Closest headline that I’ve seen explaining what actually appears to be happening.
More accurate might be intentionally trampling protesters with horses, shooting with (hopefully) rubber bullets at close range, and beating with clubs
I think this is the same woman:

Apparently those videos are from yesterday! I’m seeing news reports about protestors setting cars on fire/agitators, but why is nobody reporting this? They shot that lady in the fucking head!
Our city was peaceful before ICE showed up at home depots that were also perfectly peaceful. I’ve been to that home depot a couple dozen times, I never once had a problem. It wasn’t unsafe, it was perfectly fine, including the people looking for work. Trump is causing this, not helping anything.
This video is fucking insane: https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1l74ji0/i_hope_she_survives_this_and_got_medical_attention/
Holy… Fucking scum.
The cop point blank shot her in the head, which is against policy, and probably gave her brain damage then the horse trampled her.
I hope she survives as she got some serious brain trauma there between the two assholes.
This is enraging. I can’t wait for the apocalypse when I can seek out that cop and bleed them dry.
Can’t watch without installing the Reddit app 👎
I don’t have the app, but I do still use my browser account bc it can be helpful still to find stuff like this.
Here is one of the only news stories about it as of yesterday even though it happened 2 days ago

Horses simply dont belong at a protest.
You mean they respected noncombatants, the rules of engagement, and proportional response? No? They violated all of those? Then they were worse than a military response.

They knew in November 2024 that a second Trump term would result in a police state, yet millions either chose to vote for the orange fuckhead or stayed home. So they’re getting exactly what they wanted.
The people that are protesting probably didn’t stay home or vote for Trump.

Decades of voter suppression + conservative propaganda + social media manipulation + never fucking holding any conservatives accountable leads to a vote where the absolute worst people are against those who haven’t completely given up hope on society but were still allowed to vote.
Like watching Trump be forced onto state ballots despite trying to overthrow an election was soul crushing. Forcing myself to vote for Harris and pretend it meant anything positive was painful, it was just a futile attempt to not be exactly where we are today.
Notice how there was absolutely zero follow up on the votes in the areas where the election deniers were running things? Notice how Trump didn’t get even the slightest slap on the write from 34 felonies? That is why he won, because the entire system is absolutely broken and the Dems as a party have no interest in fixing anything. Sure, a few have spines, but the majority want to play nice with 21st century fascists as if taking the high road ever solved anything.
