It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.
Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

Hi Belinda. Sorry about this. Journalists who are reporting on protests are esp. at risk of injury at the hands of police. That dynamic has been far worse since Trump's first term where he vilified journalists endlessly.
LAPD is also known for it. After only 3 days, there's a long list of attacks.

As an Ohioan who lives in Jim Jordan’s district, I’ve been waiting on this doc.
More than its political implications, I want to recognize the courage of the men who stepped forward to become the faces of this tragedy, including thousands of assaults enabled by people like Jordan.

I worry about the future of democracy when leaders like Emmanuel Macron act like kings -- and possibly stoke resentment towards government. Macron has lost touch with what it means to work, to travel with children, or to spend 26 euros.

This is an incredible initiative! Does anyone in the Pittsburgh area want to work on this with me?
Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.

We know, it's a big goal.
If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.
