US police who attacked Sunrise journalists placed on administrative duties
Two US police officers have been placed on administrative duties after attacking two Australian journalists covering the protests in response to the death of George Floyd.
Earlier this week, Sunrise reporter Amelia Brace and cameraman Tim Myers were covering a protest outside of the White House in Washington DC when officers began to clear protesters from the area to allow President Donald Trump to walk to a nearby church to pose for photographs holding a Bible.
Police approached the reporters, with one officer smashing a riot shield into Myers’ camera. Brace and Myers began to run, while another officer swung a baton at Brace’s back.
Good! No excuse for such brutality.
Let’s keep exposing the handful of thugs in the police force, politics & other systems who threaten rather than enhance collaboration & progress.
