I cannot say who came up with these anti-camera battle cries. But its easy to understand why protesters use them: to shape the narrative the country sees about the protests. And that narrative, in my estimation after many weeks covering street clashes in a city where I lived for 15 years, is 90 percent bullshit.
I wondered, the first time I attended the protests at the federal building back in July, who all these young people with PRESS emblazoned on their jackets or helmets were. I asked one such guy who he worked for.
Independent Press Corps, he told me. As it turned out, dozens of other young PRESS people happened to work for the same outfit, which I at first assumed was a fancy way of saying I want to report stuff and stream it on my Instagram.
This turned out to be naive. The IPC is an organized group in league with the activists, and it is usually their footage you see streamed online and recycled on the news: mostly innocent protestors being harassed and beaten by police.
But we have another wave of fake news reporters where they dont bother to get credentials, they are BM rioters dressed up as reporters.
Last night conservative reporter Elijah Schaffer was assaulted by Black Lives Matter rioters dressed up as press in Rochester.
By dressing up as reporters, the activists can help to dox people who oppose the riots ideologically and spin a narrative of police going after press if they are arrested. Fake press is harassing me here. Assaulting me with their camera, Schaffer tweeted with a video of the incident. He noted that they are putting his name and face in chat rooms trying to get me jumped.

Elijah managed to capture the moment where one police officer was badly injured.

ANTIFA and BLM use fake press and fake medics as human shields, its part of the black block tactics of warfare.
And you can tell them apart from CNN reporters how?
Notice this Paramedic posing as some one who is wounded to draw attention away from where the real action is?
CNN has more and better equipment, and is accused by BLM as being sellouts.
He’s lucky: just hit meat, no arteries or major veins. Nobody around him experienced/smart enough to apply a tourniquet, so he lucked out.
What!? Do you live under a rock? Thats the guy who was shot in the arm by Rittenhouse.
Wearing a Paramedic hat and carrying a gun.(?) Say it aint so!!
I suspect the ‘/sarcasm’ was left out. Either that, or an expectation of a subsequent reply: “I see what you did there”.
Elijah is doing an excellent job, as I follow his reporting on Instagm.
About 2 weeks ago, forget where (Portland?), some turd that was chatting with Elijah while being filmed, a mere 3 feet away, pulled a pistol on Elijah and dry-fired at him.
Lots of folks trying to make sure he is well armed and well armored.
Yeah. Him calling himself a paramedic was suspect. I can call myself King George, but it doesn’t make me so.
