ICE Gestapo teargas a peaceful woman who was simply waving American flag

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation.
TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag.

This is happening in and around LA. God save us all.

1. "This is not the America we know!"

Holy shit this is gonna be a week! Not sure what I'm going to do on no faux-king kings day but something, no matter how small.

2. Title lies. It was the guy with the shield who attracted the gas and got gassed. Woman had moved away

ICE Gestapo teargas a peaceful woman who was simply waving American flag

The video shows that is not true. Watch the video, 45 seconds total. Midway a guy with a shield moves in between and gets much closer to the guard. The woman is smart and realizes shield guy is not helping her so she moves out of the scene. No surprise that shield guy attracts attention and gets gas lobbed his way.

3. Bernardo...No, the tear gas 'cloud' was forcing the woman to move, then another canister

PLEASE BERNARDO… Stop with claiming things that video shows is true.


The woman is waving her flag.
The tear gas is shown initially a little distance away from the woman,
Then the tear gas keeps getting closer and closer,
Then the tear gas clouds closes in on the woman
The woman is forced by tear gas to start moving away,
Then immediately another person is also fleeing the clouds of tear gas,
And ANOTHER tear gas can is seen tumbling right towards the exact spot the woman was just standing at, but she had just moved away moments before

7. 0:29 Shield guy. 0:35 Flag woman moves out of scene. 0:39 gas grenade aimed directly at shield guy

The gas was drifting but not particularly approaching her. It had been drifting before shield guy inserted himself into the situation. The tear gas can was aimed at shield guy.

0:29 Shield guy moves in.
0:35 Flag woman moves out.
0:39 Gas grenade comes in aimed directly at shield guy, going a foot to his right.

Stop with claiming things that video shows is true.

I am claiming things the video shows are true. It would be nonsensical to claim things the video shows are not true. I am not nonsensical.

10. Bernardo PLEASE stop misleading. Video is VERY CLEAR that teargas forced woman

BERNARDO,

PLEASE STOP MISLEADING

WATCH THE VIDEO.
Everyone can watch the video too.

That man, simply attempted to kick that tear gas canister away,
That was in front on that woman,
Away so it’s tear gas would not bother the people, including the woman



I have noticed you many times before do this same thing,

Stop misleading

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Nothing I wrote was misleading or wrong. The OP title is misleading. She wasn't even in the scene when the grenade comes

The BlueSky post writes:

police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag.

which is incorrect. This is what you rephrased as the OP headline. It is false and therefore misleading. She was not in the scene but the gas grenade was clearly aimed at shield guy. That gas was drifting does not mean gas was aimed at her. She may have even moved into position with the drifting gas before the video starts.

There is enough authoritarian abuse committed by the orange regime to call out without straining to push little narratives that don't show what the title claims.

The real issue here is that there is no need for tear gas to be on scene when there is so little happening.

13. Stop, misleading, Tear Gas was starting to surround woman

Tear gas clouds are drifting in front of all those people that can be seen,
Although there were few people visible in this video clip,

The woman waving her flag has clouds of tear gas expanding and drifting towards her, and also tear gas clouds are expanding because of multiple
canisters

Yes, one canister is seen clearly seen at end of video tumbling
directly towards whoever is recording this video, and that canister ends up exactly where that woman was just moments before was standing

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Again: That gas was drifting does not mean gas was aimed at her. . . . nt

[Silent Type]

5. Yeah, I don't think the woman was the target. There was a lot going on to side and behind lady. With that said,

I get/support the protests.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

11. Yes, that's what I saw, too

[JoseBalow]

15. You are correct

They are clearly targeting the shield guy who is trying to kick the live canisters away back towards the pigs, after the flag lady moves away.

[Dave Bowman]

4. Not enough swastikas on that flag, probably.

[Dawson Leery]

6. ICE Gestapo: worthless scum.

More protesters should carry or wear the American flag to remind the fascist police that they are fighting with US citizens.

9. How to interpret who was gassed and why

Non-violent protesters were gassed for exercising previously protected right to assemble.
