While Breonna Taylor rioters are busy setting fires in Louisville and shooting cops (we’ve seen reports of two so far), there are marches and protests happening in cities across the U.S., and Ford Fischer of news2share.com reports that “activists” in Washington, D.C., are checking journalists’ media credentials and social media accounts and giving glow bracelets to identify the ones that were granted their approval. No livestreaming, though.
If they have someone to hand out glow bracelets, they’re organized — it’s no “spontaneous protest.”
The activists are looking at individual media credentials and social media accounts and giving out glow bracelets to ones they approve of.
They forbid livestreaming. At least for the time being, I will refrain from streaming for my safety and add updates here. pic.twitter.com/GT1IFJM1Cx

Washington DC. Antifa militants are screening journalists to remove “unapproved” reporters who film their violent activities. https://t.co/NAM0kdJn3x

"Mostly peaceful" except for the part about destroying the First Amendment on a public street, so that they don't get filmed doing the "non-peaceful" stuff they are more interested in doing. https://t.co/JCNLvrIHFQ

Would you *want* to be "credentialed" by these terrorists? https://t.co/OgnWuCLB8W

They want transparency for police, judiciary system and politicians but NOT for them

All police who haven’t been defunded are mandated to wear body cameras, but “activists” can shut down video.
They would only do that if they were planning something illegal.

Reason’s Robby Soave says he was instructed (nicely) not to take pictures.

The terrorists don’t want anyone documenting them. https://t.co/IUA2aMpa4J

Unreasonable expectation of privacy.

Which you hopefully ignored.

I hope you nicely declined their request.

I hope you ignored them (nicely).

Well everything was extremely calm until a guy with a baseball bat did this to the Starbucks off DuPont Circle. As I took this photo a protester with a black umbrella tried to block me. pic.twitter.com/tvEk2qb2BM
— Robby Soave (@robbysoave) September 24, 2020
Happened right in front me, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Afterward I tried to reassure umbrella man that I didn’t have a photo of the window smashing guy. “What guy?” he says.

At least someone got video of that U-Haul truck in Louisville loaded with shields and signs and other rioting supplies.
