Where do we live again? I thought we had, like, press freedom or freedom of the news or something? Some document that guarantees our rights or something?
Everything below is from the kos entry, which does a nice job of bringing disparate reports together. I know I'll probably get flamed for this, seeing as how everyone is sick of the GOP-hating, but wtf - who cares. This is driving me insane:::::
Two veteran photojournalists - NPPA member Rick Wilking of Reuters and Getty's Mark Wilson - were robbed of cameras and computer equipment today while on assignment in a neighborhood in New Orleans, and a photojournalist and a reporter were confronted at gunpoint and slammed against a wall by police following a shoot-out between looters and cops that left at least one person dead.
"The cops saw him and put him down, and took his gear. At first they were going to take all of his cameras, but he talked them into only taking the memory cards and letting him keep the cameras."
Law enforcement have absolutely lost their minds. Some guy wearing khaki fatigues and black vests which say Police on them have their faces covered in black ski masks and are touting M4-A1s with front hand grips -- like they're some kind of Delta Force operators waiting to hit the tire house.
