I didn’t post that I later heard Amy Goodman talk about the situation there and she remarked that the police chief said that, to avoid situations like this, journalists should request to be embedded with the riot police–embedded in the USA.

This is unacceptable. I read the article in the NPPA magazine and had some incidents with riot police during events like halloween or homecoming. It is a clear first amendment rights infringement and legal cases should be pursued by those affected.
We can’t afford to lose our protection as journalists. They need to train the police better or accommodate journalists better. something like this is a step in the wrong direction.
