- stronglikedan 6y agoThanks. I know the CNN crew were definitely arrested for cause, but I hadn't heard about the Australian crew. Although, I'll have to do more research on that one, because the link doesn't really give much context as to why they were confronted in the first place.
- jessaustin 6y agoWhat was the cause? They were taking pictures too disruptively? I can't believe I've been forced to defend CNN...
- kyleee 6y agoThey were told to move out of that specific area
- jessaustin 6y agoSo what? Unlawful orders are unlawful. The reporter and camera operator were not obstructing anything. They were in a position to observe, which is what the public wants them to do. Police will disagree, but police have lied so much that no one believes them anymore.
- kyleee 6y agoWhy is it assumed the order is unlawful?
- jessaustin 6y agoI didn't assume anything. I told you why it was unlawful, in the comment directly above.
- bilbo0s 6y agoI can't believe I've been forced to defend CNN. I can't believe I'm agreeing with your defense of CNN. We really are living in Bizarro World right now. Some people in the US have gone way too far down the authoritarian path.
