Hey I'm Brian Stelter live in New York and this is reliable sources. We are covering the

coverage of twin calamities in America. Cities are cleaning up after the worst weekend

of civil unrest in America since the 1960s. Now when I say

worst I mean the most widely spread with acts of vandalism in at least three dozen

cities since Friday.

Protests in some cases have given way to riots.

Countless injuries among protesters and police officers,

disturbing scenes of looting and fires,

also some disturbing videos of police aggression at

some of these protests. We have reporters and commentators standing by in

Minneapolis, Philly, Baltimore, San Francisco, and elsewhere. We're gonna show with David Zerwick, Jane Coast, and Aaron in 48 hours. The appalling targeting of reporters who are trying to tell America's story.

There is so much that's so wrong about this situation. First and foremost, the video

seemed around the world, the video of George Floyd's final minutes alive. It's so wrong

that it's hard to see, but it is right that we look, it is right that we bear

witness. And it is right to see protesters taking action as a result, but it is right to see protesters taking action as a result.

But it is wrong to see reporters and photographers and news crews being assaulted and

arrested at these protests.

Police firing rubber bullets at reporters

when the reporters are holding up press badges

that doesn't belong in America.

Authorities handcuffing reporters is wrong.

That's what happens in authoritarian regimes not in America.
