(Global Times) At noon local time on Sunday, protesters clashed with National Guards soldiers in downtown Los Angeles, California. A Chinese journalist at the scene was struck in the left leg by a rubber bullet, resulting in swelling and bruising, according to Xinhua News Agency.

Xinhua reporters at the scene observed that during the conflict, National Guard soldiers fired tear gas and rubber bullets in an attempt to disperse the protesters. However, the number of protesters continued to grow, increasing from dozens initially to over 200. The protesters, agitated, loudly condemned the National Guard and police. Some threw water bottles and stones at the National Guard, while others picked up tear gas canisters and hurled them back.

A Xinhua journalist covering the event was hit in the arm by a tear gas canister, and a photojournalist was struck in the left leg by a rubber bullet, resulting in swelling and bruising.

The California National Guard 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) "has deployed approximately 300 soldiers to 3 separate locations in the greater Los Angeles area," the US Northern Command posted on X.

Governor Gavin Newsom's office reported on Sunday that about 300 of the promised 2,000 national guardsmen had deployed in the LA area, The Guardian said.

As we know, they persecuted Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning for exosing their flagrant war crimes atrocities.

During the illegal invasion of Iraq (based on lies about WMD), reporters had to be "embedded" (restricted in what they could see and report), otherwise they were murdered:

On April 8, 2003, three locations in Baghdad housing journalists were fired upon by U.S. armed forces during 2003 invasion of Iraq, killing three journalists and wounding four.

The poodle was also involved in that bombing. Reporters Without Borders held a conference to protest these war crimes.

Trump’s attacks on the press no longer just rhetorical with 30 incidents of violence against journalists documented in LA protests

The video of a Los Angeles police officer shooting a rubber bullet at Channel Nine reporter Lauren Tomasi is as shocking as it is revealing.

These are the tactics of the illegitimate state of New Izrael. During the ongoing genocide in Gaza, it has blocked access by all journalists. It has a long history of snipers shooting journalists in the head, just as it's been shooting kids in the head and heart.

This evil has to be exterminated.

The Great Satan thieved California from Mexico. It's no wonder there's been riots.

A female Down Yonder journalist got hit as well, however, she reckons she deserves it since she is in a war zone.

 I'm my opinion she should join the marines being deployed as we speak...

In my opinion, Down Yonder folks should bring their passports to any US embassy to stamp DUAL CITIZENSHIP...

Never worry, the marines got their marching order..

I'd advise Asians including Honkies which consider themselves non Chinese not to leave their shelters or else they might be used as illegal immigrants target practice.

This time round, they'll have to pay to get medical help..

 I consider it only fair and square after the organized riots in the SAR.

It's similar to a raft of journalists in the illegitimate state of New Izrael, except they get shot in the head with bullets.
