The MPD targeted journalists and sources speaking to journalists in Minneapolis. We saw it. That military and police continue to do it elsewhere is no surprise.
“Journalists have been pelted with rubber bullets or pepper spray, including an Australian TV reporter struck while doing a live shot and a NY Post reporter left with a giant welt on his forehead after taking a direct hit. A CNN crew was detained then released on Monday.” apnews.com/article/immi...
