    Suck it up, crybaby.

    An Australian foreign correspondent was hit by what was understood to
    be a rubber bullet while reporting from Los Angeles.

    Channel Nine's Lauren Tomasi is seen jumping in pain after the
    incident in which she was struck in the leg on Sunday.

    A law enforcement officer can be seen turning towards news cameras
    and firing the round before Tomasi was struck.

    It comes as protests against immigration raids in the Californian
    city continued for a third day, with vehicles set on fire and reports
    of looting.

    Reporters expect not to be attacked by either side in a public
    disturbance.

    However if they place themselves in a dangerous position, they're not automatically protected from any problem and may get accidentally
    injured.
