Journalists have been among those injured during protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles in recent days, as police clashed with crowds of protesters and fired less-lethal munitions to disperse them.
Since confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement first flared over the weekend, more than 30 cases of ¡°police violence¡± against journalists while covering the protests have been reported, according to a database maintained by the Los Angeles Press Club.
The press club includes physical violence as well as efforts to impair journalists¡¯ coverage, such as nonconsensual bag searches, in the category. It updates its database with reports from journalists and incidents reported on social media.
