NPR reporter Josie Huang tackled, arrested by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies while covering protest - The Washington Post

As Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies tackled Josie Huang to the street on Saturday night, the reporter for NPR affiliate KPCC screamed repeatedly she was a journalist. Deputies arrested her anyway, leaving her with scrapes, bruises, a five-hour stay in custody — and an obstruction charge that carries up to a year in jail. Police claimed Huang, who also reports for LAist, didn’t have credentials and ignored demands to leave the area. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/09/14/la-sheriffs-josie-huang-npr/
