Police Take Aim at News Crew
/How many times over the years have we seen a US based news crew became the target of authorities while trying to cover a story overseas?
You watched as authorities target the news crew and you couldn’t believe it was happening as they were just trying to do their job.
But, in the back of your mind, you thought, this is crazy, but then again it is happening in a foreign country thousands of miles from here.
Well, here is a news crew from Europe that is just trying to do the news and for some reason is being targeted by the police. The Reporter clearly is wearing a vest with the words “Press” on it. It’s not like the cops didn’t know.
This isn’t thousands of miles away on some foreign shore, this is right here in the United States and it is disgusting.
