WASHINGTON - U.S. law enforcement authorities in recent days have charged four people with various offenses targeting journalists, including theft and destruction of their camera gear as the journalists covered the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
More than 500 of the estimated 800 people who stormed past authorities to enter the Capitol during the chaos that occurred as lawmakers were certifying the Electoral College victory of Democrat Joe Biden have been charged with an array of offenses, including assaults on police.
But the latest arrests are possibly the first in which suspects have been accused of singling out journalists or trying to destroy their equipment as they reported on the violence. Five people died during the day and in the immediate aftermath, including one protester who was fatally shot by police.
