          Probably not anything beyond, "it's our duty as enforcers of this dictatorship to silence the press." Vote the politicians out, and elect ones that care enough about democracy to fire bad cops, like the ones in this video. Happy election day, everyone.

          I'm sick of the media thinking they can just call out "press" in dark areas alongside rioters and expect the police to somehow be able to discern who is who. At that point get the heck away and quit poking the lion. Use some common sense. Stupid, no one feels sorry for you.

          The press is meant to poke the lion they are the sheep dog to hold those in power accountable for their gross misuse of power. There is a reason the most important right is a free press

          Thank you for getting this on video. @DMPolice need to fire the officer who pepper sprayed her. @cowniefordsm needs to control our violent police department and get them to stop escalating things. @WHO13news @KCCINews

          Thank you for doing your job. Democracy is dependent on a free press, anyone who disagrees does not understand Democracy.
