Obviously this lone individual required being shot with less lethal weaponry instead of a group of armed law enforcement taking 30 seconds to talk to her. There were literally no other option, their lives were in danger!

Wtf!! The curfew announcement sounded like it was for the freeways, but I guess they meant those were the borders... Worse than I thought. The announcement also said you were fine if you had a medical emergency or if you were coming and going home/to work. Apparently fcking not.
Clearly a violent protester putting this line of brave officers in danger
"Protect and Serve"
They are protecting and serving, just not Americans.
Fake democracy ruled by thugs
Aren't Americans supposed to have guns and stuff to fight against tyrannical governments. Some amendment or the other which grants them rights or some shit
To be fair, using those rights against cops is ineffective. They are meant for tyrants which are those in charge.
There seems to be growing evidence that armed protesters are treated better and taken more seriously by police. Whether it's a "good old boy" effect, the prospect of more paperwork and scrutiny, or just perceived threat, it may be a way forward.
This is what happens when you don’t weed out the limp dick losers when recruiting. They will power trip and shoot women just for the thrills.

No one else wants to become a cop.
Were they targeting women? I think women are their worst demographic, it would make sense if they targeted them to stay home. I've only heard and seen women hit with bullets.
Cruelty is the point
No, they're targeting people who try to take rubber bullets home with them.
Republicunts when this gets on the news... "They felt threatened! She was MS-13 or could have been! This is cause Democrat commies love violent illegals! She was really a man!"
Fuck this. If you do so much as yell at a Republican they've shown they can claim self defense & get away with murder. I don't care if it is a cop or not, the only time anyone should be pointing a gun at someone else is if they have serious reason to believe that person poses a significant & immediate threat to their life or that of someone else, and only if the person they're defending is not a threat or able to respond with equal or greater force. The cops in this scenario were & are in fact the threats & should be dealt with in the same conditions by acting in self defense.
Fascists don’t care when you call them hypocrites and monsters.
They only care when you step up and act to stop them.
Do more of that
In case more evidence for the ACAB theory was required.
Kinda harsh punishment for stealing the rubber bullet.
None of them tried to stop the shot from happening. They're all piggy cowards
Praying for another Christopher Dorner
It's only going to escalate. These fucks need a visit from a home Depot rental truck.
