#OWS: Bloomberg, NYPD Called Out for Blocking Press Coverage
Countdown guest host David Shuster and Jonathan Turley, constitutional law expert and professor at George Washington University – and a Countdown contributor – analyze Mayor Bloomberg’s claim that the NYPD are keeping the press from the story “so journalists can be safe.” Turley notes, “The problem is that we’re not getting any responsible public officials who are coming forward saying, ‘This is wrong,’” and as a result abuses against protesters often go without penalty: “They can really get away with this.”
