New York City police officers surrounded, shoved and yelled expletives at two Associated Press journalists covering protests Tuesday in the latest aggression against members of the media during a week of unrest around the country. The video shows more than a half-dozen officers confronting the journalists as they filmed and took photographs of police ordering protesters to leave the area near Fulton and Broadway shortly after an 8 p.m. curfew took effect. An officer, using an expletive, orders them to go home. Bumsted is heard on video explaining the press are considered essential workers and are allowed to be on the streets. An officer responds I dont give a shit. Another tells Bumsted get the fuck out of here you piece of shit. Bumsted and Wong said officers shoved them, separating them from each other and pushing them toward Bumsteds car, which was parked nearby. At one point Bumsted said he was pinned against his car. He is heard on video telling the officer that Wong has his keys and he needs them to leave the area. Officers then allowed Wong to approach and the two got in the vehicle and left. Both journalists were wearing AP identification and identified themselves as media. They didnt care, Wong said. They were just shoving me.

Yikes

Too bad all the 2nd Amendment stans won't come out and defend our 1st Amendment when we need them to. At least we have historical evidence they're all LARPers now.

LMFAO

Also this is pretty terrible, and it's just more proof of how unprepared and uneducated cops are. How could anybody with a head on their shoulders think this is a good idea

If Bill de Blasio had any semblance of a spine he'd call for the immediate termination of those two police officers and the immediate filing of charges against them, but we all know he doesn't and instead wants his people to RISE UP against the Looters but not the cops abusing them

It's why I say everyone else should start being 2A "stans" since we obviously can't rely on those hypocritical fascism lovers.

I don't disagree with you. Actually I was a little disappointed when 2nd Amendment trended on Twitter and it wasn't a call for the left to arm itself. The Walmart Gas Station Ar-15s are right there!

We have seen some accountability in all these protests.

The 6 cops that pulled, tased, beat, and pepper sprayed the 2 black college kids out of a car in ATL got fired and charged.

Tbh there's so much shit to wade through that it's going to take a long time to address all the abuses.

and the police unions would never allow immediate termination for things, even if a cop straight waltzed up to someone on 5th Avenue unprovoked and murdered someone with a point blank execution shot to the back of the head.

Cospatriotism is so much more palatable to these kinds of people than actual patriotism.

If a war kicked off right now, a lot of the 2A peeps would find every excuse not to go

Me too about that Twitter trend. Too bad a lot of people on the left are just so against or so afraid of guns or they just have a defeatist attitude and think trying to fight will never work.

If the left tried to fight back, it'd justify lethal force in the right's eyes and we'd see massacres.

Nobody wants that.

Now you can use this to clown the ever living fuck shit out of the 2Aers in the future.

I have to agree

Trump is already threatening to turn the military on US citizens and your response is "Liberals need to start protesting with everyone heavily armed!"

All it would do is result in massacres and government bombings of buildings

First amendment only matters if you support Trump

Shouting shit at the governor of a state for COVID-19 lockdown while holding an AR-15 to her head? That's good ole Murican freedom!

Shouting shit at a cop and he proceeds to come over there and beat the ever loving fuck out of you with 4 of his buddies despite you being unarmed? You shouldn't have mouthed off.

I don't want that either, but it looks like it's either going to be fight back or just give up and live under the boot. They already are justifying lethal force anyway. That's how the whole situation started.

Did they actually aim at her?

That's breaking like all the rules of gun ownership and pretty sure constitutes assault (in some states at least)
