T HE WRONG person went on trial in Des Moines, Iowa, this week. Andrea Sahouri, a journalist for the Des Moines Register, testified in court on March 9th about her rough treatment her lawyer called it “assault” by a policeman last year. Along with a colleague, she had been observing a protest against police violence and racial injustice on May 31st. Though she stood away from protesters, a policeman in helmet and gas mask rushed up and, without warning, she says, “grabbed me, pepper-sprayed me.” Even as she called out “I’m press, I’m press,” he handcuffed her and a friend. Her colleague and a passing television camera crew both identified her as a journalist, to no avail.
