1. Walters was detained after trying to ask a question of Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri Highway

Yeah police would not want to have the world see him !
Johnson shouldn't have complied with them
And wtf I was looking for the reporter in the picture amongst the others in the last photo then realized he is on the bottom piled on by cops!

2. There seems to be plenty of evidence...

... to warrant FBI arresting the local police. Will that happen?... or will Holder just send them a strongly-worded letter?

3. President Obama said that reporters shouldn't be bullied or arrested for doing their jobs....

....and the Ferguson police respond by blatantly, violently kettling, threatening, and arresting journalists.

Houston, we have a problem.
