The linked video and description are from The Independent reposting CNN's feed. The CNN video has no such description: [VIDEO]
30 seconds in this clip of the video [VIDEO] I remembered this as being stated too the cops much clearer than it actually was. Likely I was mixing what they said with what the CNN reporters said later on when they were replaying this clip.
Watched first 10 videos with youtube links in the list: url - description - what I see in the video [LINK] - trampling a peaceful protestor with a horse - protester stepped into the horse's way without looking in that direction, nobody's fault [LINK] - Shoving an unarmed woman to the curb, prompting a seizure that put her in the emergency room - police pushed somebody away from them, clip is cut right at the push, we have no context on what prompted that [LINK] - doing an intentional hit-and-run with a car door to an unarmed protestor standing in the non-vehicular bike lane - protesters standing in the street in front of emergency vehicles with their lights and sirens on, but the door hit (minor) was definitely intentional and unnecessary [LINK] - NYPD were just beating a variety of people earlier tonight because they could - police try to arrest some people who are resisting, some other protesters jump the police, police hit people with sticks, get them on the ground, handcuff. No unnecessary violence I can see. [LINK] - beating a variety of unarmed protestors for sport - line of policeman pushing protesters back, nothing more [LINK] - pepper-spraying a variety of unarmed protestors for sport - police pepper spray protesters who got in their face insulting them, but where not violent. Pepper spray unjustified from what I can tell [LINK] - Minneapolis PD officer in an SUV indiscriminately sprays random citizens with pepper spray from his car window - yes, because people where
Many are clearly journalists, e.g. Omar Jimenez, the CNN reporter who was arrested on live TV along with his camera crew: [VIDEO]
> not with a NBC news truck Reminder that a CNN journalist was arrested during a live broadcast this year: [VIDEO] I'm not sure riot declarations are supposed to allow the police to arrest journalists this way. (And if they are, we should challenge them on Constitutional grounds.)
