Chicago Cop Accused of Damaging Photographer's Gear

| | Comments (0)
The Chicago Police Department is investigating allegations that an officer seized and damaged a Tribune photographer's cameras Monday night at the scene of a police-involved shooting that turned into an unruly public demonstration.

The story goes on to say that the officer intentionally knocked one camera out of the photographer's hand and threw a second camera down the street while the photographer was covering a fatal shooting, by police, of a teenager.

Photography is not a crime people. Not even photographing the police. How far are we going to ride this circle before we start coming back the other way again?
