NPR reporter covering shooting of Compton cops tackled and arrested

"Journalists" are not "special".

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

You do if she interferes with police business.

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.

They told her to back up, she refused. She got her ass beat as a result. Thanks for playing.

Yes, and in a crowd of scum yelling 'let them die!!!' to boot. The pros all know where to find the PR dept. for the police to get offical statements; she was just there to spur the rioters on to more violence so they could get a photo op or two.

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.

Not in situations like that one. They aren't exempt or immune from arrest in riot situations and hanging out with mobs of total scum. In this case, it would have been fine if the police just gunned all the vermin down, for their own safety. Chanting 'Let Them Die!!!' at the emergency room is definitely a suicide by cop wish.

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.

Boogaloo Boi and White Nationalist anti-gubment Trump supporters kill cops - Not patriots. So to clarify, you feel that reporters should stay in their cubicles and NOT report. Hell, Donald would like to jail or kill his enemies in the Fourth Estate. Bet you would too. Tough, this is America. Move to Russia or Turkey *pencil-dick.

*Sorry, not a term I would normally use but Cecile just used it. Besides, you just referred to me as a huge dumbass moron and shit for brains.

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.

So you hate the Constitution. Got it.

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.​

KPCC Journalist Tackled, Arrested While Trying To Cover L.A. Protest

Police say reporter Josie Huang didn't identify herself as a reporter, and was interfering with a lawful arrest. KPCC says Huang was just documenting the arrest on video when police tackled her.

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.

Trump America???
Are you dense??
This was in California buddy... like maybe 1 in 20 people voted for Trump there.
That area is 100% ran by Democrats.

Journalists aren't anyone special. In fact most of the time they get in the way of police trying to do their jobs. Always wanting to know what's going on and sticking mics in officers faces.

She was told to back off and didn't. She got exactly what she deserved.

What does that have to do with anything? Donald doesn't honor states rights. He'll send his Secret Police in against a governors will just to prove he's "tough". California is in Trump's 'Murica dummy.

Mango Menace seems to want two Americas - States that voted for him and states that didn't. If he wins another term, I say GIVE it to him as long as his America takes ALL Deplorables!

She should not have pulled her privilege card during a police action at a hospital. St. Francis hospital no less. I am very familiar with this hospital. It is in Lynwood. The hospital serves some of the most violent real estate in the entire state. Rival gangs will target the wounded opening fire right in the emergency room. The security guards are armed abd wear bullet proof vests.

This stupid fool is lucky some cholo didn't blow her head off.
