A 2002 agreement called for designation of a safe spot for reporters covering news events. LAPD spokeswoman Mary Grady acknowledged reporters were not given "a designated safe spot" at MacArthur Park. "There appears to have been here a failure to communicate," Press Photographers Association local president John McCoy said.

Did they ask for a safe spot? My guess is they wanted to be close to the troublemakers to encourage them.

And simply being as close to the action as possible with their cameras on, would do that.

“Did they ask for a safe spot? My guess is they wanted to be close to the troublemakers to encourage them.”

My guess is that you do a lot of guessing and don’t display much interest in finding out whether you’re wrong.
