The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and 64 media organizations have sent a letter to the LA County Sheriff’s Department today condemning the arrest of Kpcc/LAist reporter Josie Huang.
Huang was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice on Sept. 12 after the Saturday night shooting of two L.A. County Sheriffs. A crowd of agitators gathered outside St. Francis Medical Center, where the shooting victims were taken. The crowd blocked the emergency entrance and exit and chanted, “We hope they die,” the sheriff’s department said in a tweet. Huang states she was merely trying to cover the volatile scene when she was arrested.
The letter called for obstruction charge against her to be dropped and for the department to take steps to avoid future arrests of working media members. Earlier, SAG-AFTRA also protested Huang’s arrest.

Within an hour of boarding a Milwaukee-bound Megabus in Chicago on Sunday, the wheels started to come off Lucas Peterson’s trip — first metaphorically, then literally. After the bus’ driver pulled over to the side of the highway multiple times, the contributor to the Times’ Frugal Traveler blog and his fellow passengers were on their way back to Chicago in order to switch buses. Then, a tire blew out. Peterson groused on.
