Australian reporter covering Los Angeles immigration protests hit by rubber bullet on live TV - eviltoast
Lauren Tomasi, a 9News correspondent, was reporting live when an officer behind her suddenly raised their firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range.

Since I keep having to remove the video posts, here’s an actual article on it:

    Simple, videos are unvetted, from unknown sources, and can contain jankey spammish monetization.

    Rather than go item by item and saying “this video is OK, this one isn’t” we have an established rule of “no videos”.

        Well, think of it like this, all the mods are volunteers here. We have actual paying jobs outside Lemmy and, you know, “lives” and stuff.

        We don’t have the time to watch every video, read every Twitter post, or every Blogsite to go “Yeah, that’s OK” or “No, that one’s bullshit.”

        So, yeah, we set up catch all rules. No videos, no social media, no blog sites.
