    Ugh.

    “hit by rubber bullet”

    You mean deliberately aimed at while reporting and not causing a disturbance of any kind and then fucking shot at, right? You mean intentionally targeted and shot at for no reason, right? You mean assaulted because police are fascist pigs, right?

      The cop did that because he knows there is no accountability for doing so. He thought it’d be cool, so he did it.

        Don’t get me wrong, they do think it’s funny and laugh about it, but this is not just a prank or joke. It’s intentionally terrorising people who bring cameras to expose their actions. We saw the same targeting of the press during BLM.
