Can Mitchell be detained for reporting while boneheaded?

I guess she missed the white reporter who was arrested. https://t.co/Mga0WjgzeU#LeanForward

Last night, along with WaPo’s Wesley Lowery, HuffPo’s Ryan Reilly was arrested by police in Ferguson. According to Lowery, Reilly was assaulted as well. Oh, and Reilly is white.

@mitchellreports @washingtonpost @WesleyLowery Yes and the guy from HufPo was reporting while white. Quit stoking the flames.

But if she couldn’t stoke the flames, how else would she spend her time?

@DanFosterType "reporting while fucking ignorant" shld be a firing offense as well. Fanning the flames.
