In this news article about the current protests I saw a
comment about the (eventual) shooters being confronted about taking video of
the sit in. This post isn't in any way meant to condone what happened last
night, or explain why things went the way they did, only to comment on the
photo and video statement made in the article.

As a photographer myself I'm worried about this trend and
would like to remind people that we have a right to video and photograph, for
editorial (news) use, pretty much anything that happens in a public space. We
don't really need to give a reason, explanation, or show images to anyone
confronting us. This doesn’t mean we need to insight confrontation, or escalate
the situation when asked about what we’re doing, but that we need to stand firm
to a degree in defending our rights.
