Enough w the apologies by Minnesota's Governor about police "misconduct" toward journalists. We heard this 1 year ago when @OmarJimenez was arrested live. This year a officer throws down our producer who is AAPI & keeps asking "do you speak" english.(1)

What does that tell you about the mentality of the officer who arrested her for doing her job? This isn't a learning curve. It is a choice. Do something about it. Also #StopAsianHate #BrooklynCenter #DaunteWright
Plus police were taking photos of journalists credentials but would not say why. The governor said that would not happen again.
Also noting that Independent journalist have a much harder time fighting these measures. They don’t have the money or the organization to back them.

That is why larger organizations have to come forward and do their part.
Also we get it from all sides. A protestor who gets mad and attacks us. And then the police. This job ain't for everybody. But it is all worth it. Big ups to my pal @miguelmarquez @CarolynSungCNN who are deeply passionate about the communities they cover.
