The reporters were filming an arrest of a protester across the street just before 9 p.m. when they were approached by police officers, according to the video. The journalists wore media vests and identified themselves several times as media, as officers put on the handcuffs. Cutler asked about the charge and was told, “for standing in the street in a roadway.”
The journalists told USA TODAY they were about a foot away from the curb, standing in a crosswalk. A curfew that led to the arrest of some protesters did not apply to news media.
The News Leader wrote: “A citizen filmed the arrest with Nagaishi’s phone, which an officer then retrieved and placed in her pocket.”

Under former President Donald Trump, the Justice Department went after sources in unauthorized leak cases by obtaining phone records of journalists, a practice the Biden administration, which has sought to rebuke so much of the last White House s agenda, is now defending.
One case revealed last week was worse than Nixon because Nixon never actually seized any records, former White House Counsel John Dean told the
Washington Examiner, adding that this was because former President Richard Nixon could develop no real probable cause.

“Help! Shooting in Siloé. It’s 9:25. They are shooting us,” says a trembling man filming a group as they run away. “They are killing us,” someone says amid screams and confusion in another video showing people sprawled on the floor, wounded and bleeding.
These accounts, shared on social media and essential in broadcasting the national strike, depict what happened on the night of May 3 in a popular neighborhood known as Siloé, in the Comuna 20 in west Cali. They reflect the hours of terror and the police’s excessive use of force against demonstrators. The human toll: 19 people wounded, mostly by bullets, and three young people killed: Kevin Antoni Agudelo Jiménez, Harold Antoni Rodríguez Mellizo, and José Emilson Ambuila.

When a single work of digital art, which will never hang on a physical wall, sells for $69 million at a Christie’s auction in March, or a picture of a routine column from a tech writer for the New York Times, which could be read online for free, is bought for an astounding $560,000, some perspective is desperately needed.
These prices were commanded in recent weeks as part of a current craze over nonfungible tokens or NFTs. The digital-only elements, existing solely on a vast network of computers that control the blockchain, have actually been around for several years. But when tens of millions of dollars are suddenly tossed around for something that only exists in cyberspace, it’s clear that a lot of people are taking a renewed interest in the evolving world of digital currencies.
