So tell me, ...what did this guy do to deserve it?

171. It did not have to meander all over the place. Most of us simply looked for the story and easily

found his ID and several reports from various sources as to how he, and btw, another Getty journalist, were injured/arrested or both. If people are unwilling to simply do their own research that is on them.

It's been over a week now so there are plenty of reports, so it seems to me that anyone who has not read through the thread, where the info was posted or done their own research, simply isn't interested in the facts but wants to, I don't know, what DO they want"

Since you missed it though, here's one source and there are plenty of others. Btw, this is one of two Getty Journalists who were there, the other was also arrested and yes, there is plenty of information on that story also.

Chicago Police Accused of Targeting Journalists During Nato Protests

Some journalists were injured in clashes between demonstrators and police. Max Braverman, a self-described citizen journalist, suffered cuts to his head Sunday afternoon as police attempted to disperse thousands of protesters following a veterans for peace rally he was documenting.

Scott Olson, a photographer with Getty, was hit on the head with a police baton on Sunday. Another Getty photographer, Joshua Lott, was arrested, too.

That story is one week old, so not sure why people are still 'meandering all over the thread' and have still not checked out the OP for themselves.

So back to the question the OP asked: 'What did this guy do to deserve what happened to him'?

Can you answer that question now that you know, he was a journalist covering a news story, unarmed, not threatening anyone, just doing his job? Why was he hit on the head by a cop? Why was his colleague roughed and arrested while showing his Press Card?
