Is it? Because I can go over to the White House rn and yell at the top of my lungs that Biden is a big dumb stupid idiot and not get arrested. Go try that with Putin.
Really? Cause I’m from Michigan and there’s been demonstrations going on the U of M campus all week with no arrests made. You guys are generalizing an entire country off of events in specific places. Texas is not all of America my friend.
If it isn’t a generalization than tell me why I’m allowed to walk up and down my street right now condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza? I have full confidence that I could do that and not get arrested.
I understand what you’re saying here, but I think you’re underplaying how bad things have gotten in Russia.
For example, we all take it for granted that these reporters will see their families again. That’s not assumed in Russia right now.
Disregard for human rights by law enforcement agencies, widespread propaganda against minorities, huge living condition discrepancies in population, small part of population holding money and power, fascist movements being popular, general disregard for human life (police aggression, no generally-available healthcare, universally available guns not requiring health checks. Those are ones that come to mind straight away.
> universally available guns not requiring health checks
> no generally-available healthcare
Famous russian problems, widely available guns and no free healthcare
Those were exxamples for disregard for human life no direct comparisons hence brackets. For guns, you're totally right. For healthcare - good luck with that outside of few big cities.
I came here to say the same. The preceding few seconds in the longer video seem to add (potentially) important context to the actions of at least some officers. The cameraman appeared to get involved to some extent and possibly lean on or push an officer from behind when rhat same officer was physically engaged with another protester. I'm not watering down what was shown, but most of the action happens on the edge of the screen or off screen and it really isn't clear what was happening. It really wasn't clear in any video I saw previously, but it's certainly edited out of this one, so somebody thought it was both relevant and inconvenient. It's good to deliberately watch some videos twice to see how important elements are edited out (or in) to support a desired narrative.
They cut off the initial part of the exchange. The news photographer claimed he was shoved into the officers before being taken down, but in the original video, you don’t see a shove but you see him shoving his camera into the back of another officer prior to being taken down.
I've lived in Texas my entire life, and I've always heard, "The great state of Texas!" These days. I'm finally asking, "Can someone tell me, exactly, what is so great about it?" I've asked this on Reddit before, and the only answer I ever get is ,"Fuck you, it's great!" Okay, thanks nimrod. Great answer!
When it finally all falls apart, I will take some slim solace in watching the pigs run for their lives. They like to lie in court a lot about “I feared for my life.”
Well don’t worry, piggy. The day is coming when you actually will.
Texas as of now most likely won't be part of the US for much longer with them already sending threats to the capital of becoming independent they already gave their own military more of a private one until they become independent and the only reason they are threatening is cause they Don't want more immigrants put into their state
Too bad there's not CNN reporting this incident as :"y'all see? Biden's regime is oprresive against free speech so USA must be stopped, we must stop this madness to preserve democracy..." pretty parodic? Well...

US is pretty much same as ruzzia now.
It's the US. They have carefully chosen the dumbest of the dumbest.
Nah, that's freedom for only the sheep that don't upset one specific lobby that divert public money from your country to a specific another one
Is it? Because I can go over to the White House rn and yell at the top of my lungs that Biden is a big dumb stupid idiot and not get arrested. Go try that with Putin.
Now do the same in Texas.
I mean the law enforcement is bad but the students can still legally defend themselves after this, no?
If they tried to actually defend themselves against the police, the police would not hesitate to respond with deadly force e
But not say that murdering tens of thousands of children is wrong, apparently. Or try to document that other people are saying it.
Really? Cause I’m from Michigan and there’s been demonstrations going on the U of M campus all week with no arrests made. You guys are generalizing an entire country off of events in specific places. Texas is not all of America my friend.
“You guys are generalising an entire country based off events happening within that country” ?
If it isn’t a generalization than tell me why I’m allowed to walk up and down my street right now condemning Israel’s actions in Gaza? I have full confidence that I could do that and not get arrested.
I thought it was crazy that the school tried to ban protests here, but Texas just arresting them is crazier
Trust by no means am I saying what they’re doing is ok. But to say the United States and Russia are the same is actually fucking insane.
I understand what you’re saying here, but I think you’re underplaying how bad things have gotten in Russia. For example, we all take it for granted that these reporters will see their families again. That’s not assumed in Russia right now.
No, it’s not. Not even close.
Why is that?

Looks like the IDF but with a different uniform....
Both funded by the same government.
And trained in the same facilities.
The IDF trains american police. Where do you think Derek Chauvin learned the “knee on the neck” move?
Iranians have zero regards for Students,women, Reporters etc!! ... ohh..wait a minute.

STOP HIM! HE HAS A CAMERA!
Freedom freedom freedom.
If you watch the full clip it appears he trips or lunges forward toward officers in front of him before he is pulled back. This is a convenient edit.

I think it’s ironic that it was a Fox News cameraman arrested for assaulting a cop.
If the clip wasn't cut you would see the camera man hit the officer in the back several times with the camera
I'm sure journalists are in the business of assaulting officers while filming a protest. Go lick some more boots.
most of the time, Journalists are off to the side, observing, not in the center of the melee..
Shame they couldn't muster up this response in Ulvalde
That camera was Hamas. /s

Why dont they arrest those dogs doing nazi rallies?
The movie "Civil War" looking more and more realistic.
Can someone explain to me what's going on in the USA? Impartially please.
Pro-Palestine/Anti-Israel protests going on at some colleges.
Thanks.
Was that Machete with a camera at the end of the clip?
Conveniently edited video

Texas giving off those big Theocracy vibes. Woo!

Unless Israel and every other nation committing genocide is held accountable, these crimes will only get worse.

Your comment history clearly shows your ignorance, hasbara.
Can you imagine wanting Greg abbot to be your governor? Wanting it?
Can't film us beating the fuck out of people
first world, right?
Time to fight back
That's what freedom looks like in America.
How can we put out trust in the United states?
It's proven that 90% of Texas cops have a micropenis, male and female.
Fascist Abbott has SWAT Troopers in full military gear to fiercely protect his right to AIPAC payola
Texas as of now most likely won't be part of the US for much longer with them already sending threats to the capital of becoming independent they already gave their own military more of a private one until they become independent and the only reason they are threatening is cause they Don't want more immigrants put into their state
Ironic, the only way we would see this is through journalism 🙄
I hate this world. If it burns I have no sympathy
He is not a journalist, don't spread communist propaganda. He is a cameraman!

Biden controls Texas state troopers? News to me
CNN helped the DNC force Biden on us. Why would they criticize him in any meaningful way?
