    “The media is not a target” says #Ferguson police chief. Despite journos getting arrested, tear-gassed, cleared out of working areas.

        @aterkel @ryanjreilly This press conference seems to really highlight how the chief appears to have little or no control over his officers.

        .@aterkel @ryanjreilly Begs the question: "Who *is* a target?" Who in #Ferguson did ANYTHING to justify level of police use of force we see?

        @aterkel @ryanjreilly That's bullshit and he knows it. Ask #aljazeeraamerica. It was blatant in their case. It's unconstitutional & criminal

        @aterkel @ryanjreilly Told to turn off their cameras. Those are orders given directly to media individuals. Or "targeted at", one could say.

        @aterkel @ryanjreilly They were never arrested. We're detained cause they acted dumb and antagonized cops. No pity here

        @aterkel Sadly they are telling the truth. The media assault is simply collateral damage.
