Police Shooting Journalists at LA Protests
Multiple journalists and reporters have been shot with rubber bullets by police officers during the protests in Los Angeles this week, with at least one requiring an emergency surgery following the shot. These are supposed to be “non lethal” methods to contain people, but the officers are using the weapons in the wrong way, and that’s now leading to serious injuries.
IMO, the reason this happens at protests all over American is because most cops are RIGHT WING BULLIES who hate journalist for reporting their abuse to the public.
Award-winning civil rights lawyer and author Alec Karakatsanis joins me to discuss his phenomenal new book, Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News, and to break down all the ways that our news ecosystem is polluted with pro-police PR.
Copaganda shapes literally every form of media in the U.S. and warps our perceptions of safety and justice. Alec reveals how these fear-driven narratives are fueling the rise of authoritarian policies, mass incarceration, and deepening inequality.
