Excerpt from article at website above:

The officer took Evans' press badge, threw it on the ground and said he
didn’t care if Evans was media, Evans said.

If it weren’t for his protective gear – goggles, respiratory mask and
helmet – Evans said he would have been badly injured.

“It’s egregious, it’s horrific,” he said. “We are nothing as a society, as
a democracy, without a free press and it’s constantly being challenged and
constantly being abused.”
