Australian journalist appeared on Live TV during Trump's performance on Trump's Immigration Red in Los Angeles

Los Angeles – Lauren Tomasi, a female journalist from Australia, was shot at a rubber during a major protest marches during a major protests that arose over the immigration attack in the US. The incident occurred when this Channel Nine News reporter was captured between the protesters and the Riot Control police, covering the protests in the streets of Los Angeles. Rubber bullets and other non-lethal weapons are used by police to control the riot. Meanwhile, a rubber bullet went straight into the Dy of Lauren Tomasi. He immediately grabs his thigh as he moans with pain. When the cameraman who presented him asked him if he was doing well, he replied, “Yes, I’m fine, I’m fine,” and then move to safety. The start and background of the protest march began on Friday when Ice (immigration and customs handling) did a sudden attack on fashion district, Home Depot and a clothes -wholer. More than 100 people were detained during these attacks, causing angry people to start protests. Initially, these protests, which were peaceful, became fierce by Sunday. The protesters set fire to police vehicles, used flash grenade, paper spray and fireworks. A direct battle between the police and the protesters was seen in several places. To bring the deployment of the national guard under control, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 soldiers of the national guard. The order was given without the consent of the Governor of California, which is the first time since 1967. Governor Gavin Noseum described the move as ‘illegal’ and ‘provocative’. He said it is a violation of the sovereignty of the state and that it can increase violence. At the same time, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bais also questioned the validity of this decision and called on the people to maintain peace.

He also warned that if the violence continued, he could also deploy active duty soldiers. Brand and arrests on the roads in downtown Los Angeles, paramount and protesters in competition collided with highway blocks, vehicles and armed police. Police had to use tear gas, ISP (Immigration Special Force) and other strategies. More than 30 protesters were arrested on Saturday, three of which were detained on the suspicion that they had attacked a police officer. Many people were injured. The incident questions the safety of journalists with Lauren Tomasi, and raises the question of how much the press’s freedom and the safety of journalists are at risk in these fierce protests. During the reporting, the bullet shows them that the use of the police was not limited to the protesters. The incident is another link after attack on journalists in the US, already seen during the opposition of Black Live Matter Movement and Kovid Lockdown. Political confrontation and national debate This protest is no longer just the immigration issue, but it has become the center of the right of federal and state government to the right and peaceful protests. ACLU (American Civil Liberty Union) and the Democrats in California described President Trump’s movement as dictatorship. He says that it is not only an attempt to suppress a peaceful achievement, but also a violation of constitutional rights. At the same time, Trump supporters consider this step needed for public safety. The situation in Los Angeles is still tense. Although attempts are made to bring the situation under control due to the deployment of the police and national guards, there is a conflict between the local administration and the federal government. This incident once again showed that the debate on immigration and protest rights in the US is not yet over. In the coming days, this matter may take even more political turn, especially if preparations for the next presidential election began. The rubber bullet during direct reporting to Lauren Tomasi symbolizes that the voice is not easy – nor for the protesters or for journalists they cover. And when the power of power comes under the circle of questions in the name of law and order, the actual test of a democracy begins there. Will this step really lead to peace, or will the US push to deep polarization? This question is not only America, but for the whole world, not just America.
