Bass should directly stop these out-of-control officers. She has ample reasons to charge these officers with excessive force. This is bullshit.

Coke is a hell of a drug

Out of emotional control police. Assassin grade cop

Officer Snowflake needs to sit in a corner and think about how he talks to people. When he can say, ‘Sorry’ he can come back out to play.

Whoops, Lauren Tomasi. Lauren Day was "only" hit with teargas.

"but he kindly resisted from hitting me" 🤦🏻‍♀️

ACAB

It’s like when they yell “Stop resisting” to people they’re manhandling.

His helmet says “Perez.” He needs consequences.

Using tear gas, smoke bombs, long range rifles, and men on horses as crowd control is archaic, stupid, and no it doesn't work of control of anything and only makes people angrier.

These pigs get too much unwanted power.

I have Who Touched Who going through my head to AC/DC and I'm not even embarrassed

Time go go Bobby Hill on the cops

👏👏👍

I’m surprised they didn’t get him with a rubber bullet.

What passes for "law enforcement" in the US boggles the mind. Pushing people doing their jobs, arresting and handcuffing very old men because they disagree with the dictator. Things are only going to get worse. The US is officially screwed

The masked police officer's rough behavior is totally uncalled for! Do they purposely hire bullies???

We need to stop giving sociopaths guns and power. I mean what the fuck people. What are we doing here? Let’s stop this shit already. So tired of waiting,

And Trump is crying about his failed Parade 🚩 😭

Matt really kept him cool but was hot at the same time

Overgrown toddlers with guns

The cops touched themselves and lashed out at peaceful protesters.

Has that goon been drug tested? 😲

Video shows it. The vast majority of the LA protests were peaceful. Glad ABC cameras were rolling. Reporter handled de-escalating the situation well! LAPD & PDs from other areas need to do better whether it’s rotating officers from different areas or more training in crowd control.

The gump.

@governor.ca.gov your police officers are out of control. I do believe you need to address this.

Absolutely! Community policing is a good thing.

The wannabe machoman PUSHED Mr Gutman first

Sad and shameful.

Well regulated militia, my eye!

$10 says that LAPD officer has smacked around several women.

It looks like he instinctually and gently gripped the cops arm when he was forcibly shoved him off his balance.

This is what a professional is.

Important to see this thuggery on TV even if this is a reporter for disgraced ABC (which fired Terry Moran). Imagine what they do to ordinary people who lack camera backup. Did they preselect these cops for brutality the way they do audience members for political leanings? Can't trust any of them.

In Germany we say "Polizeiproblem" and I think it's terrible

Nothing burger - LDE unnecessary chaos

A new job, at least. Maybe one where he can just be in an enclosure and play with little kittens until his blood pressure comes down some?

I'm thinking more a well-aimed toe up the arse.

Alright, he seriously needs a hi-vis vest with Press on it, front & back. Just an air pod & camera man won’t save him from getting hassled. They’ll pretend they didn’t know he was press & wont “correct” it till he’s at the precinct.

The average starting salary for LAPD is around 90k… that dude didn’t look like a rookie… I bet he’s making in the 6 figures to be a dick with anger issues www.joinlapd.com/salary-and-b...

Though this is the LAPD, I bet this is the type of stuff they include in the "400% increase in assaults of ICE agents" that the White House keeps citing. Some reporter should FOIA that information to see what is included.

Cop assaults reporter. Qualified Immunity puts cop above the law. Cop will report reporter for assaulting cop, despite the video evidence to the contrary. Judicial system will shield fragile cop. The police badge is the single most effective "Get Out of Jail Free" Card in world history.

This officer needs to be fired.

Great question !

Maybe they’re maga?

Pressure to comply with National Guard and the Marines. High temperatures (90+). NG & Marines sleep on the ground without any bedding, given the worst MRE’s. Everyone is tired and stressed. Non-protesters are committing delinquent actions, and bad decisions by commanders who can’t de-escalate.

Hot heads! That's how the problems start!

He was trying to balance himself after he got shoved, while complying I would add!

He needs to be fired and charged! The officer assaulted him at least three times that I saw.

That is the same thing

Stay away from 🇺🇸 usa

I’ve lived here all my life. This is LAPD in situations like this AND when it’s one on one on a traffic stop. Granted now all LAPD are like this. But way more than they should be.

That's an easy question to answer.

The officer should be disciplined

That cop probably went and found someone who wasn't on live television.

#trump has embolden them. “They r Good people” 🙃

#mattGutman hero for just covering this charade. #abcNews so weak they gonna fire him too.

The LAPD is such trash. They always instigate and escalate.

Some one needs a time out!!!!! And some mental health evaluation services.

It’s completely normal for far too many in law enforcement.

That's par for the course for cops. They escalate quickly because they aren't trained.

This cop is on something or he is so unstable that he should not be trusted with any weapon of any sort. Get this officer some help.

Rabid dogs.

Learn the art of smiling fuck yous.

Not the same officer—I’ve replayed it a dozen times—different body build the yellow ribbon isn’t on his uniform.

If only the Republican Party could figure that out about Trump.

Please, no.

It’s a sad situation with no easy resolution

“To Protect and Serve”

Kudos to the reporter ! Well done.

Right. Worst thing he could have done at that moment. Why don't YOU ask for their ID? I thought not.

Oh I do agree. I'm not suggesting that it is just roid rage. You are correct. He is probably a sociopathic, misogynistic, bully boy, racist, control freak...who likes the roids!! Also known as Proud Boy.

No, he's obviously _had_ a big dose of his daily roids.

Desk duty for sure.

This

100%. Psycho on the loose...makes us all feel safe and cosy.

He was giving them way too much grace.

Definitely I see he was trying to deescalate. I meant cop maturity level = toddler.

knock-la.com/tradition-of...

😏

They’re not cops😂😂😂😂😂😂

These to me seems more indicative of the press no longer receiving special privileges as the administration attempts to bury the 1st Amendment.--LAPD or otherwise.

So when does ABC give money to taco boy for this incident?

Do the police know that their authority over citizens is waning? In the next election will Republican governments start disappearing and the protection offered under them fade away? Animals become vicious when cornered.

What is he, like 5 years old? ‘He touched me’

Now watch ABC fire the reporter. MSM is complicit.

This is the problem with US police. Police departments hire idiots and don’t train them properly. @chrislhayes.bsky.social @chriscillizza.bsky.social

They were just itching for a fight.

These cops are criminals

That attitude the cop displays is indicative of what's wrong with police in America. The level of anger, indignation & righteousness was unjustified for what may or may not have been just a "touch". It would be almost comical if they didn't use that emotional dysregulation to justify killing folks.

LAPD is angry when ya don’t cower in fear. This reporter played it perfectly.

Yes, that's the leading one. ISTR there were others as well, but details escape me. All of them struck me as a thin veneer of bravery to slap over their institutional cowardice. I've known brave people. Bravery is not rage. Mr Rogers was 1000x braver than any of these cops.

You would be surprised how little de-escalation training most cops actually have. And much of the de-escalation training they actually get is taught by ex-law enforcement, not by clinical behavioral health experts.

Roid Rage!

They are just bullies, itching for a fight.
