A WCCO reporter is arrested for filming the police. He clearly identifies himself and asks them where he is supposed to go. “GET ON THE GROUND!” they shout at him as he backs up trying to get out of their way.

Mike George’s CBS news crew comes under rubber bullet fire from police. His sound engineer is hit. The news crew is credentialed, has their cameras out, and not near any crowds. “They’re sighting us in!” as you see them take deliberate aim.

The police are out of control. They want to punish citizens for criticizing them, for filming them, for exposing their violence. Police targeted my friend, a photojournalist. Shot her in the face with rubber bullets. Doctors couldn’t save her eye. 😔

. Police throw a man to the ground. A cop kneel on the man’s neck, the same exact way they murdered . People can be heard screaming “GET YOUR KNEE OFF HIS NECK! GET YOUR F*CKING KNEE OFF HIS NECK!” before his partner finally intervenes.

NYPD cop casually slams a man with his car door as he drives by. The police are angry for being exposed. They want blood. de Blasio uses the NYPD as his personal army, even getting them to move his daughter and her belongings out her apartment.

DC police shoot a tear gas round directly at a man’s head, barely missing him. The point of tear gas is to be less lethal. Firing it into someone’s face point-blank is attempted murder by . Boston PD killed Victoria Snelgrove this way in 2004.

My friends in the National Guard are concerned that the Rules of Engagement are unclear on what to do if they witness police violating the customary international laws of armed conflict. They have a duty to intervene if they see police aiming rubber bullets at peoples’ heads.

Today, it emerged that the “shots fired” was an officer shooting into the air to disperse the crowd. After learning that all officers had their body cams DISABLED, Mayor Fischer fired the police chief. 12 hours later, McAtee’s body still lay on the ground where he died.
