Many are clearly journalists, e.g. Omar Jimenez, the CNN reporter who was arrested on live TV along with his camera crew: ▶ this video
> not with a NBC news truck Reminder that a CNN journalist was arrested during a live broadcast this year: ▶ this video I'm not sure riot declarations are supposed to allow the police to arrest journalists this way. (And if they are, we should challenge them on Constitutional grounds.)
30 seconds in this clip of the video ▶ this video I remembered this as being stated too the cops much clearer than it actually was. Likely I was mixing what they said with what the CNN reporters said later on when they were replaying this clip.
Watched first 10 videos with youtube links in the list: url - description - what I see in the video link - trampling a peaceful protestor with a horse - protester stepped into the horse's way without looking in that direction, nobody's fault link - Shoving an unarmed woman to the curb, prompting a seizure that put her in the emergency room - police pushed somebody away from them, clip is cut right at the push, we have no context on what prompted that link - doing an intentional hit-and-run with a car door to an unarmed protestor standing in the non-vehicular bike lane - protesters standing in the street in front of emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens on, but the door hit (minor) was definitely intentional and unnecessary link - NYPD were just beating a variety of people earlier tonight because they could - police try to arrest some people who are resisting, some other protesters jump the police, police hit people with sticks, get them on the ground, handcuff. No unnecessary violence I can see. link - beating a variety of unarmed protestors for sport - line of policeman pushing protesters back, nothing more link - pepper-spraying a variety of unarmed protestors for sport - police pepper spray protesters who got in their face insulting them, but where not violent. Pepper spray unjustified from what I can tell link - Minneapolis PD officer in an SUV indiscriminately sprays random citizens with pepper spray from his car window - yes, because people where
The linked video and description are from The Independent reposting CNN's feed. The CNN video has no such description: ▶ this video
