projectiles just do that. outta nowhere, you just get hit. no further understanding of this issue is possible

That "Gaza child hit by projectile" thing is coming home

but you’d be forgiven if you assumed it was LAPD given the sheer number of times they’ve blinded protesters by firing “less than lethals” as headshots

"observing" so not even a protestor. just someone who got in the way of fascist crossfire

that's the part that's always left out - the why

Adding "Lawyer says" at the end there to weaken the statement further.

New York Times should grow a backbone on these.  If stating the facts sounds biased, the situation is simply biased, and it should be reported as is.

Sources say: inconclusive

"Immaculate projectile"?

You mean it was some of God's semen fired into the eyes of a protester? I guess that is a more plausible explanation than it being fired by a federal agent.

So they can't even state he lost an eye, only that his lawyer claims he had. The future of MSM in one headline.

Commented about this phenomenon once and got lectured by a member of the media who informed me that they have to right like that so as not to bias future legal proceedings.

Which.. okay, but if the courts are the only place where we can say what actually happened, that does not seem good.

Sometimes it is out of pressure of others, or out of the desire to sound impartial, when the situation is so horribly slanted that simply stating the facts makes you sound partial, because the facts are clearly putting blame on one side.

Stealing "immaculate projectile." Unfortunately I am sure there will be many opportunities to make use of this perfect phrase.

Linda Tirado is in hospice. These injuries can become lethal.

I'm genuinely shocked they're not accusing the student of stealing government property by intercepting and 'hijacking' the projectile.

Anyone just reading the headline would obviously assume the projectile came from some reckless No Kings protestor of course.

We usually see LAPD go into "attack civilians including any so-called press" mode in downtown when DHS thugs call on them to protect their feelings fence surrounding the Metro Detention Center.

"The cops could have killed the kid, but they only blinded him. And in one eye, not both. Praise to the brave and restraint policeman"

wonder where they might have learned such tactics
