    It's a lot of hyperbole, but yes, a reporter was knocked to the ground and handcuffed face-down and dragged out of a press conference because he continued to quietly speak into his camera as the governor started speaking...at the opposite end of a gymnasium. He was trying to wrap things up and wasn't given the chance. https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ohio/reporter-arrested-east-palestine-train-derailment-press-conference/95-ed78befd-f42c-42c8-bde4-6ede243f62fc https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ohio/reporter-arrest... https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/reporter-arrested-during-east-palestine-press-conference-released-expected-to-face-a-judge/ https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/reporter-arrested-du... etc. I'm sure, of course, that the police reaction had nothing whatsoever to do with his ethnicity. /s
