    9news are framing this as “caught in the crossfire of violent protests”. Last time I checked, the police weren’t protesting. I fucking despise this world sometimes.

      The cop turned around, sighted her in, and pulled the trigger. He had ample opportunity to see her microphone or the camera she was talking to.

      This was 1000% an intentional assault on the media.

      He was clearly shooting anyone in sight. This person had been facing the other way, no aggression.
