    This article is full of weak apologetic language.

    Officers shot non-lethal rounds.

    Reporter was hit

    How about officers shot at reporters

    Reporters were shot by officers

        Its probably more about wanting justice and being unable to get it. Living in a country where police pops a journalist and nothing really happens. Just some article that someone is “concerned”.

        I dont think its a complaint about the journalism per se. Just feeling frustrated that the police officer is not immediately dismissed and sent to court to stand trial for obvious intentional use of force against someone completely innocent.

        But America has changed and the very president encourages violence and pure racism, so… Yeah.

      No one who’s seen riot pigs in action could be fooled into believing that these incidents are accidental. The bastards absolutely did it on purpose to amuse themselves, they literally laugh while wounding civilians, press or not.
