There are protesters and there are rioters and they're two very different things. At some point, rioters must be met with force to protect people and property.
And the arrest of the CNN reporter is interesting and I'd like to find out more. Of course, the media cite a black CNN reporter was arrested but many fail to mention that his crew were also arrested and they were white. Could it be they were warned about entering a restricted area but did so any way? I see no one else around them but the police; no other camera crews, no other rioters or protesters.
And good job by the NYPD driving through the protesters. When idiots want to stand in front of a police car, throw bricks and debris at them, they should get run over. No one on this board, when surrounded by these idiots, would stop and try to deal with a mob.
