1. They're clearly targeting live streamers, Fullerton Police did the same thing earlier this year.

In Berkeley they called the livestreamer you're talking about out at gunpoint then threw his camera on the ground when he asked for their badge number and ID. Before the livestream went dark, he was heard yelling "They're beating me up, help me, help me" and now no one knows what happened to him or his PTSD Dog.

Very scary stuff.
