Rachel Maddow just mentioned Baltimore police want the media to go to

"Staging center" so they don't encourage people to stay out.... OR are they trying to keep media from recording mistreatment?

1. Right now they are being pretty aggressive about moving the media back.

I'm watching the CNN coverage and they are being told to leave the area, and the reason was "because I said so".. (direct quote)

The cops might be butthurt that 6 of them are being taken to task.

There certainly seem pretty aggressive tonight. No violence yet, but the batons are out.

edit: by "leave the area" I mean from the area where they were near some protesters. I'm not sure if that was the press area or not.

2. State censorship.

First amendment violation.

3. If the asshole cop they have on Fox News tonight is any indication

The cops are pissed off and could get out of control.
