Isn't Reason.TV a lefty site?
I don't understand why a reporter would get arrested for doing his job. Since when is it a crime to take a pic of a public meeting meeting. I have seen a pic of public meetings whether on TV or in the newspaper.
I think it has to do with photographing law enforcement while they're "doing their job".

I am not questioning Epstein's arrest, I was questioning Tucker's arrest...for taking a still life pic of the proceedings
