They appear to be keeping out of the way and just filming, not provoking anyone.
There was no curfew, police just clearing protestors so Mr Trump could make an appearance in the street.
The cameraman was hit in the stomach without warning; the female reporter was hit across the back as she was running away.
May be the Washington Cops hate sunrise as much as most Aussies do? |
If you think a police or military line will charge like that without warning your kidding yourself, the crowd would have been given a direction to clear the area many, many tines before such action is taken..
The curfew from what they are reporting (which I’ll take with a grain of salt) was in effect as of 30mins from when the Police line moved, that’s 30mins to be at home off the streets not to be making way from the area, these protestors want to play hard ball and now that’s what they have got.
As for our media, wear some ID and high vis, stop being part of the protest and report on the action and when the Police say move, get moving.
