The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.

You know shits getting real when the cops will shoot at a blonde white girl.

I was watching Hasan being at the protests to get a sense of what is actually going on and a European left a comment on his video that succinctly put the US police into perspective.

As a European I don't get how the police is just shooting rubber bullets instantly, why do they not have riot shields and water throwers and such, it seems so uncivilised.

And that pretty much sums up the cops in the US. They're just uncivilized. Their idea of "deescalation" is escalation until you're too incapacitated to fight back.

It’s called flirting. Or maybe he asked her out and she rejected him. It really could go both ways.

She certainly didn't dodge a bullet with him.

Jokes aside, I hope she and Australia sue them into oblivion.

Then the poor LA taxpayers foot the bill while Rubber Rambo keeps his job and gets a free vacation.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Taxpayers are footing the bill regardless. That should never be a deterrent for holding the bad guys responsible for their behavior.

Im pointing out that it doesn’t hold the bad guys accountable. They are above the law, the only accountability they will get is bleeding to death on the streets. Or even smarter, bleeding to death in their bedroom or the bar the frequent.

Look I’m just as jaded, exhausted, and sick of this tyrannical bullshit as you are, but at the same time we’ve got to start somewhere. And if we can maybe make things (financially) uncomfortable for the people in charge, then so be it.

A foreign news organization is more likely able to make things uncomfortable than you or me.

We’ve got to start somewhere. We’ve got to start, and never stop.

LAPD has costed the county billions in lawsuits that the county can’t afford. This has been going on for my entire life. Nothing has changed.

Thugs only speak one language.

We won't. Our government is still trying to pretend that everything is fine and normal in the US despite winning the recent election in a massive landslide based partially on anti-Trumpism sentiment. I'd love to see Albo prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.
