Fairfax Police Chief Defends Officers Who Took Down Reporter Arrested For Cursing
Fairfax Police Chief Defends Officers Who Took Down Reporter Arrested For Cursing
BY RACHEL KURZIUS IN NEWS ON NOV 1, 2017 11:18 AM
The Fairfax County Police Chief is defending officers who used force during the arrest of a reporter for cursing at an Annandale parade on Saturday.
....
The incident in question was captured on video and published by Shareblue, the Democratic-aligned news site owned by Media Matters founder David Brock, which employs reporter Mike Stark.
Stark has been following Ed Gillespie around the commonwealth during his rather stealthy campaign as the Republican candidate for Virginia governor. The video begins with Stark and an officer talking as the parade is about to begin.
Roessler said that the officer was trying to get Stark back on the sidewalk.
