Aussie reporter caught in crossfire of violent protests

A police officer was seen aiming his gun and firing at 9News' Lauren Tomasi as she reported from the front...

I’d argue this isn’t internal US news considering an international reporter was shot. TWO international reporters shot in a single day. I also wish so badly I could edit the title to more accurately reflect what happened. “Police shoot reporter in the back.”

    I’ll keep repeating this because I think it’s important

    Wear safety glasses

    Not sunglasses, or shades or prescription glasses

    Wear actual industrial rated workers safety glasses.

    If you get those shots in your face, you’re going to lose an eye or both eyes. Safety glasses are designed for this kind of stuff and they actually work. It will stop those projectiles from damaging your eyes.

    Cops all over the world are known to purposefully shoot people’s faces and heads. After the fact they will just argue that it didn’t happen, it was accidental, it was chaotic, it was dangerous, etc, etc … it won’t matter after the fact if you lose an eye or end up completely blind.

    Wear safety glasses, they’re easy to find and easy to use.

      A good idea, but safety glasses will only protect you from shrapnel, not slugs to the face.

        If they’re firing slugs that can break through industry rated safety glasses … those same slugs can break through your skull.

        If they’re using munitions like that … then they’re using lethal rounds and no safety glasses will help.
