I wish so badly I could edit the title to more accurately reflect what happened. “Police shoot reporter in the back.”

You can see the cop aims low. His intent was to harass and drive away. A real chud.
There have been cases of reporters getting hit with plastic or less-lethal rounds in the head… With a helmet on… And being brain damaged for life.
The reporter must be made of steel because she laughs it off but those rounds can blind or break bones.
She’s laughing it off because she is relatively young, in good shape, has media training… and is in all likelihood currently in shock, flooded with adrenaline.
Within 6 hours she will have a bruise the diameter of a soccer ball, and she almost certainly has a or multiple fractured bones, though they are likely hairline, fissure or impacted partial fractures, not complete breaks.
EDIT: Reporter must be made of steel you say?
She’s also working for a right leaning network.
Ah, I missed that, my default human empathy response still generally doesn’t like seeing people shot for no good reason.
