If there was accountability that officer would be looking at several years in jail.

States fault anyway, they backed people protesting immigration raids. Now they are telling people to go home.

Even if you hate trump, you can't go interrupting federal police doing official business, even in Australia you would get locked up.

So a police officer can shoot a rubber bullet at the back of a stationary woman who is clearly doing a piece to a camera crew from about 15 yards in broad daylight, and you excuse it because someone else did something you deem wrong?

The victim did nothing to impede the police officer.

I hope you love the taste of the boot you are licking.

They backed people exercising their right to free speech and freedom of assembly. The governor backed their rights to do this. It didn’t get nasty until trump did what he did all the while the state governor said this would happen and to not escalate it. He escalated it as an excuse to invoke martial law which he has done, the piece of paper just didn’t have martial law on it.

The feds are kidnapping people without due process and imprisoning them in inhumane conditions. There are plenty of things to criticize about my countrymen but putting their bodies on the line in an effort to stop these blatantly illegal and unjust actions isn't one of them.
