An LAPD cop shot an apparent innocent bystander with a rubber bullet at point-blank range as she was trying to walk back to her house during the chaotic anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protests in Los Angeles.
Video posted on Monday to TikTok by a user identified as Alexandria showed a woman attempting to walk down her Los Angeles block but being stopped on the corner by a line of aggressive LAPD officers.
The woman stands about five yards from the officers, appearing to be attempting to explain something, as several of the high-strung cops yell at her to “Get out of here!”
“Watch, if they shoot her,” Alexandria, who was filming the encounter, said on camera.
A single shot then rings out and the woman immediately doubles over in pain.
Alexandria then dashed to the aid of the woman who was wearing shorts and whimpering in pain from the impact of the non-lethal round.
“F–k off, she’s not doing anything,” Alexandria yelled at cops, “We’re moving a–holes!”
Alexandria then leads the injured woman down the street away from cops, who continue to order the pair to move away.
“They’re gonna shoot,” Alexandria said to both the injured woman and another person who approached the injured woman to help.
“We’re moving! We’re moving! Stop! She’s injured,” Alexandria pleaded with the cops, who are seen on video moving slowly down the street in their direction.
“I live here,” the woman told Alexandria as the pair walked away.
It was not immediately clear where the woman was shot.
As the video ends, a large explosion is heard in the background, echoing through Los Angeles Monday night — which was filled with chaotic protests, car explosions, and tense standoffs between anti-ICE protesters and police.
The chaos continued the following nights, forcing Mayor Karen Bass to impose an 8 p.m. curfew on downtown due to increased vandalism and looting — despite calling President Trump’s activation of the National Guard a “chaotic escalation.”
A Post photographer and an Australian broadcast reporter were similarly shot with rubber bullets while covering the riots.
The ICE raids across Los Angeles County, which sparked the violent, riotous protests, successfully took a cornucopia of criminals off the street — including child molesters, murderers, and drug dealers.
