She's surprisingly upbeat in all of her tweets. Seems like a cool person. Sad that this happened to her.

Be careful out there.

It seems she also has audio of herself getting shot. Twitter is saying she should sue the police department because they didn't have authorization to fire. Not sure that's true.

Asshole Cops in the US are incapable of actually aiming.

In fact up until recently, most police departments and the FBI used .40S&W purely because the FBI thought in hindsight that more stopping power was the solution to poor marksmanship.

Good luck with that. Can barely get cops prosecuted when they murder people on camera with a crowd watching.
yea i was gonna say, even it was painfully obvious who did it they'd find some way to protect him. There has to be a way she can sue the department though. Not only is she out of work for 6 weeks but as a photo journalist, permanent damage to her eye puts her career in jeopardy.

A girl from a college in my state died from being hit in the eye with a rubber bullet like 10-15 years ago or so. Wasn't even protesting. There were sports riots going on and she was in a group of people that was shot at.

If you're going to attend a mass protest in modern times you almost always need a set of goggles and helmets for this specific reason. Police know exactly what they are doing when they fire on people

Yeah, definitely Boston. I couldn't remember if it was when I was in college or after though, since there have been a bunch since 2001.

Oh? It's fucking awful and tragic either way but that just makes this even worse. I can only hope more people realize how you need to protect yourself if you're going to go to these things moving forward.

And if you're not press for god's sake cover your face and any identifying markers. I hate that I see so many protesters out there revealing themselves to the camera. Cover your shit up and don't keep your phone or ID on you. Go look at the Ferguson protest organizers who "happened" to turn up dead the last 5 years if you want a reason why

Point blank probably not, but not direct shots it could help. Police don't always have the best aim

The police are attacking random civilians, shooting at them or trying to run them over. Everyone be careful when leaving your homes there may be a pig around the corner.

Jfc that's horrifying. Seattle used a similar escalation tactic for the G8 summit, enrage the crowd further with this stuff so they can then pull out the big guns.
