Australian Prime Minister calls for investigation after reporters violently attacked by U.S. police

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is calling for an investigation after an Australian news crew was apparently assaulted by police as they covered protests outside of the White House Monday evening.
Channel 7 reporter Amelia Brace filmed a segment on the George Floyd protests Monday, that documented D.C. police firing tear gas at the peaceful protesters just as President Donald Trump was about to give his Rose Garden speech. While Brace was reporting that her cameraman got hit by a rubber bullet, her segment suddenly showed police charging at the crowd before one officer lunged at their camera.
The live footage shocked Braces colleagues back in the Sunrise news studio, who remarked that theyre not discriminating between protesters and the media here. When Brace got back in front of the camera and confirmed the crew was alright, she continued to report on the chaos while saying you heard us yelling we were media, but they dont care
They were quite violent and they do not care who theyre targeting at the moment.
The incident happened as police forced protesters to disperse so that Trump could visit St. Johns Episcopal Church for a photo-op.
