Arresting a reporter while doing her job is outrageous. The charges against @josie_huang should be dropped and @lasd should apologize immediately. 1/

The dept has had an incredibly stressful night. Josie& #39;s arrest occurred a few hours after two deputies were shot. 2/

But the arrest of @josie_huang is just the latest in a series of troubling interactions between our reporters and local law enforcement. They’ve been tear gassed, shot by a rubber bullet in the throat and had guns pointed at them. 3/

When law enforcement officers demonstrate a lack of respect towards journalists, it put our democratic society is at risk. 4/4
