Is someone listing the journalists attacked by cops across the country? Tweet in DU post not organiz

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

difficulty speaking from tear gas fumes. But, did not see any press specifically "attacked" or targeted.
