On October 3, protesters in St. Louis shut down Highway 40, marching on the interstate and blocking traffic. The demonstration was a response to the acquittal in September of of Jason Stockley, a white former St. Louis police officer who in 2011 fatally shot Anthony Lamar Smith, a black man. Chariton and Bayliss followed the group and interviewed protesters as they marched on the highway. After the group of protesters exited the highway, lines of police officers enclosed them in a “kettle” and then ordered them to sit on the ground and began to arrest them. Chariton, Bayliss and other journalists covering the march were also arrested. “Our reporter @JordanChariton and cameraman/editor Ty Bayliss have been arrested by St. Louis Police. Clear violation of first amendment,” TYT founder and host Cenk Uygur tweeted. “TYT reporter & cameraman were covering St. Louis protests when police surrounded them and arrested them. We demand their immediate release.””* Read more here: https://pressfreedomtracker.us/all-incidents/tyt-cameraman-ty-bayliss-arrested-st-louis/ Hosts: Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, and Ron Placone Cast: Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore, and Ron Placone *** The Largest Online News Show in the World.
