CNN Correspondent Detained By LAPD, Camera Crew Arrested...how dare they cover the news in trump's America?

[bongsaway]

The LA Press Club referred to at least 24 “documented” instances of journalists being targeted by law enforcement while covering the protests in Los Angeles between June 6-8, and multiple media workers report having been shot by police with less-than-lethal munitions.


Those journalists included Southern California News Group’s Ryanne Mena, freelance journalists Anthony Cabassa and Sean Beckner-Carmitchel, The Southlander’s Ben Camacho, British photojournalist Nick Stern, and LA Taco’s Lexis Olivier-Ray.

This is what the GOP is doing to America, hope you like it, you might be their next target?

They're sending a message. Next time it probably won't be non-lethal ammo used.

It's that damn 1st amendment! Trump wasn't going to get any help from the courts when it came to the media. He knows he can't shut them down or "pull their license." Now he's going to use a different approach.

 

[Airyaman]

I need to just point out that the LAPD does not work for Trump. Unless you think they are MAGA? I think they are their own set of crooked thugs.

Well to kill the press, you sometimes have to try and kill the press.

Detained and questioned to make sure he is not a rioter. No big deal.

You think there are no MAGAS in the LAPD? You think there are no MAGA agitators mingling among the peaceful protesters?

Wake up, people! This has been done before. Create chaos and use it as a pretense to justify implementing martial law.

Next, "postpone" elections so we can "sort this all out."

Would the lack of rioting not be enough?

They gave a lawful order to clear the area and the clown didn’t listen. Sad trombone.

Reporters aren’t exempt from lawful orders.

Nice rationale for muzzling the press.

What? Make sure he's not a rioter? What kind of authoritarian bullshit is that?
If he's not rioting when you detain him, he's not a rioter.
Gawd, what's going on down there?

 

[Grand Mal]

Reporters aren’t exempt from lawful orders.

Not everything a cop says is a lawful order.

Maybe so, maybe not, but to connect the two like this thread is trying to do is pure speculation.

 

[Stealers Wheel]

Of course, it is pure speculation, because nothing like this has EVER happened in the past. Today is the beginning of all existence. No one should ever look at the past, because everything is totally unprecedented. We have no guidance in this situation whatsoever. We should just let it play out and see where it takes us.

I wonder if they will have any use for cattle cars. Eh, whatever.

Most cops are right wing, yes. It's a position that inherently draws authoritarian bullies.

Hes a reporter. Unless his life was in danger.

 

[verrip1]

Poor babies!!!

 

[Deuce]

Poor babies!!!

You people say this and then vote for an orange dipshit who screeches literally every day on his shitty Twitter knockoff about how unfair the world is to him, the white male billionaire president declared above the law by the Supreme Court. The most privileged man on the entire planet, and he just can't stop bitching every ****ing day. Even on national holidays where all he has to do is give a holiday message to the American people he is supposed to represent, he can't help but whine.

Donald Trump is the most fragile human being I have ever witnessed, and you're criticizing a woman who was doing nothing wrong but was deliberately targeted by law enforcement with weaponry because she is a journalist. That woman was far, far tougher than you or Trump will ever be. Don't believe me? Watch the video. She's ****in hardcore. You'd lose that fight.

Fellow travelers.

Typical Democrat cops from California...

What did they expect? To have their rights protected? Did they not know who the Mayor of LA is? Or the Governor of the state?
