Monday, June 16, 2025

An LAPD officer went absolutely ballistic on an ABC News reporter covering protests in Los Angeles Saturday night -- accusing him of making aggressive contact with an officer. The shocking confrontation played out in real time during ABC News Live's coverage on Saturday. In footage which quickly made the rounds on social media, the officer was seen shoving ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman. Gutman alerted the officer that the broadcast was going out live. "You're pushing me on live television," Gutman said.

What do expect when Doe 174 keeps referring to the press as the enemy of the people?

STOCHASTIC TERRORISM Is the term you are looking for, REIN.

Lets make the term go viral.

Life is so hard for the handsome. As for the cop, glad he was wearing a mask, so none of his co-workers will be able to identify him to their superiors. He might even be one of those Antifa cosplayers, or even a Kristi Noem plant. Or even Kristi Noem herself, trying to get a taste of a newscaster...

LA police sure are doing everything they can to maintain the LA police sterotype. It's a gang, not a police department.

Standing out in the heat in full uniform, vest, gloves, bucket, gasmask, etc sure does wear on the already fragile temper of the police.

"Hey, Private! Watch me pick off one of them colored folks with my .45!"

"Yes, Sir! Being in the Army National Guard here in California like the way Dan Quayle joined in Indiana sure beats getting drafted for Viet Nam, Sir!"

"---- right, Private! Shooting unarmed c***s in Watts is a lot better than armed g***ks shooting back at us in Viet Nam! Now, where did that commie pinko agitator run to?"

It was a mostly peaceful shove but if the reporter was interfering with the cop he should have been arrested for obstructing justice.
