None of those officers were wearing badges as reported on MSNBC interview with reporter.

didn't want to be identified.


I am noticing a pattern, several of the reporters who were arrested with no reason were told ," stop resisting" . The reporters said they weren't resisting. Then after being assaulted by the police and arrested and detained, they were released with no explanation. WTF is this? Keep the reporters off the street keeps them from recording the madness.

1. Aren't they required to wear badges? They were trying to hide them during OWS also.

4. LOL. You think we live in a country of law?

That's been gone for decades.

2. Is that even legal?

Does that even matter anymore?

5. No and no. n/t

3. It is ALL about fear and intimidation.

If they rough up a few reporters, the protesters know they are at risk for worse. It is aimed to terrorize the populace into submission.

6. That reporter is also black, which might explain why his protestations and declarations

that he is a reporter is ignored.

7. "Stop resisting"

The martial law equivalent to "It's comin' right at us!"

Damn, I'm so glad we're all post-racial and stuff, as decreed by the Supreme Court, because this is starting to look like Rosewood.

8. one of the reporters said there was a man in the back of a police car yeling "help me"

No follow up on him.
