NPR reporter covering shooting of Compton cops tackled and arrested

There's no excuse for this type of media harassment in Trump's America.

<snips>

For hours on Saturday, KPCC reporter Josie Huang kept her followers informed with regular updates on Twitter as she covered the protests and unrest around Los Angeles.​

​

She was heading to Compton, she said, to cover the shooting of two L.A. County Sheriff's deputies, ambushed while sitting in their patrol car. Suddenly, Huang's Twitter feed went silent.​

​

Only hours later did readers learn, via a tweet by a colleague, that Huang had been detained by authorities. A news report on KPCC's sister site, LAist, elaborated, reporting that the award-winning journalist had been tackled and arrested by several sheriff's deputies while she was trying to document the arrest of a protester outside St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood.​

​

Video of the arrest, taken by the local ABC affiliate, shows multiple deputies pinning Huang face down against the pavement. KPCC Executive Editor Megan Garvey says Huang had just finished drafting a tweet when she was "tackled and arrested."​

​

KPCC reported that sheriff deputies knocked Huang's cellphone from her hands when they arrested her. Huang had been recording video at the time. In the video, she can be heard identifying herself as a reporter and yelling, "You're hurting me," KPCC reported.​

​

In a statement, NPR's senior vice president of news said the organization is "appalled" by Huang's arrest while performing her job and gathering facts to inform the public.​

"The rights of journalists are protected by the First Amendment, and essential to an informed public and our Democracy," said Nancy Barnes.​

​

Tension between police and journalists has been building across the country as law enforcement uses sometimes aggressive tactics against them.​

​

The Committee to Protect Journalists, which tracks violence against journalists around the world, has noted more than 800 instances of reported aggression against the press by police during Black Lives Matter protests across the country.​

Video of the arrest here. Look, I understand that the cops are under a ton of pressure right now. But she TOTALLY identified herself as a reporter and had her press credentials on a lanyard around her neck. The cops are LYING.

Protesters and rioters have been disguising themselves as "journalists" at said riots, and you wonder why this happens.

Of course no sympathy for the two shot cops, or how on edge the LA police have to be because of it.

Die you miserable sack of human shit.

Most morons at these “protests”, aka riots have “press” written on them somewhere. It’s a joke. Also, press aren’t exempt from orders from cops. If they tell you to disperse then you have to leave the area.

This bitch was sneaking up behind cops while making arrest. You think cops are going to allow that? She refused to back up. So fuck her, she is lucky she didn’t her teeth knocked out.

 

[Picaro]

NPR is a major agitator and supporter of the violence; they always reference any story of links to the vermin gun thug doper George Floyd as 'the murder of George Floyd', for instance, and of course they do the same type of criminal slanting of any news they report, so they don't get to cry 'Journalistic Freedom!!!', as they're nothing but commie vermin propagandists for the Left and promote violence.

Provoking cops and then sniveling and filing lawsuits is the new ghetto game show industry.

Uhm - YES THEY ARE actually. You do NOT tackle a reporter wearing press credentials and identifying her station. Hope she sues their pants off.

NPR agitates and promotes violence? What bullshit

LEFT-CENTER BIAS

• Overall, we rate NPR (National Public Radio) Left-Center Biased based on story selection that leans slightly left and Very High for factual reporting due to thorough sourcing and very accurate news reporting.

She did no such thing. She was doing what reporters are trained to do. Videotaping an arrest. Cell phone videos keep cops honest. They bit the bullet on this one.

Bullshit. We saw with the Floyd vids just how you and your fellow cop killer fans edit them an do so on purpose. You vermin have zero credibility any more, so why bother trying to pass your NPR activists as 'journalists' any more? It just makes you look like a huge dumbass moron. She was no more there to report 'The Facts' than you are doing here, shit for brains.

Being a reporter does grant someone immunity from police orders. If you can't handle that reality you have no business being down in the middle of violent confrontations between police and sociopaths.
