Journalism arrested, Phoenix

As reporter Dion Rabouin was interviewing people on the street outside an office of Chase Bank in Phoenix, a bank employee asked him what he was doing. Soon a Phoenix thug showed up, handcuffed him with no apparant excuse, and made him sit in a police car, threatening violence along the way.

Someone made a video of this harassment, and the thug threatened to arrest per as well.

It is common in the US for thugs to arrest journalists for recording how they treat members of the public. It is less common for cops to come and threaten reporters for journailsm that does not involve cops at all.

The reporter worked for the powerful Wall Street Journal, which has demanded explanations.
