CBS reporter arrested at Trump rally: 'I've never seen anything like what I'm witnessing'
CNN Money ^ | 3/12/2016 | Ahiza Garcia and Brian Stelter

Posted on 03/12/2016 3:32:43 PM PST by NYRepublican72

The president of CBS News is standing by one of the network's journalists who was arrested outside a Donald Trump rally that was canceled amid violence between Trump supporters and protesters. David Rhodes tweeted that journalist Sopan Deb, who was covering the rally at the University of Illinois' Chicago campus on Friday, was handcuffed and charged with resisting arrest.

"On tape you see he did not resist, identified himself as working press," Rhodes said in his tweet.

CBS News also aired footage of the rally and of Deb's arrest, which he managed to capture on tape. In the accompanying article, Deb said police abruptly threw him to the ground and handcuffed him.

Of course, the libtards somehow blame it on Trump, like he and not Obama's former ballerina Senior Adviser is the guy who is in charge of the Chicago PD.

FWIW, David Rhodes's brother, Ben Rhodes, is a member of Bathhouse Barry's inner circle.

Trump never even went to the rally site
Did the reporter ignore what a cop ordered him to do because he thought he was a special snowflake?

“violence between Trump supporters and protesters”

Moral equivalency of attacker and victims. Those who seek to shut down other’s speech are not “protesters”, they are disruptors and thugs.

He needs to speak with Dan Rather about Chicago 68. Those were Democrats, by the way.

He must have because in that situation, the cops don't usually crack heads unless they absolutely have to.

The left wing rats are CREATING a story—not reporting on one. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

From Saul Alinskis Rules for Radicals that fit pretty good for this latest violence. Well orchestrated IMO

For your consideration:

2.“Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.

3.“Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

4.“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.

5.“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concession

6.“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

11.“If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.

This was definitely a put up job, with Barry’s old Communist terrorist pal, Bill Ayres also involved in the planning of this riot.
