CNN National Correspondent Jason Carroll, who has been reporting on the unrest in Los Angeles for the past few days, found himself a part of the story tonight when he was detained and briefly questioned by Police in Los Angeles.

During a live shot, Carroll is heard telling police his name and then seen being walked away with his hands behind his back.

A police officer is then heard saying, “We’re letting you go. You can’t come back. If you come back, you will be arrested.”

CNN later reported that, while Carroll was released, two members of his camera crew were arrested.

3. From the article -- many journalists have been attacked

According to the LA Press Club, “ A number of reports suggest that federal officers have indiscriminately used force or deployed munitions such as tear gas or pepper balls that caused significant injuries to journalists. In some cases, federal officers appear to have deliberately targeted journalists who were doing nothing more than their job covering the news.”

The LA Press Club referred to at least 24 “documented” instances of journalists being targeted by law enforcement while covering the protests in Los Angeles between June 6-8, and multiple media workers report having been shot by police with less-than-lethal munitions.

Those journalists included Southern California News Group’s Ryanne Mena, freelance journalists Anthony Cabassa and Sean Beckner-Carmitchel, The Southlander’s Ben Camacho, British photojournalist Nick Stern, and LA Taco’s Lexis Olivier-Ray.

10. Big news--NONE OF US ARE EXEMPT!

We are all prey for the fascists and they are using any weapon at hand: guns, finances, kidnapping, starvation, and disease. It doesn't matter if you are a member of congress, a mayor, a famous journalist, a superstar, or even whether you are part of the inner circle, or just a member of the human race. Felon/rapist/traitor is gunning for everyone and no one will stop him.
