I’m sorry, what the fuck?

What have we become America? This is the type of thing that happens in Mexico or Russia.

One might get the impression the police are no different than ICE „agents“ – The real ones AND the fake ones.

The way you effect change is by holding perpetrators accountable through the legal system. You don’t wag the finger from the bench and act like that will change anything.

..and then what; an Appellate Court upholds the ruling, then the SCOTUS knocks it down like everything else they rule in favor of Trump?

Looks like EVERYONE should strap an old cellphone to their chest and record. and print out and laminate “ Free Press“ badges.
We the people Are the press.

LAPD: We hear you
Judge: So you are going to stop doing this?
LAPD: The request has been filed.

Cops are and always have been the enemy of the people. They aren’t going to stop doing this because this is literally the purpose of their existence.

Ahhh yes when police officers opens fire on unarmed journalists a judge tells them to politely stop.
But when 1 civilian takes arms up against ICE, then it’s a fucking 50,000 dollar manhunt.
Glad to see this country has its priorities in order.

So a federal judge is admitting that the LAPD are indeed committing constitutional crimes against freedom of the press?

Their parents should have instilled empathy and moral values in them when they were young. It’s too late to try to do that now.

Because they wouldn’t fucking stop on their own. Remember that big immigrant round up today in Oxnard California? Dozens of heavily armed federal agents with ZERO local law enforcement to protect the protestors.

> Vera recounted multiple instances of journalists being cordoned away from the protests or detained and arrested by officers. Documentarian and activist Anthony Orendoff was detained for four days despite telling officers he was a member of the press.
> Vera also recounted many instances of violence against members of the press. In one instance, an officer appeared to aim his gun at 9News Australia’s Lauren Tomasi while she was reporting live, and fired a rubber bullet which hit her in the leg on air. Photojournalist Michael Nigro, who stood high above the protests in a press vest and helmet, heard the sound of LLMs hitting a pole by his head, and later that day was struck in the helmet by a rubber bullet. Another unidentified photojournalist with a press pass was pushed over by a police officer, and trampled by a police horse.
So why does the LAPD not want to press to report on the riots? If they are doing everything legally and in accordance to policy, there’s no need to abuse reporters.

Yeah, but did they say pretty please with a cherry on top?

Those cops need to be arrested and punished for assaulting civilians

When a judge has to tell us that shooting reporters is bad, something is very wrong.

Poor LAPD. Imagine attending your six week cop class, working so hard for your career… only to be told you can’t murder civilians!!!
