ICE shot a journalist in the leg. A journalist.

They’re shooting people who are there to cover the protests as an essential part of the freedom of the press and the right to free speech.

It was apparently a “less lethal” round (ie rubber bullets) yet emergency surgery is required.

This regime has already silenced so many journalists.

Kicked them out of the Oval Office and filled it with “friendlies” (ie propagandists).

These are dark times:

@broadwaybabyto And this is why people are going incognito to cover the protests.

And why the networks aren't exactly sending reporters to TALK to residents.

1965 all over again. When the media had to send in Black reporters from NYC to cover the first LA rebellion,or use backroom people as reporters for fear of being attacked.
