A press rejecting on the sidelines of the demonstrations in Los Angeles can currently be dangerous: two incidents are already known in which police officers have suddenly dismissed press representatives. A reporter was the target during a live switch – and a photographer even had to be operated on.
The journalist Lauren Tomasi is in the broadcast for the Australian broadcaster 9News in the American metropolis when it suddenly hits her. Sub -shuffs later you can see how a policeman aim it without any clear threat situation and shoots at them.
Tomasi screams loudly and runs away (see tweet below). A supporter calls the policeman: “You just shot a reporter, your shit!” The journalists are received by passers -by – by explaining that they are touching their legs – but is unharmed. What her broadcaster has confirmed now.
A British press photographer was less lucky: according to the British news agency PA Press, he had to come forward. Nick Stern observed a confrontation between demonstrators and the police in Paramount on Saturday, a district of Los Angeles inhabited by immigrants from Latin -America.
Suddenly a “sponge floor” of 14 millimeters in his thigh, the desk reported. He is currently recovering from the operation. “I walked around and took photos and was undisturbed until about 9 p.m. .. I just walked over the street when I felt a serious pain in my leg. I put my hand on the floor and felt a lump that stuck out of my leg,” he described the situation in the direction of the “Guardian”.
Photographer reports from horror scenes
Stern believes that he was probably hit by a “non -Fatal bullet” that the police officers used together with glossy grenades to control the crowd.
“People came to help and put me on the sidewalk. A paramedic was called to cut my clothes. In my leg there was a five -centimeter hole in my leg and my whole leg was full of blood. The paramedic set up a pressure bandage and a journalist with whom I traveled brought me into first aid.”
Protests against the deportation policy of the US government have been formed in the metropolis on the west coast of the US. The Migration Authority Ice has been affected since Donald Trump – sometimes illegally – against foreigners in the United States. President Trump now ordered the use of the National Guard and a mobilization of the regular army, which further heated the protests.
“Everyone has the right to collect peacefully and to observe their rights after the first constitutional additive, but when the limit is exceeded and other people are attacked, violence or destroyed ownership are used, we must intervene as an authority, warn people and possibly arrest,” said Sheriff Robert Luna.
“Officials will defend themselves. I don’t believe that someone expects our help threads to tolerate stones and bottles against themselves without defending themselves.”
State of emergency in Los Angeles:
Several hundred national guards commented on government buildings to protect them. Trump’s intervention is historically and accepted against the will of the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom. The reserve troops are actually subject to the command of the States. The Democrat described his order as illegal. He accused the Republican of deliberately organizing a crisis and the violation of conflicting sovereignty. “These are the actions of a dictator, not a president,” wrote Newsoma on X.
Newsom calls for an exemption from violence
On Sunday the third day in a row came to protests in Los Angeles where violence always broke out. The number of participants varied from a few tens to a few hundred people in recent days. According to their own statements, the police were thrown on objects. Vehicles were lit, streets were blocked. The FBI offered a reward of $ 50,000 for instructions from a suspect who reportedly thrown stones on police vehicles and wounded a federal officer.
Newsom called the citizens for the distance of violence. You should not give Trump the “spectacle” on which he speculates. The Republican has declared the fight against illegal immigration a central focus of his presidency – and promised the largest deportation campaign in history and strict controls on the border with Mexico.
Ice has given the White House the aim of arresting at least 3000 migrants per day. The massive access to immigrants has also led people to be affected who are legally in the country, including some with permanent right to live.
