The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
You know shits getting real when the cops will shoot at a blonde white girl.
It’s called flirting. Or maybe he asked her out and she rejected him. It really could go both ways.
She certainly didn’t dodge a bullet with him.
Jokes aside, I hope she and Australia sue them into oblivion.
It should also be noted that the term “rubber bullet” is exceedingly euphemistic.
So-called ‘rubber bullets’ are huge and have been known to maim and blind people. These aren’t tiny little paintball rounds, folks.
Yes, they are “less-lethal” but there are still hundreds of cases where people have been killed or permanently disabled because of these.
Because most of them have a core of metal or other high density material and a softer exterior. It’s like wrapping a brick in a couple of layers of bubble wrap and hitting someone if the face with it.
Zero justification, not a stray bullet etc, he literally aims and shoots at the camera, what in the fuck is going on over their?
If I recall correctly, the officer broke article 19 of the UDHR. I have a sneaking suspicion that that officer isn’t getting any reprecussions for their actions.
Much more likely he’ll get paid leave to deal with the “trauma” of the negative attention he’ll get.
LAPD shot a protester in the head with rubber bullets and refused to call an ambulance for her as she lay there bleeding and concussed; another protester was trampled and concussed by mounted police; countless other protestors were beat over the head savagely with batons… and this is only what was on video.
A good time to remind everybody that while rubber bullets are considered “non-lethal,” they can kill.
Back in 2004 a college student in Boston died from a bullet that missed its intended target, hit the ground and ricocheted into her eye.

So, while the shot certainly wasn’t warranted, IMO its worse because of what could have happened because this officer was taking a shot for fun.
“non-lethal” Oh, boy! What an infuriating misnomer that is.
This is also a good time to remember nothing here in this context is “non-lethal”. All of these things (sand bags, tear gas, tasers, pepper spray, mace, rubber bullets, batons, shields, tactical holds, etc.) are accurately called “less lethal” because all of them can and will kill under certain circumstances, even when used by trained officers with good intentions. (I know. How often does that happen, right?) It doesn’t take much to cross that line between “not intending murder” and “actual fucking murder”, often something as simple as a common medical condition or simply falling while moving over hard ground like curbs and sidewalks. If a reporter is using the term “non-lethal” in the context of police brutality, that’s a pretty good sign that you are being lied to.
Almost all " non-lethal" munitions are really “less lethal” and capable of killing someone if they get hit in the wrong area. They also easily maim. I saw a pellet from what are called “donkey balls” which are essentially clay-more mines filled with little rubber pellets bounce off a wall fast enough to go through someone’s cheek and exit out the other side of his mouth. TLDR You can really fuck someone up with that stuff. Cops think they are like nerf toys.
This wasn’t a “stray round.” That shot was deliberate and that pig knew exactly what he was aiming at.
People killed by the german police in 2024 (record year): 22 People killed by the police in the united states in 2022: 1176 Well i guess we only have 1/4 of the population so 50 times the number of deaths is normal is to be expected.
