Reminder: if your side is shooting journalists you’re the bad guys.
A paramilitary group that we like to call the police shot smoke grenades at protesters legally protesting as there first amendment allows them to.
If those losers in paramilitary kit thought they were under threat they wouldn't be in a line btw. Literally one of the first things you learn not to do in the army.
Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(
At what point do they conclude, "This protest is no longer peaceful enough to be covered by the 1st Amendment. Flash-Bang Smoke Grenades are clearly now warranted, nay, necessary."
- Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.
All I see is a target rich environment.
I wonder how many of those carriers actually have plates.
