Teargassed, beaten up, arrested: what freedom of the press looks like in the US right now

I think the police see journalists as attacking their tribe – they feel they are getting a lot of bad press because of what happened to FloydAnd at several points, he has made clear that the press is to be viewed as part of the problem. Trump has directly accused journalists of being complicit in the destruction taking place during the protests, suggesting they were in cahoots with looters.

You forgot kidnapped, shot at, and stripped of basic human rights with gestapo style tactics

This aged well - 'Let reporters roam free!'

Freedom of press might look bad in these hard time and freedom of speech might be in hard times but real question i guess is what you journalists have been doing before in last 10-15 years

welcome to HongKong Same battle field but our enemy is CCP Press get your helmet and mask ready!

Racist pigs are a threat to everyone, even white senior citizens, the disabled and even adolescent children. Corrupt and incompetent cops are criminals, except without any morals or common decency. Time to flush the toilet America, and start anew.

Can we concentrate on the fact that the cops are targeting everyone. Except the white redneck armed racists of course. They don't see them as a threat as there's only a few dozen. We can't be seen to challenge their right to authority.

JeanneMile13 Unfortunately the press thinks they are above the law! When Police ask you to move back, they mean everyone!

If there is one story you read today, please read this one. Two forms of justice for Americans. Officers emboldened to persecute journalists because the truth reveals what too many of them are, thugs. Officers need to rotate between policing and outreach. ⚖️ JusticeReform NOW

realDonaldTrump MakingAmericaGoddamnAwful MAGA

Bit like Kashmir

The reporters look more like war correspondents in the videos

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

One journalist has done more than all the protesters combined to awaken the world to Government crimes - without hurting anyone or even breaking a window. Julian Assange Except the Guardian smears & mocks him as he sits in jail awaiting extradition to the US

In Hong Kong the press is the riot. Journalist outnumbers policemen and protestors

They need sanctions put on them.

Must make all ppl distrust Police, stir up guilt only Black Lives matter. Silence all the Black commentators who think for themselves, Candice Owens, Thomas Sowell. Don't show how hard working Black businesses have been ruined by Antifa. PROPAGANDA BUST!

America is not the land of the free is it realDonaldTrump nor is the uk BorisJohnson

First they came for JulianAssange ....

What fake news looks like in order to stow the tensions.

We’re so privileged we can fantasise the US is an oppressive regime.

I don’t wish harm on journalists but this a good development. New outlets had cozy relationships with law enforcement. TV stations would broadcast police statements as fact. Journalists are experiencing what the public sees daily and reporting has improved.

America doesn’t want to be America anymore. Maga Kaga Qanon WWG1WGA. America has decided to trash the principles it was built on.

The 'enemy of the people' are complicit in their coverage of the Russian operative.

Trump has been attacking the press for a LOOOOONG time.

UK not far behind

good

Wow

CRAZY, THEY DID ONLY THEIR WORK: JOURNALISTS now beaten and teargased

Our true nationality is mankind.

Trump's America - Curfews, Protests, Brutal Police and National Guard attacking citizens. 125 Press Freedom violations, 20 journalists arrested, 90 incidents included pepper spray, rubber bullets and tear gas. Suggestions are that the press are being deliberately targeted.

She only get coca-cola 😭

Oof

China takes a victory lap over US protestsChina is hitting back at the US for supporting Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrations last year. Western nasty double-standard and filthy hypocrisy have shamed themselves dearly. These western pollies and media uttterly deserve the slapping in their faces. At least the Chinese didn’t call in the army to terrorize Hong Kong. BBC and other news channel are actually glorifying the violence by projecting/publishing such news from both or any other parties
