German journalists arrested in Ferguson
Published 5 days ago in The Local
"This was a very new experience. I've been in several conflict zones: I was in the civil war regions in Georgia, the Gaza strip, illegally visited the Kaliningrad region when travel to the Soviet Union was still strictly prohibited for westerners, I've been in Iraq, Vietnam and in China, I've met Cuba dissidents. But to be arrested and yelled at and be rudely treated by police? For that I had to travel to Ferguson and St. Louis in the United States of America."

Journalists arrested for doing their jobs ... covering LEGAL protests. How can anyone believe the police are not out of control?
