But also, cops shouldn't be escalating violence at all against anyone.
Did you know that American police are trained by Israel to escalate.
You're white huh
Only a person of privilege would be so nieve
@@paxwallace8324 *Naive.
@@gracieb.3054 who cares u know wtf I mean
This is what happens when IDF train IS police: they behave like IDF (IOF).
The case at the end of the video: legal cases like this should not be settled out of court and without admission of guilt and without reforms.
Julian Assange.
They've buried him so deep that only true activists remember that he is a hero of Democracy or even who he is. Free Julian Assange guilty of Journalism plain and simple.
In total, the UTIMCO has $8,125,888 in investments linked to the IDF and the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
A 2017 Texas law prevents the state’s public agencies from investing in companies that boycott Israel. It is also illegal for agencies to invest in “financial companies who boycott certain energy companies” under a 2021 law, and the same applies for investing in companies that “discriminate” against firearms companies. The State of Texas has its own investments, which include nearly $100 million in Israeli bonds. Abbott also introduced a rule requiring state agencies boycott goods from the Gaza Strip or any organization with ties to Hamas.
, lawyer up, bring charges against them and municipal leadership over them for their actions and vote them out.
Portland Police nearly killed me twice, I learned real quick to NEVER be around police.
Follow the money
Endowments, tuition fees, research grants, alumni donations and other revenue streams contribute towards financial stability and support their educational aims. As of the 2021/22 academic year, Ivy League institutions generated $40.61 billion in total revenue.
The federal government provides enormous subsidies to the wealthiest universities by paying “overhead” on research grants. Ivy League universities received $1.8 billion for government-funded research grants despite having $192 billion in endowment funds.
Universities take taxpayer grants, endowments, and tuition, and invest it in weapons companies. These weapon companies give HUGE donations to POLITICIANS.
The universities then take the BILLIONS of profits and give them to countries like Israel that then uses the money to buy weapons from those same weapons companies who then GIVE MORE donations to POLITICIANS.
This is why ALL these America POLITICIANS are smearing ANYONE that recommends divestment.
They don’t care who dies so long as the money keeps rolling.
Yes, you’re absolutely right. It’s all about the money.
It’s called ‘police state’
Remember that ol saying " If your willing to sacrifice liberty for security, you deserve neither and will probably lose both." Police are using the unchecked power you gave them.
You mean: Police are *abusing* the unchecked power given them. Last time I checked, people have never had the opportunity to vote on whether the police have unchecked power. We didn't vote to have police turn on us.
C.N N. being arrested. They are directly responsible for the Police Respose. What goes around comes around.
American democracy in action. Why do your police think that they are "in battle" against their own people?
Why don't you just tell us? We aren't psychic.
When the boss orders they followed them
None of the excuses this poor example for a peace officer is given are worth a d*** whatsoever.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
And they need to talk about 2024
Trained by IDF .. so what would you expect!!
Evidence for that claim?
And yes they talk about 2024 that ok
Look at what is happening in Gaza…WE ARE ALL CIVILIANS
It's simple it's called fascist police brutality
And remember what happen to AMIA bomb in my country Argentina
HELLO,Los Angeles Times💙🤍❤🦅🗽💯
I am watching this from a country where we do have actual freedom and rights.I can't understand why you think jounalists should be protected from police brutality.Surely the entire population should be protected from police violence.Your politicians and legal system appears to be failing you.
The "Anarchist" reporter had me rolling. His lack of appreciation for anarchy when it directly affects his well being is so very rich. He loved it when it was other people's property and wellbeing being destroyed. F him in particular.
As for everyone with a phone camera now being press I can only say that when everyone is press no one is press. Actual journalists practice journalism. A pursuit distinct from that of Influencer or politician or the average breakfast photo artist. We need to see that cops that arrest and charge accredited journalists with riot face the consequences of interfering with this constitutional right. Stiff consequences that as they used to say, makes it on the news.
¿ What do you mean by 'actual journalists,' those who are co-opted and financed by the U.S State Department/Intelligence services and financed by major corporations ? When mainstream journalism, which it seems that you uniquely advocate for is compromised by the U.S State Department & the armaments industry; how can you expect to get unbiased news, which doesn't follow the narrative and interests of those financiers/overseers.
Daddy Israel got mad and sent its peoples
"WHO IS A JOURNALIST" ....a poor excuse....used against Julian Assange. The First Amendment protects EVERYBODY and does not allow a third party to decide "who is a journalist".
I don't like 2023 because that year was disappointing
If every protester held up a camera and identified themselves as press, would you have a protest? I have seen many protest where protesters are directly in front of law enforcement holding a cellphone impeding the actions of law enforcement. Are they protesters or irresponsible press members? When you stand in with the rioters who are being subject to less than lethal force being used, you might get hit. I have seen individuals throw objects at police while holding cellphones "documenting ", are they protesters or journalists? Law enforcement are put in harms way by procedures. The press (some) chooses to place themselves in harms way, accept the outcome of your foolish choice. A press credential is not greater than a law enforcement badge, you also have a responsibility to act professionally. If you are having to say you are press to avoid harm, you made a bad choice, don't stand where the bombs are falling
"Law enforcement are put in harms way by procedures." How are law enforcement put in harms way by journalists? That's ridiculous. The free press doing their job, as they are required, entitled and enabled to do by our Constitution is deemed by yourself a "foolish choice". Our Constitution says otherwise. This is why there is freedom of the press.
It isn't your job to try to distinguish between someone who is press or someone documenting on a cell phone. As long as they aren't doing something illegal, you don't have any business stopping them. And a person recording you doesn't entitle you to treat a human being as an object in your way. It should also be easy to tell when it's a member of the press corps when they repeatedly shout, or, as in this case, tries to shout "Press" at you. There is a difference between an accidental run in with someone, and acts of aggression aimed deliberately at Press.
Frankly, it's transparent that you're simply making justifications for abuse of power and it's obvious when law enforcement is angered (like yourself) b/c their abusive behavior is being documented by anyone.
It's standard abuser reasoning to try and reverse victim and offender. If you didn't want to get stabbed, why did you stand in the way of my knife? What a bad choice to stand in front of my knife!
That's some bad logic there. Don't stand where the bombs are falling? Here's news for you. This isn't a war; you are not in a warzone. So don't treat civilians as combatants.
There's also standard law that law enforcement have to follow, or do you not know that? Police are not supposed to willfully disregard the life of innocent people in pursuit of an agenda. And you wonder why trust and respect for police officers are at an all time low?
@gracieb.3054 I have heard many of journalists while reporting say "we need to move" and still be able to report.
I wrote that law enforcement have procedures they must follow, rules, and those rules include the use of weapons and when and whom to use them on. I know there are those that violate those rules and should be held accountable.
Don't you think there should also be some procedures, rules, training, etc,vent of the for journalists to responsible report the event without being the event of the report?
Clean up both sides.
I appreciate the conversation. Thank you.
And sorry for ruin my country Argentina
And the police do a good Job every one of you would phone them if someone came to your house stop playing the victim long live the POLICE ❤❤
Because you dress just like the protesters.
Protesting is not against the law.
