It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.

In 1992, LA had riots sparked by police brutality. Since then, the LAPD has striven to uphold the utmost standards in police work . . . lol, no, they made sure ACAB applies double to them.

Jailed

There must be real consequences. We need leadership that actually has the balls to deal with this sort of trash.

/and no, I'm not holding my breath or expecting anything to actually happen

He'll probably get a promotion

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Firing is a promotion sorta

Punk-ass cowards. Trigger-happy pigs. Death to them all.

Supposedly how would it be if protesters loaded water balloons with liquid ass and threw it at them?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Liquid ass is too nice for Gestapo

You might wanna see this https://youtu.be/dm7kZPMoP2s

It's about Florida

It was a rubber coated metal bullet fired at close range.

You do not shoot someone unless you want them dead.

Shit, as prior military we were taught you don't point your weapon at anything or anyone unless you're prepared to pull the trigger. The fact that all the others on that line had their weapons down, but this dude has his up the whole time, tells you all you need to know about the lack of training of that individual.

That is fucking nuts. If you have 50 police officers you do not need to shoot a woman who is VERY clearly not a fucking threat. Holy shit they treated her like she was carrying

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

They kept shooting at her even when she was limping away crying and someone trying to help her. So being a threat I think was the least of their concerns. Seems more like they were enjoying target practice.

reminder that "non lethal weapons" are actually just "less lethal weapons". rubber bullets, tear gas and tasers absolutely can and have killed people.

No way I could be a cop. If I was standing in line with those guys and saw my coworker shoot a girl close range I'd punch him in the face. This is what people mean when they say ACAB. There's no way a decent person can see a woman get shot like that and not want to help.

Hollywood needs to pump out more REAL cop shows, where they show how cowardly, fat and racists cops are.

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 1 points 6 days ago

That's actually what Hollywood did until the red scare. Hence the "keystone cops" of early cinema.
