Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things
Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things
It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

That is fucking nuts. If you have 50 police officers you do not need to shoot a woman who is VERY clearly not a fucking threat. Holy shit they treated her like she was carrying
My european brain could not handle why this would be the way to treat a pregnant person until I realized, that this might be about a weapon instead of a child.
The context might make this obvious for people who are more used to guns than babies, but I was very confused.
My Canadian brain was in the same boat. I had to wonder if it was an joke about cops shooting pregnant people that I wasn't american enough to understand.
So it IS a cultural misunderstanding. Nice to know, that I am not the only one confused. 😃
They kept shooting at her even when she was limping away crying and someone trying to help her. So being a threat I think was the least of their concerns. Seems more like they were enjoying target practice.
