Police attacks against journalists across the U.S. since May 28

>>laurex+(OP)
I think it would show more nuanced sentiment to say, that on 110 occasions journalists ended up caught in aggressive police action since May 28. Current wording would have an implication for many people, that journalists were deliberately chosen as targets.

There is plenty of video footage of journalists being directly targeted and attacked by the police.

Intentionally picked up from the crowd?

Nothing here shows intent to apprehend specifically journalists.

Wikipedia shows >5,000 arrests overall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests. Which I bet means journalists were arrested way less, than an average protesting folk.
