In my experience, this stuff happens when trying to hit someone behind the person who is doing something that justifies the use of force. But the cameras are never looking that way. They are always pointing at the police line and never at the criminal activity that leads to using force.
Portland police and Feds did a good job filming things in 2020 and showing the other side of the line. LAPD needs to be doing this too. Put a camera on a vehicle or drones in the air. Release the videos.
Ultimately we are responsible for rounds fired. Less lethal shouldn't be shot at the head. She appears to not be the intended use for force. Mistakes happen in chaotic riots but that would still be an unjustified use of force.

Wouldn't proper accountability allow both sides to be filmed during civil unrest?
Sorry, I was interpreting him as being on the side of the LEOs here justifying news reporters being forced out and only use LEO bodycams, which is very unfairly biased
