    Look, ACAB and all that, but after doing a lot of googling, I did finally find proof that that “Olga Fedorova” does in fact exist, and is a “journalist”, but being a nightcrawler for FreedomNewsTV doesn’t deserve the respect some of you seem to want to give her.

    A quick look at the website, and I think these cops attacked one of their allies.

      I don’t see how the outlet she represents is relevant at all. The cops shouldn’t be violently arresting peaceful protesters, and they should not be violently arresting people with press credentials for pointing their camera in what they consider to be the wrong direction.

      She has NYC press credentials, she’s press. It doesn’t matter that she’s not from your personal favourite newspaper.

      You mean like i would respect any fucking human being? Then screw her, a woman with a russian name and a camera is clearly not to be considered human, i would’ve shot her at first sight

      /s in case is missed

      This smells just as disingenuous as American politicians that want to cut off TikTok because they don’t like American citizens having a source of news they can’t control.

      From this video to TikTok to anything else, debate the facts all day long, but as soon as you allow people to be treated this way because you disagree with them, it’s literally the beginning of the collapse of society.

      Everyone is disagreed with by someone, so who will end up with human rights?

      Good. Maybe experiencing this kind of thing first hand will change her and her colleagues’ views.

      Edit: I hadn’t looked into the site, but I figured from the post above they were some right leaning rage bait site. I figure people like that seeing police brutality first hand wouldn’t be a horrible thing for the world. That said, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
