Australian Reporter Struck During LA Protests
Los Angeles — Peaceful marches against immigration raids turned chaotic Sunday night as police clashed with protesters downtown.
An Australian TV reporter was hit by a rubber bullet live on air. Though she wasn’t seriously hurt and kept reporting, the viral moment has sparked global concern over police tactics and journalist safety.
Thousands had rallied earlier chanting “No Human is Illegal,” but tensions flared after objects were thrown, leading police to fire tear gas and rubber bullets. Press groups condemned the violence, warning that reporters should never be treated as targets.
