CBS Reporter Arrested At Trump Rally: 'I've Never Seen Anything Like What I'm Witnessing' by Ahiza Garcia and Brian Stelter @CNNMoney March 12, 2016:
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.

‘I’ve Never Seen Anything Like What I’m Witnessing’
It’s going to get worse, mark my words.

Wonderful news. He was part of the communist disruption and resisted arrest!! UNDER THE JAIL!!
He’s lucky he didn’t spend too much time in a federal outhouse in nowhere, Oregon. They’d have gunned him down.
since he had no camera man, was he working press
So the head of CBS wasn’t around in 1968 when they tried to pull this on the Dems?
He needs to call Democrat Mayor Rahm.
Apparently not.
Looks like they are attempting to smear Trump with what the police did.
I expect we are not getting the whole stoy.
David Rhodes, the brother of Ben Rhodes, one of Obama’s national security honchos?
