It's very hard to follow
I saw these cities mentioned---
*Minneapolis----many, many, including Ali V
*Denver
*Detroit
*NewYork----many, many
*Virginia
*saltLakeCity
In at least one city, Minneapolis?, foreign press was attacked
There was a woman whose eye was badly damaged---where?
I think there were many more cities
Press was attacked by tear gas, pepper spray (often after being knocked to ground). By batons?
In Minneapolis cops lobbed stuff at people sitting ON THEIR OWN PORCHES (IIRC this was done in Ferguson)
Reports cops
---covered badges, cameras
---laughed when told they were attacking press
---seemed deliberately to single out press
