Is America trying to replicate the Arab spring? If so, the next steps can get very messy. Just look what happened in Syria.
- American weapons were used against some of those protestors, too. And in Palestine.
  We're market leaders on violence.
  
  That's a very disturbing symmetry...
- Yes, they are.
- More like Israel. They'll just keep shooting.
  Why would they ever stop stomping faces once you begun? It's so much fun!
- More like Western Autumn. It's similar but goes the opposite way.
- I would say sudan is a better example
This article is full of weak apologetic language.
Officers shot non-lethal rounds.
Reporter was hit
How about officers shot at reporters
Reporters were shot by officers
- Its probably more about wanting justice and being unable to get it. Living in a country where police pops a journalist and nothing really happens. Just some article that someone is "concerned".
  I dont think its a complaint about the journalism per se. Just feeling frustrated that the police officer is not immediately dismissed and sent to court to stand trial for obvious intentional use of force against someone completely innocent.
  But America has changed and the very president encourages violence and pure racism, so.... Yeah.
- non-lethal
  "Less lethal." These things can kill you.
- The title is fucked. None of those assholes are enforcing any laws.
- No one who's seen riot pigs in action could be fooled into believing that these incidents are accidental. The bastards absolutely did it on purpose to amuse themselves, they literally laugh while wounding civilians, press or not.
The Israeli way.
Fascist militarized police state well underway.
Police are not supposed to have military equipment.
Police are not supposed to shoot reporters.
Start arming yourselves.
