The Associated Press
As WAVE-TV was on air, reporter Kaitlin Rust is heard yelling off-camera: “I've been shot! I've been shot!" Video shows a police officer aiming directly at the camera crew, as Rust describes the projectiles as “pepper bullets.” The video shows Rust and the camera crew moving away as indignant in-studio anchors ask if they're OK and what's going on. Rust tells them they're OK, and that the crew was behind the line, but police wanted them to move further away.
Louisville's protests followed the release of a 911 call Taylor's boyfriend made March 13, moments after the 26-year-old EMT was shot eight times by narcotics detectives who knocked down her front door. No drugs were found in her home.
Not Good Enough! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE NO JUSTICE NO PEACE NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
We insist you find the officer involved - this was not an accident- no one else was near them. He shot, reloaded and shot again. Maybe following the advice from Trump. Media aren’t the problem here. The was blatantly purposeful !
LMPD must identify and fire the punk ASAP
There’s a lot more to apologize for don’t you think? That crew should press charges. This isn’t an “oops moment”
Damage is done
Louisville PD: “if we need to do any investigation for discipline, we will do that.” America: “IF”? Are you for real?
Oh, okay, that makes it better, just a simple mistake!
People are destroying their communities. This is not respecting those people and their families this is disrespect. Nothing but hate has nothing to do with race.
I grew up in Louisville and this is not the city I know. These are no longer protests and standing up for people wrongly killed by police. These are riots, looting, and destruction of personal property. It has to stop here and in all the cities across the country
No Need to apologize
Bull. That cop knew exactly what he was doing
People are rioting and looting in cities mismanaged by corrupt democrat mayors who have used the police to surpress and kill minorities. Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, NYC, DC, etc are all run my democrat mayors and the people are now revolting against the democrat party.
No one cares about these riots anymore. That’s what these thugs created...we just don’t care anymore. Go ahead & destroy your own cities, morons.
LMPD can just add this to their long list of apologies owed at this point.
They should apologise they're only doing their job
His helmet said L6 does that help. He has lost the confidence of the American people and should be relieved of duty immediately. No more bad cops
The police have been infiltrated by white supremist and they can’t wait to become the Gustapo.
Her mission accomplished for Jihad - Ilhan Omar makes Minnesota look like Somalia
the shedding of b
Oh they’re sorry? I bet they are. Fuckers.
'Oh, ok... no problem then.'
karma
Only cause they got caught
That is not an apology. How dare you describe it as one.
Another oh I’m sorry, cop gets 10000 write ups and never fired
Because they wanted to or because they were told to? Massive difference.
You were following Trump’s instructions. Thousands of folks being unruly and you target a news crew filming ? Ok
Oops, we forget we're on film...sorrynotsorry. gtfoh.
Weak liberal democrat leadership. In Minneapolis, woman found dead in a car during thug riot. According to police, the woman appeared to be in her 30s with “trauma visible” on her body, which was in the back seat. The car was in the area of the riots, in the middle of the street.
It's 2020 and you are still on your knees begging for justice & equality from a people who has never known accountability for their immoral behavior, read Black Truth White Fear, and Don't Drink The Water' both by Moses smith Amazon eBook, it's time to stand up now
they did it yesterday, LIVE on CNN. small hint on the correspondent’s skin color. 🙄
Nope that’s assault please press charges
And they can put that apology where the sun don't shine asshats.
I'm sure the guy who opened fire without a word while knowing he was on camera the entire time is sincerely apologetic.
.Fake News is not real news...
They're sorry they got caught. They would do worse than what those cops in Minneapolis did in a heartbeat. People haven't learned their lesson & Cornel West was right 'The system can't reform itself'
It's all about us, Day 3
Why apologize for stopping fake news?
Too late.
Is an apology enough?
This should read, 'Former Louisville police officer...
Don’t.... MSM us 24/7 hate and division
Imagine the social change if every young adult began receiving a basic income of $2k month on their 18th birthday local spendjng support of small biz. All it takes a 7% tax on stock trading and consumer sales in a $20 trillion yearly economy
Nope, Sorry LouisvillePD. I saw that MAGA hat on the police dolt spraying pepper bullets at the news crew. Apology not accepted.
The police are out of control
Because they got caught doing it
You feel that. It’s the slow normalization of the free press being targeted by police. It’s the slow comeuppance of the “leader” of this country chanting “the press is the enemy of the people” enough times that it’s becoming a real tangible thing in action. America is dying.
Damn at 3:00 in the morning?
How about apologizing for decades of wrongfully targeting black folks?
It's Trump's world
“Whoops, our bad” is not a defense
The greatest country on earth....
Even if some of the violent protests taken place in the USA are morally controversial, it is questionable whether the American Police and have enough moral legitimacy of their own to condemn the protesters. After all, they are perceived by many as being the largest terrorist
The police is apologizing for doing their job. What a time to be alive 😩
They apologize for shooting yet?👀
They should apologize to Breonna Taylor
Apologies aren’t good enough. They’re exposing themselves to the world as the domestic terrorists they are.
BULL$HIT!!!
Reporters should not be given special privileges to be in special locations in times such as this. ANYONE can dress up with a microphone and have someone with a camera and instead actually be a horrific threat
We are not children , sorry don't solve all problems !!!!
They apologized so it’s all good. We can do the same to them, right?
They are ruthless look 😱😱😱👇
WOW! It's your turn!
To late I think they are all past your excuses and apologies
Yeah well 🖕🏿
This is the second news crew who have been targeted that I know of what is wrong here someone please explain to me why police are targeting reporters and journalists?
Whoops.
When is the Minneapolis PD going to apologize for killing one of its citizens?
Is that right🤨
ICallThisBS
“Apologizes for targeting news crews...” WHAT THE FCK ABOUT TARGETING EVERYBODY ELSE.!?
Stop apologizing and start Giving out wood shampoos
Oh look the police are sorry for terrorizing American citizens.
I hope CNN sues regardless.
Shouldn't of gotten so close
4 parts in thread. Turn phone sideways for easy reading. Thanks for your time.
“Sorry” doesn’t sweeten my tea, fuckers!
