This can’t be happening! I don’t have words I’m so shocked. Thank goodness the journalist is not critically injured! But he may have lingering problems. Can he sue!?

So sorry for him. This is bad!!!

They shouldn’t be shooting people like that, but that 100% shouldn’t be shooting people in the head. A leg would suffice. They need to be held accountable for being opportunistic would be murderers

Ok to shoot someone in the leg? Really, they shot a woman trying to get to her home today, shot on the stomach, is that okay too?

The first part is they shouldn’t be shooting people. These are bullets that are rubberized, they are inflicting pain and injury. So they shouldn’t be shooting people. Then if they feel threatened, which is silly since they have the weapons and the protestors and people being shot have nothing, they should not being shooting these unarmed people in the head. They will say they needed to and if they really needed to then yes a leg is better but none of the people that have been shot are people that were actually posing a threat to anyone.

Memories of Kent State. The “investigation won’t find or provide any information. Case closed.

Shouldn’t be shooting or detaining news people at all. First Amendment literally coming under fire.

This is the second journalist that I’ve read has been shot intentionally! These unidentified “police/ICE” are targeting journalists.😡

Another innocent person just shot? This is incredible. And against the backdrop of all they are doing already. What have we come to?

Where is the humanity of people? When we get back to our democracy, these people who have no soul will hopefully wake up and realize what they have done. I send healing for the gentleman who was injured.

Why is the California highway police, which doesn’t work for Trump, so aggressive? Of COURSE they shouldn’t be shooting people, but what preoccupies me is WHY? In this case, specifically, the shooter couldn’t be feeling menaced, the police were not stopping any violent or illegal act, so why did he do it? Was he nervous, giddy, or just mean? Was he an outlier, or do other police agents share his proclivity?

It looks like law enforcement is doing everything it can to bring about martial law for King TACO. This will be a really high risk issue for protesters going to protest in DC.

One reason people voted for King TACO was that they lost trust in Public Institutions and here we have trust being destroyed in front of Americans and the world.

Democrats and other forces need to start attacking those who are deliberately ruining American Institutions to account.

You are right but he does deserve the title of the biggest of all TACOs a title that he will take to his grave.

If he wants the title of King at least give him a title he will hate and make him totally insane so he can see inside a real asylum.

I’ll agree to King crab legs. And real kings like King Charles, etc. I don’t know anything about king prawns.

I bate to say it but I am beginning to think we need to defund the police… unless they begin protecting our cities from invading masked Proud Boys pretending to be ICE agents and ICE agents pretending to be people.

Wow, I just stumbled on this while scrolling, new here and still finding my way, but this thread really stopped me in my tracks. Thank you for sharing this info, Cecilia... it's heartbreaking but so important. Hoping those women are getting the support they need. Just trying to take it all in.

Seems they have the go ahead to shoot at news crew or anyone filming their bad behavior. Head shot is just vicious.

Lauren Tomasi was shot while she was on air. It can be seen that the shooter turned to her before letting off the shot. So yeah, deliberate.
