Fucking Disgusting Pig. That was very obviously intentional, he turned around and aimed directly at her and shot her, she was posing absolutely zero threat, she was doing nothing to warrant being shot at with a rubber bullet, that dude is just a power tripping bastard. Hope they sue the shit out of the law enforcement and this dude gets fired but it's America, he will be transferred to another division with a pay raise. Something very rotten with America lately, they're very quickly becoming the next Hungary/Belarus. Local media is utterly useless at calling out the current administration, a mixture of fear and the fact that local media is owned by right-wing billionaires so they support Trump and meanwhile foreign media gets shot at for reporting on the reality. |
This is what you get when the US outsources police training to Israel.

Through police exchange programs, local and federal officials travel to Israel for training that advocates say further militarizes the police and exacerbates harm to marginalized communities.
Thousands of law enforcement officials have traveled to Israel to learn new repression strategies and surveillance techniques from the Israel National Police, Israel Defense Forces, and the Shin Bet, who inflict violence, crowd control, and surveillance onto Palestinians. Anti-imperialist advocates say the tactics being taught to US law enforcement were battle-tested on Palestinians and spread to the US to target Black and Brown communities through a training relationship that grants Israeli forces more power and profit, causing further harm to Palestinians.
It's all connected and not a coincidence Trump is escalating the protests as much as possible.
And already going after Union leaders

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
