The crowd just finished chanting "Who do you serve? Who do you protect?" The crowd formed within two minutes after the shooting, witnesses say.pic.twitter.com/GEvOEZQ2St

The situation has gotten as bad as its been a night. Police charged into the parking lot and started hitting people. Two officers smacked my phone out of my hand and shoved me to the ground. Don't know how many arrests, but at least a dozen from what I could see.pic.twitter.com/L7Q5xQyWSe

I had my press badge held up in one hand and my phone in the other while I was saying "I'm a reporter." Two Chicago Police officers repeatedly pushed me, then smacked my phone out of my hand and threw me back. I lost my balance but can't remember if I hit the ground or not.pic.twitter.com/vhi4gjlNla

All they needed is one good cop this could have been avoided, the police can't calm themselves down, how do the expect the crowd to stay calm Every officer needs retrained, they forgot we the people pay them to protect and serve
-
Yeah, how about at your work place people show up and start throwing bottles of piss at you...to protest a CRIMINAL! No the police are doing the best they can given idiots who don't care about the truth.

When the police say, "back up!", you get closer. Not too bright, Nader

FYI, reporters are required by law to obey the lawful command of a police officer, just like every other citizen.

As I recall from my J school days it was assault the moment he touched the camera

You'd have to pay more than lip service to the law you've sworn to uphold for that to matter.

Your published story says you were shoved to the ground.
-
Right, but now he can’t remember if he hit the ground or not..
-
That’s what I was questioning. Twice last night and in the printed story, the assertion was that he was shoved to the ground. Now can’t recall. Big difference.

I heard officers tell you and others over & over to back up. I suppose if you had listened to them & MOVED BACK, you might not have been PUSHED BACK! Press pass doesn't give you a right to be in the way!

With the way that crowd looked to be behaving, I would expect the police to push people back. Stay out of the way!!!! They have to protect themselves!

It’s....not private property though?
-
A shopping center certainly isn’t owned by the public.
-
Oh ok Mark is it owned by the cops?
-
No but I bet the owner of the property wants a riot kept off his land. And a police has the job to protect people’s shit so.....
