'I’ve covered protests involving police,' writes mollyhf from Minneapolis. 'I’ve also covered the U.S. military in war zones, including Iraq and Afghanistan. I have never been fired at by police until tonight.'
When Minnesota police advanced on peaceful protesters gathered at an intersection outside the Fifth Precinct late Saturday, I didn’t expect them to fire on reporters.appeared from behind a chain link fence opposite protesters. They were in riot gear and grasping batons.
The officers started by firing tear gas indiscriminately into the street. We watched, cameras rolling. But instead of passing, the officers turned, backed us up against the precinct wall and fired. We tried to move along the wall, but it wasn’t clear where the officers wanted us to go. They issued no order, just fired. The photographer I was with shouted that she was unable to see because she’d been hit. One of the cameras was still rolling, and my sister, who lives nearby with her family, heard me shouting on television, “Where do we go?”
