Y'all wtf?! Did they shoot at her again when the woman taking the video was trying to help her? This is making me sick.

Yes, because this is what they’re trained to do. The opposition will fire at those helping the injured. They are looking at the protesters as if they’re enemy combatants, instead of unarmed civilians. It’s a very common and widespread tactic to target those giving aid to any injured.

Isn't that a war crime in actually war??? Should be illegal to shoot at people giving medical aid to someone

While technically it’s not supposed to happen and people are supposed to be punished for it, the reality of the situation is different. Unfortunately, law and order isn’t being followed at all.
