I saw this come across my feeds and had to write something about it.
Okay, so get rid of the non-lethal options. Got it! 😉
Not shooting journalists with rubber bullets might seem like a good idea; that is, if you understand nothing about leftwing militia tactics, urban security, or asymmetrical warfare.
A federal judge has granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Los Angeles police officers from using rubber projectiles and other so-called less-lethal munitions against reporters covering protests against the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
In a ruling made public Friday, U.S. District Judge Hernán D. Vera said a coalition of press rights organization successfully argued that a court injunction was necessary to protect journalists and others exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
So to protect all the random dudes with cameras that show up to capture the riots for social media, the cops are going to have to tie their hands behind their backs.
Judge Vera: I have a lesson for you in incentive structures (this is very hard for leftist minds to comprehend, but stay with me).
If you publicly announce that cops can no longer shoot people who might even remotely look like journalists, what do you think the violent rioters are going to do?
Do you think they're going to make sure to differentiate themselves from real reporters, or do you think they'll double down on already-established practices of carrying cameras and wearing jackets with "PRESS" printed on them?
I'm sure the left-wing domestic terrorists who believe they need to stop Trump at all costs will play nice and by the rules!
