A paramilitary group that we like to call the police shot smoke grenades at protesters legally protesting as there first amendment allows them to.
At what point do they conclude, "This protest is no longer peaceful enough to be covered by the 1st Amendment. Flash-Bang Smoke Grenades are clearly now warranted, nay, necessary."
Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.
If those losers in paramilitary kit thought they were under threat they wouldn't be in a line btw. Literally one of the first things you learn not to do in the army.
Now you know why they don't want us to have machine guns.
Something about seeing some of the beautiful blooming jacaranda trees that are everywhere in LA in this picture really got me :(
All I see is a target rich environment.
I wonder how many of those carriers actually have plates.
Fucking pigs
Absolutely disgusting. These cowards are illegally shooting less lethal rounds at protestors who are exercising their constitutionally-protected right to Free Speech! Or, at least we're supposed to be protecting them...
You misspelled pigs. These are the people now getting trained by IDF in cop cities all across the country.
Huh. I thought masks weren’t allowed…
Bunch of shit soldiers
