The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
What's IDF for non Americans?
Otherwise, cops shooting at journalists is pretty worrisome.
Many US police departments have been training with the Israeli “Defense” Forces for years. They are bringing the tactics back home.
Police with this behavior should be fired and prosecuted. Unacceptable.
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.
And a British one, too.

Bullet proof west with PRESS on it and a helmet/glasses. Trump made a war zone so it should be treated as a war zone.
I mean yes but its not a 'lost bullet'. he willingly fired on her, and at that distance he could clearly fucking see she has a microphone and is in front of a professional news camera.
Cops FAIL hard when it matters. All the time.
Thats not a failure. You can see it raising its weapon to take a pot shot. It's deliberately doing atrocities.
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.
2nd time Trump's bullshit lead to an Australian reporter getting assaulted on air.
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.
I think Trump dreams of a civil war. That will be the perfect excuse to hurry the slow dictatorship takeover.
That is slowly happening anyway, while people are still having wet dreams of democracy.
We will have no video evidence of our obvious fascism, thank you!
