Most reviled, hated and pathetic man on the planet.
So dumb, vain and vile, it is truly making it hard to hold the line and keep a systemic analysis instead of a personalized hate of the individual.
Man, I wouldn't let this man into my house or near my dog.

As much as this brutality described in terms of "human rights", cruelty etc., it would be more accurate to recognize that the prison is a site of warfare, that it is a battlefield.
It is indeed true that sadism and violation saturate the zionist prisons but it is in service of a STRATEGY.

The problem is not press unable to identify themselves properly. The problem is LAPD shooting us with kinetic munitions and interfering with our work. Ysabel Jurado and Eunisses Hernandez would have us meet LAPD on LAPD’s terms when LAPD is the one breaking the law and shooting people.
Councilmember Ysabel Jurado has introduced a motion to protect journalists covering protests. The motion: LAPD will create a public campaign on how to obtain LAPD-issued press passes along w/ signing MoUs between press groups and the city to create an agreement on conduct at protests.

Rather than correcting the behavior of non-discriminant shooting by cops at protests, this shifts the blame towards press not having proper credentials. I doubt a mutual agreement will be honored by LAPD. It's not like there is a long history of them breaking laws and "agreements".
