They don't care who you are, they arrest everyone
Here's the raw video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwY8XFBe87
They arrest journalists at the 40 minute mark. Real great look, LAPD.
Also FTA:
"When we come here and they're here during hours of curfew...we asked them for ID, they refused, that's delaying."
"They might end up being charged with conspiracy to commit crime, which would be a felony," the officer said.
One person who identified themselves as being school faculty said the school imposes no curfew.
Disgusting abuse of power.
Back during the BLM Ferguson protests in 2014, police entered a McDonalds and began arresting photo-journalists on charges of disturbing the peace because they weren't packing their bags fast enough.
Policing in the US is an absolute farce.
A black man dedicating his life to filming the police. The balls on this guy.
This follows a week chaotic week of protests on campus.
We can't get good copy-editors on our journalism anymore.
All the editors went woke.
