“Direna had a camera in her hand and I had a microphone, and we were being hit,” she said. “When I fell to the ground I said at one point, ‘I’m just covering this! I’m covering this!’ And the officer just said, ‘Come on, get up, get up,’ before pulling me up by my jacket.’” “The protesters came up to me right away and asked if I needed any medical assistance. They were actually very kind and helpful. It was the police officers who were very aggressive,” Fields added.
Fields is the same Daily Caller reporter who faced off with Matt Damon earlier this year and got her head handed to her (righteous video below the Orange Squiggle of Power).
This is how you win, Occupiers. When the police start smacking right-wing-rag reporters around, and the Occupiers come to the rescue ... the memes shift, and sympathy increases.
