I don't expect the LAPD to do it, or Trump to do it, but it is California and there is still a criminal justice system there. The reporter isn't going to just walk away. You can't just shoot people for reporting the news. This WILL be prosecuted.

Only a complete dictatorial takover could stop it, and we aren't there yet. It may be Trump's goal but we don't surrender in advance.
