This is horrible. Is this not a violation of the right to a free press? @POTUS @ACLU
"[Police] have closed in the press and they are ID'ing everybody and taking pictures with a cell phone." After photojournalist @JonFarinaPhoto was nearly apprehended, a Minnesota Lieutenant told him that they are using an APP to track press and all of their notes. #DaunteWright

Is @ggreenwald going to tweet about this?
Who gets to be called press? Did you know the press was the first “profession” recruited by the cia after world war 2 to spy?
Maybe the press should stop doing fluff pieces on the police and our government and start to challenge power. Things might change!

Yes. Hence why they're protesting. The police don't follow the law.

The police in America are so scary and seemingly getting worse. When you go after journalists you know a democracy is in serious trouble

Replying to @marwilliamson @ACLU
Marianne, @POTUS doesn’t care.
No way you can still be shocked by police overreach. I know you're bringing attention to it, and that's great. But they've been what we always thought that were
