I used to work as a reporter for @KPCC (aka Southern California Public Radio.) They knew exactly who we all were even back in 2008 or so. @LASDHQ is full of shit.

Plus, given how many of my colleagues from there have been targeted by law enforcement in recent months, I would argue that they know exactly who everybody is.
We should strip the responsibility of credentialing media from law enforcement agencies and give it over to community groups. They're clearly not capable of handling it and we obviously cannot trust them.
To be honest, I let my credentials expire in 2013 and never looked back. I don't need anybody's fucking permission!!
lol sorry, this is obviously something else I've been chewing on for at least a decade
*takes all our personal information, fingerprints us, goes over our social media, bitches about perceived “anti-cop bias” as we try to do just our jobs*
“KPCC? SCPR? Never heard of ‘em!” Oh okay Alex V.
I’m especially nettled that bad circumstances and bad law enforcement are forcing me to stand with one of the places that unceremoniously fired me. But here we are, whether they want my support or not!
