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.

Are you suggesting > .6% (31/5000) of the protesters were journalists? That seems implausible.

I've been to quite a few (admittedly smaller) protests, where the ratio was 1:2. So yes, 0.6% sounds like a small number.
