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.

Trump isn’t in control of what the police did. It is as Cruz said: each person is responsible for their OWN actions.
I do think trying to pin this on Trump - by the Rhodes brothers, no less - indicates a media plan to target Trump for things he is NOT responsible for. That is despicable - when it happens here, and when it happens elsewhere.
reporter says: never witnessed anything like it.
seems to me the motherf***er ought to get out more.
He’s lucky he didn’t spend too much time in a federal outhouse in nowhere, Oregon. They would have gunned him down.
What part do you like?
the libtards somehow blame it on Trump
I do too, if Trump wasn’t out there telling the Truth about all the quisling bastards in our government, there would be no need for violent protests against him.
People under thirty see no threat in that flag; they are the same idiots wearing Che shirts.
So many young people are hopeless; those not addicted to drugs use smartphones as their opium.
These guys don’t know how to riot.
Chicago...it figures....
“we shut them down”!!! yeah Man!! death to free speech!!!!
“we can say anything we want...even Lie...But you can’t say anything...not even object, or oppose”
after we destroy the first amendment...we will go after the second...then we will take it all.
I noticed all the Muslims in the protest crowd...
the Caliphate has arrived....
America has fallen.......
Somebody post YouTube of Dan RaTHeR getting punched out in 68 Dem Convention.
Shouldn’t the title read something like “CBS reporter arrested at the location of a canceled Trump rally by Chicago police who report to President Obama’s friend and former advisor Rahm Emanuel”
“”On tape you see he did not resist, identified himself as working press,” Rhodes said in his tweet.”
Yeah, right, the press never gets in the way and never fails to follow police direction in a chaotic mess, and never becomes part of the story.
Perhaps she can find a sympathetic ear in her fellow colleague, Lara Logan.
deb verbally resisted and then was guilty of physical resistance
he was also lying with dogs and got fleas
The left are trying what they tried in 1968 when there was a managed media and no internet.
Good luck doing this out in the open.
The whole world is watching (and this time understanding).
Who are those wackos? Face masks and tac gear and rifles with suppressors?
There are cowboys being charged with a number of charges, ranging from 5 years to life for doing the same thing.
`Equal protection under law’? Nope. Free speech for me.
But not for thee.
