[Dulcinea]

(The Wrap) KARE 11 reporter Jana Shortal was pepper sprayed in Minneapolis just after ICE agents shot and killed a second person in the city on Saturday, sparking a fresh wave of massive protests despite freezing temperatures and icy conditions.

Shortal explained she was on Nicollett Avenue “behind the police line” observing people who were “interacting with the border patrol agents, chanting a lot of the chants you hear now.”

Shortal emphasized that she was in the appropriate position with a press credential and continued, “They started to push and move the line. And I started to back up and this one officer just pushed me really hard and I said, ‘Do not push me. I’m press.'”

1. maybe you are on "the right side"...and maybe...

you are a real reporter trying to publicize facts and reality…

but the fact that you willingly accept the fallacy that there is an “appropriate position” for the press to report from and the belief that “press credentials” should shield you makes me question you.

should the protesters also be in an appropriate position? maybe a free speech zone?
