That escalated the situation and that is the fault of Donald Trump
 
I figure if I'm between police and rioters and I get shot .... its probably my fault for being between them and being in that situation. That's all on her

It does look intentional, but we only see one angle, who was behind her? beside her? other side of street ?

So perhaps he accidentally shot the wrong person? I'm not sure that level of incompetence would actually make the situation better.

Camera turns around to show protesters on the other side. We’ve all seen the video. She wasn’t shot in the head. She grabbed her leg. Your description of the video is way off.

The jedi tactic. Stop defending a shitty person.
Always make this about how you all are csi experts that watch frame by frame( which you didn't) trying to convince us the bullet was magic
 
Did they shoot her cause she wasn't carrying an American flag? I hear that's how you win the hearts and minds of people who wanna shoot ya.

The actions of the federal agents are what instigated the escalation.

LAPD have overreacted and leant to the violence, including their own bad actions.

If the federal agents didn’t entice and incite violence in the first place, none of this would have happened.



The catalyst is this Administration and the actions they are taking. Everything that happens is directly tied to the choice of this Administration to cosplay and act like the god damned Gestapo
 

ICE agents doing their jobs isn’t inciting violence, but you be you.

Shes in a fairly normal place for a reporter to be.
Not the middle of the road. Off to the left between the cops and protesters reporting on the news.
The cop turns and fires at her and the camera because its looking at him..

You'll note ( I know you won't because it doesn't help your whatever the **** you are doing here) that the rest of the cops and horses are just chilling atm. Nothing was really going on.


But hey once again so long as the cops are helping your cause you'll make excuses for them. When they arent the cult will beat them and spray them to over turn an election.

Again there needs to be consequences here for people who do this

They don’t need to dress like they’re bombing Baghdad and roll into residential neighborhoods in what look like military vehicles, wearing what appears to be military gear - with their faces covered and not producing warrants but instead walking around carrying rifles.

I’m sorry you don’t grasp that.

THAT is the catalyst.

The actions that ICE and other federal agents have been taking - their dress, their vehicles, their increasingly heavy handed tactics - are the catalyst.

And it is ON PURPOSE.
