For their jobs, L.A. Times journalists Carolyn Cole and Molly Hennessy-Fiske have traveled to war zones and reported from dangerous areas including Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the veteran journalists say they never encountered anything like what happened on May 30 in Minneapolis when state troopers cornered and attacked them while they were covering a protest after the police killing of George Floyd.
This week, photographer Cole and Hennessy-Fiske, The Times Houston bureau chief, sued Minnesota State Patrol officers, saying they violated their 1st Amendment rights. They are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
