A journalist is filming and asking the police why protesters are being arrested. The police tackle him and he states loudly, "I'm with the press" multiple times. The video ends with an officer confiscating his press badge and bag. Another officer off camera is heard saying to the journalist, "Shh, you've been no help here".
