Police officers at Louisville protest fired 'pepper bullets' at a TV news crew during a live TV broadcast
A police officer in riot gear shot pepper bullets directly at a local news reporter and television crew while filming a live segment of a George Floyd protest that erupted in Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday night.
Shortly afterward, the police officer directly points the pepper gun at the cameraman, who appears also to be hit. When asked"Who are they aiming that at?", Rust responds:"At us, like directly at us." It was reported that the officer was firing rubber bullets, but Jessie Halladay of the Louisville Metro Police Department told WAVE 3 that LMPD officers do not use rubber bullets.
The demonstrations have been turning increasingly violent as some protesters started looting shops, lighting cars on fire, and battling with police.
