"While the department understands the need [for journalists] to be on-site, it is never acceptable to interfere with official police duties and assaulting an officer of the law — no matter the degree — will never be tolerated," the statement read.

Trying to interact with police intent on arresting you is a Simon Says game you can't beat. ACAB.

It's all power dynamics. In any interaction with police, you have no power.

You have no power in the moment, but sometimes it's unavoidable and small moments create echoes

I read that as “small moments create chaos” and I agree with that sentiment.

In my experience, these kinds of arrests are never about charging anyone. They're about arresting people.

90% of police work is intimidation. Now that those kids have a taste of kidnapping being arrested they might be weary.

Almost as if the arrests were made to intimidate the crowd. It makes the rest think they could be next.
