Saw that did get hit and carried off in a live stream. Not wearing any big sign that says press. Someone even that doesn’t matter with these cops but better at least do that if you’re there to document it

Would be far more viable had the Australian press not also been shot.

You’d think the microphone and news camera crew would give away the fact that they’re press, but I guess not. The PRESS identification is generally seen worn by war correspondents, rather than standadd press (they use lanyards moreso than flak jackets).

That being said; there is definitely an argument to be made that the US should be receiving war correspondents rather than standard journalists; and journalists being shot on camera definitely strengthens that argument.
