I wrote like a whole thing here and then I got distracted by writing and my page ended up refreshing and I lost the actual post that I was Writing. Enjoy the Twitter screenshot. Rest assured that I am in fact actually writing with some regularity. And yeah, Josh Hill is a great reporter. I follow him on Twitter and on Facebook.
I recently read an article where off duty cops shot a 6yo boy who was with his mother (who was raving and carrying a shotgun tbf). I’m not going after the cops with this comment but the report, which said “the boy was struck while in a gunfight with police”.
The woman did not exchange fire, the boy was shot by the off-duty cops. But try to find a news source that admits they shot the kid in the head during the exchange. I am afraid of what implications this deference towards police entail
I hope you emailed them calling them names for being so spineless
Might as well just say “protesters shooting themselves” at this point. Rule 1 of news: police are never the aggressor.
Were they even protesting about Palestine?
Yes! it was part of the #strike4gaza on april 15th. the news actually probably referred to it as ‘near the tesla factory’ because that is the phrase the organizers of the protest used amongst themselves. . I had* a link to a site they were using, it was the first thing duckduckgo gave back on monday so I assume the reporters got it the same way.
