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. Deb was charged with resisting arrest, "although there is no sign of that on the video," according to CBS

Looks like they are attempting to smear Trump with what the police did.

I expect we are not getting the whole stoy.

The story is that it was a rented mob, paid for by the likes of George Soros, made to look like some sort of grassroots uprising. It was not.

A close relative of mine was stationed in Germany during the cold war. Every day, a bus would come over from East Germany to the Western side. 'Protestors' would be handed a sign; they would march around and denounce the US.

These 'protests' did not get regular coverage until Reagan was in office, and then were treated in the US media as if they were the arbiters of Good in the world.

In fact, they would sit on the curb to eat their box lunch, protest a bit more, then board the busses and go home.

The whole thing was orchestrated and the media over there knew it.

Lying, scum sucking partisan hacks, the lot of them.

Rahm Emanuel plus the Ricketts family (Cubs and Wrigley Field)have been trying to trash Trump since Iowa. From Walker to Rubio to Cruz- Rickets puts up more millions to bash trump.

"rally that was canceled amid violence between Trump supporters and protesters."

They are still running with this meme that there was 'violence' being perpetrated (at least partially) by Trump supporters.

Just call it what it is: An attempt by the violent, radical left to shut down and suppress any speech with which they disagree.

The leftist 'rent-a-mob' and their puppetmasters cannot win in the arena of ideas so they need to disrupt scheduled, legal rallies for candidates with whom they disagree by threatening violence, as well as attempting to commit violence as we saw today in Ohio.

This is not a legitimate form of protest, but the media will put the leftist spin on any story involving Trump rallies and campaign stops in order to protect their useful leftist idiots in the free-$hit army.

There has to be a forceful response to this nonsense by these thugs or they will simply become emboldened to ramp up their attacks. Maybe some right-wing protesters should 'disrupt' the clinton & sanders rallies in the same manner. Unfortunately; we are all too busy working, being productive and funding these unwashed miscreants on the left with our tax dollars.

Never seen anything like that? Come on, now, you have not been looking. The press at every level gets roughed up and frog-marched away from the scene on a regular basis, from local reporting all the way up to major media covering stories that SHOULD be of wide interest. Most of the media people have fallen in line with the “rules of engagement”, and are by now a little too timid to actually go out and dig for a story on the well-connected and powerful, because they know what they would be in for. If not from the object of their search, it will come from the editorial staff of whatever news organization they believe themselves to be working for, when their investigative report gets summarily spiked, regardless of its authenticity and documentation. And there is a lot of other “gentler” persuasion, like being taken off to the side and getting a little “friendly” advice, which translates to either take the bribe, or maybe “sumpin BAD might happen, capish’?”

First Amendment rights are being regularly run over roughshod, and every day, as people get “habituated” to the “new normal”, the erosion is accelerating.

We have reached the point where we’d be better off if every MSM reporter was locked up for a good long time.

He might want to have a little chat with Dan Rather.

Poor Dan got smacked in the face in 68.
