<blockquote><i>"Bellingcat has identified and collected multiple
instances of US law enforcement deliberately targeting
journalists during the protests against the killing of George
Floyd.</i><i><br>
</i><i><br>
</i><i>The arrest of a CNN crew in Minneapolis while broadcasting
live on air on May 29th was a shocking event, especially in a
country with such strong protections on freedom of speech.
However as of the time of writing we have identified at least 50
separate incidents where journalists have been attacked by law
enforcement."</i><br>

<blockquote><i>"AS THOUSANDS OF PROTESTERS converged in Brooklyn on
Monday evening, NYPD scanners picked up a bit of radio chatter
that stood out even in the atmosphere of boiled-over police
violence. After a police dispatcher noted protester movement
near the 77th Precinct, a voice on the same channel replies
clearly: “Shoot those motherfuckers.” Just as clear was the
immediate response: “Don’t put that over the air.”</i><br>
