I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

(Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The court is ruling on an appeal of Judge Vaughn Walker’s now-famous August, 2010 decision to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban because it violated the \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/Equal_protection\">Equal Protection Clause\u003c/a> of the U.S. Constitution. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/goodasyou/d/35374462-California-Prop-8-Ruling-August-2010\">Read that decision here\u003c/a>.) It will also rule on a motion by Prop 8 proponents to have the Walker decision vacated on the grounds that he should have recused himself from the case because of his own long-term, same-sex relationship. That \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/06/14/judge-denies-motion-to-vacate-walker-prop-8-ruling/\">motion failed in a lower court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 8 was challenged by two same-sex couples, who sued to have it overturned. That led to Judge Walker’s decision. (You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/03/scott-shafer-interviews-perry-of-perry-v-schwarzenegger-prop-8-case/\">listen to Scott Shafer’s interview with one of those plaintiffs, Kris Perry, here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the court uphold Walker’s nullification of Prop 8, does that mean same-sex couples will now be able to get married? Highly unlikely. As the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19903900\">Mercury News’ Howard Mintz reports\u003c/a>: “Legal experts predict that even if the appeals court upholds Walker and strikes down Proposition 8, the judges are likely to put their ruling on hold to give Proposition 8 defenders an opportunity to appeal further. As a result, same-sex couples are likely to have to wait still longer for the right to wed in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cem>Update 7:02 p.m.\u003c/em> Also from \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19905426?source=rss&cid=dlvr.it\">Howard Mintz\u003c/a>: “The losing side can ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case with an 11-judge panel, a process known as en banc review. A majority of the 9th Circuit’s two dozen full-time judges must vote to rehear a case en banc, but this often occurs in high-profile cases where there is disagreement within the court. The losing side has 14 days to ask for such a rehearing. If the 9th Circuit refuses to grant the request, the next step is the U.S. Supreme Court.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/02/06/timeline-the-long-battle-over-same-sex-marriage-in-california/\">Timeline: Same-Sex Marriage in California\u003c/a>\u003c/strong> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>To look at just one aspect of the constitutional merits or lack of same addressed at the Ninth Circuit hearing, check out the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/2010/12/06/prop-8-appeal-now-its-up-to-the-judges/\">report on KQED’s Prop 8 blog\u003c/a> by Dan Brekke, written after the December, 2010 hearing. He pulled the following \u003ca href=\"http://prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">analysis\u003c/a> about the constitutional question from Brian Leubitz, publisher of the Calitics blog, who wrote for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">Prop 8 Trial Tracker\u003c/a>, a pro same-sex marriage site. Leubitz focused on an exchange between Judge N. Randy Smith and attorney Charles Cooper, representing the proponents of Proposition 8, over the significance of the word “marriage”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Judge Smith focused a couple times on whether the State of California was in a worse position for having passed Prop 8 because it has given all of the same rights and privileges under the auspices of the domestic partnership statute. In other words, if we are only fighting over a word, and no substantive differences at the state level, aren’t we essentially creating a subclass? And roughly transcribed, here’s what [Charles] Cooper [attorney for Prop. 8 proponents] said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper: The word is the institution. If you redefine the word, you change the institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually think this was a big moment of the oral argument. It said that yes, the anti-equality forces were there only to “put down” gays and lesbians, or as San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart said, [from my rough notes]…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the word is the institution, then the argument is just that gays and lesbians would “stain” the institution. The fact that Prop 8 is symbolic, it makes the insult obvious. This is classification for its own sake, and it violates the equal protection clause. Taking these components together, it infers animus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we only passed Prop 8 to show that same-sex couples aren’t as good, or as worthy as other couples, then isn’t the equal protection argument plain to see? It reveals the naked schoolyard taunting aspect of Prop 8. Nah-nanny-boo boo, you aren’t as good as me. And frankly, nanny-boo-boo isn’t a valid use of state authority.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brekke continued…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Theodore Olson, representing the plaintiffs trying to overturn Prop. 8, also took note of “the word.” He started his argument with a bang, saying “this court should focus on the fundamental fact that California has engraved discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation into its fundamental governing charter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson stressed that the character of Proposition 8 went beyond simply prohibiting same-sex marriage because it reversed a right established by the state Supreme Court in 2008. (For you California initiative history fans, he cited a case from the 1960s, Reitman v. Mulkey, in which the state high court–affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court–struck down a state initiative that encouraged discrimination in housing sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge N. Randy Smith suggested the state might indeed have a rational basis for observing a distinction between opposite-sex and same-sex couples—a suggestion Olson rejected. The judge persisted, leading Olson to seize on Cooper’s “the word is the institution” argument:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith: Now just sit the question—the idea of distinguishing marriages from domestic partnerships in name only, to promote it as a vehicle for procreation, all else being equal, children likely to thrive when raised by father and mother who brought them into this world—that it is irrational?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson: Yes. In the first place, Mr. Cooper specifically said just a few moments ago ‘the name is the institution.’ Those are his words virtually verbatim. The name is the institution, and the witnesses at this trial, the witnesses that came forward and were willing to be cross-examined and were willing to testify under oath, not the law review articles and so forth that were put forth by the proponents, but the witnesses that came forward in this case, and the plaintiffs and other witnesses in this case talked about what marriage meant to them and what it means in this society as an institution. Not just what the [California] Supreme Court said, but we had what the plaintiffs said, what the experts said, what the Supreme Court said, and what the district court found. And there’s nothing that would suggest that children would thrive in a better way in that environment. In fact, the proponents’ expert, Mr. Blankenhorn, testified that the children in those relationships [same-sex households] would be better off, that we would be a better country, that we would be closer to the American ideal, if same-sex marriage were permitted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To review the 9th Circuit appeal further, check out Dan Brekke \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/prop8/2010/12/06/proposition-8-appeals-hearing-live-blog/\">live-blog of the oral arguments\u003c/a> that day, while also watching this \u003ca href=\"http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/296911-1\">video replay\u003c/a> from C-SPAN.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Scott Shafer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The court is ruling on an appeal of Judge Vaughn Walker’s now-famous August, 2010 decision to overturn California’s same-sex marriage ban because it violated the \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/Equal_protection\">Equal Protection Clause\u003c/a> of the U.S. Constitution. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.scribd.com/goodasyou/d/35374462-California-Prop-8-Ruling-August-2010\">Read that decision here\u003c/a>.) It will also rule on a motion by Prop 8 proponents to have the Walker decision vacated on the grounds that he should have recused himself from the case because of his own long-term, same-sex relationship. That \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/06/14/judge-denies-motion-to-vacate-walker-prop-8-ruling/\">motion failed in a lower court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop 8 was challenged by two same-sex couples, who sued to have it overturned. That led to Judge Walker’s decision. (You can \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2010/12/03/scott-shafer-interviews-perry-of-perry-v-schwarzenegger-prop-8-case/\">listen to Scott Shafer’s interview with one of those plaintiffs, Kris Perry, here\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should the court uphold Walker’s nullification of Prop 8, does that mean same-sex couples will now be able to get married? Highly unlikely. As the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19903900\">Mercury News’ Howard Mintz reports\u003c/a>: “Legal experts predict that even if the appeals court upholds Walker and strikes down Proposition 8, the judges are likely to put their ruling on hold to give Proposition 8 defenders an opportunity to appeal further. As a result, same-sex couples are likely to have to wait still longer for the right to wed in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(\u003cem>Update 7:02 p.m.\u003c/em> Also from \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/samesexmarriage/ci_19905426?source=rss&cid=dlvr.it\">Howard Mintz\u003c/a>: “The losing side can ask the 9th Circuit to rehear the case with an 11-judge panel, a process known as en banc review. A majority of the 9th Circuit’s two dozen full-time judges must vote to rehear a case en banc, but this often occurs in high-profile cases where there is disagreement within the court. The losing side has 14 days to ask for such a rehearing. If the 9th Circuit refuses to grant the request, the next step is the U.S. Supreme Court.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He pulled the following \u003ca href=\"http://prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">analysis\u003c/a> about the constitutional question from Brian Leubitz, publisher of the Calitics blog, who wrote for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.prop8trialtracker.com/2010/12/06/flash-analysis-standing-romer-word/\">Prop 8 Trial Tracker\u003c/a>, a pro same-sex marriage site. Leubitz focused on an exchange between Judge N. Randy Smith and attorney Charles Cooper, representing the proponents of Proposition 8, over the significance of the word “marriage”:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Judge Smith focused a couple times on whether the State of California was in a worse position for having passed Prop 8 because it has given all of the same rights and privileges under the auspices of the domestic partnership statute. In other words, if we are only fighting over a word, and no substantive differences at the state level, aren’t we essentially creating a subclass? And roughly transcribed, here’s what [Charles] Cooper [attorney for Prop. 8 proponents] said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cooper: The word is the institution. If you redefine the word, you change the institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I actually think this was a big moment of the oral argument. It said that yes, the anti-equality forces were there only to “put down” gays and lesbians, or as San Francisco Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart said, [from my rough notes]…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the word is the institution, then the argument is just that gays and lesbians would “stain” the institution. The fact that Prop 8 is symbolic, it makes the insult obvious. This is classification for its own sake, and it violates the equal protection clause. Taking these components together, it infers animus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we only passed Prop 8 to show that same-sex couples aren’t as good, or as worthy as other couples, then isn’t the equal protection argument plain to see? It reveals the naked schoolyard taunting aspect of Prop 8. Nah-nanny-boo boo, you aren’t as good as me. And frankly, nanny-boo-boo isn’t a valid use of state authority.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Brekke continued…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Theodore Olson, representing the plaintiffs trying to overturn Prop. 8, also took note of “the word.” He started his argument with a bang, saying “this court should focus on the fundamental fact that California has engraved discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation into its fundamental governing charter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson stressed that the character of Proposition 8 went beyond simply prohibiting same-sex marriage because it reversed a right established by the state Supreme Court in 2008. (For you California initiative history fans, he cited a case from the 1960s, Reitman v. Mulkey, in which the state high court–affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court–struck down a state initiative that encouraged discrimination in housing sales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge N. Randy Smith suggested the state might indeed have a rational basis for observing a distinction between opposite-sex and same-sex couples—a suggestion Olson rejected. The judge persisted, leading Olson to seize on Cooper’s “the word is the institution” argument:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith: Now just sit the question—the idea of distinguishing marriages from domestic partnerships in name only, to promote it as a vehicle for procreation, all else being equal, children likely to thrive when raised by father and mother who brought them into this world—that it is irrational?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Olson: Yes. In the first place, Mr. Cooper specifically said just a few moments ago ‘the name is the institution.’ Those are his words virtually verbatim. The name is the institution, and the witnesses at this trial, the witnesses that came forward and were willing to be cross-examined and were willing to testify under oath, not the law review articles and so forth that were put forth by the proponents, but the witnesses that came forward in this case, and the plaintiffs and other witnesses in this case talked about what marriage meant to them and what it means in this society as an institution. Not just what the [California] Supreme Court said, but we had what the plaintiffs said, what the experts said, what the Supreme Court said, and what the district court found. And there’s nothing that would suggest that children would thrive in a better way in that environment. In fact, the proponents’ expert, Mr. Blankenhorn, testified that the children in those relationships [same-sex households] would be better off, that we would be a better country, that we would be closer to the American ideal, if same-sex marriage were permitted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was getting to a point where he was getting a little irritable. From what I've heard since, she hadn't given him a ticket. He said something about 'are you going to arrest me,' something like that, and the next thing I heard was a shot and a scream of agony from him as he fell on his back. He seemed to be out for two or three minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unconscious?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn't respond at all to what she was saying to him, 'get over on your stomach,' because she wanted to handcuff him. She finally did handcuff him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then about at that time, some other law enforcement people came. At some point he managed to talk to us, there were three of us watching, me and two bystanders who had been there before me. He managed to shout to us, 'please take my dogs,' he didn't want them to go with the enforcement people. I moved fowrard to do that, and the ranger said, 'stand back,' so i backed off; I knew she was armed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then when these other enforcement people came, one of them who was a woman came over with the dogs and handed them to the other two bystanders, a young couple. And that is where I made my exit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're sort of shaking your head like this rattled you...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It did rattle me. I've never seen anything like it. I'm 77 years old, never had such an emotional reaction to something. I didn't know if the guy was dying. For a leash on a dog...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The park people say the reason she tasered him is because he was resisting apprehension. She kept asking him to stop and he kept not stopping. Do you have any sense of that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was not moving in her direction at all, he was moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did it strike you as an excessive use of force?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Extremely.

It was getting to a point where he was getting a little irritable. From what I've heard since, she hadn't given him a ticket. He said something about 'are you going to arrest me,' something like that, and the next thing I heard was a shot and a scream of agony from him as he fell on his back. He seemed to be out for two or three minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Unconscious?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He didn't respond at all to what she was saying to him, 'get over on your stomach,' because she wanted to handcuff him. She finally did handcuff him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then about at that time, some other law enforcement people came. At some point he managed to talk to us, there were three of us watching, me and two bystanders who had been there before me. He managed to shout to us, 'please take my dogs,' he didn't want them to go with the enforcement people. I moved fowrard to do that, and the ranger said, 'stand back,' so i backed off; I knew she was armed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then when these other enforcement people came, one of them who was a woman came over with the dogs and handed them to the other two bystanders, a young couple. And that is where I made my exit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You're sort of shaking your head like this rattled you...\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It did rattle me. I've never seen anything like it. I'm 77 years old, never had such an emotional reaction to something. I didn't know if the guy was dying. For a leash on a dog...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The park people say the reason she tasered him is because he was resisting apprehension. She kept asking him to stop and he kept not stopping. Do you have any sense of that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was not moving in her direction at all, he was moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did it strike you as an excessive use of force?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Extremely.

In past protests, the technique always proved successful. But this time, no officer said a word. One pointed back in the direction of the protesters, refusing to let me leave. Another issued a notice that everyone in the area was under arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wound up in a back corner of the space between the YMCA and a neighboring building, where I met Vivian Ho of the San Francisco Chronicle and Kristin Hanes of KGO Radio. After it became clear that we would probably have to wait for hours there as police arrested hundreds of people packed tightly in front of us, we maneuvered our way to the front of the kettle to display our press credentials once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Hanes displayed hers, an officer shook his head. \"That's not an Oakland pass,\" he told her. \"You're getting arrested.\" (She had a press pass issued by San Francisco, but not Oakland, police.) Another officer rejected my credentials, and I began interviewing soon-to-be-arrested protesters standing nearby. About five minutes later, an officer grabbed my arm and zip-tied me. Around the same time, Ho was also apprehended.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I waited in line to be processed and transported to jail, Ho approached me with an officer who had released her from custody. The two explained to my arresting officer that I was with the media. \"Oh, he's with the media?\" the officer replied, although I had already repeatedly told him as much and my credentials had been plainly visible all night. He appeared ready to release me, until a nearby officer piped in, without explanation: \"He's getting arrested.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, before I was loaded on a police bus with 48 protesters, another officer told a protester in front of me that he should have left after police issued dispersal orders. When I told the officer that I had attempted to do just that, he asked, \"How long have you been out here today?\" \"Since about 1:30.\" Flashing a smile and telling me that he didn't care I was a reporter, he replied, \"We've been issuing dispersal orders all day.\" Kettled protesters claimed that no orders were issued until they had no means of escape, but in either case the orders were difficult to hear over the commotion of the crowd. \u003ca href=\"http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/journalists-arrested-occupy-oakland\">Read the full article here\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Aronsen spent about an hour in jail before a call to police from his editor prompted his release. \"You probably shouldn't have been in here to begin with,\" he reports an OPD sergeant telling him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, who was \u003ca href=\"http://www.thisiswhatconcernsme.com/2011/11/04/occupy-county-jail/\">arrested and detained for 15 hours\u003c/a> during the Occupy Oakland general strike in early November, but managed to avoid jail this time, posts this exchange with OPD spokesperson Johnna Watson about Saturday's encounters between the media and police:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Hi Johnna, Please give me a call when you can — I have several questions for the OPD regarding yesterday’s Occupy actions, including handling of the press.

They included representatives of the San Francisco Chronicle, KGO radio news, East Bay Express, Mother Jones magazine and the SF Bay Guardian. Despite repeatedly identifying themselves as members of the media, two were jailed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some wore official Oakland Police Department press credentials; others wore credentials from the San Francisco Police Department or from their assigning publications, a customary practice among working journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although several journalists were released quickly on the scene, others were held for long periods of time, making it impossible for them to do their jobs. Numerous reports from the scene document officers ignoring reporters presenting their press credentials and admonishing them for not following orders to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This despite the OPD's own guidelines, which state, \"Even after a dispersal order has been given, clearly identified media shall be permitted to carry out their professional duties in any area where arrests are being made unless their presence would unduly interfere with the enforcement action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this fall, many of us individually and collectively contacted the city to ask for a response to reports that plainly credentialed journalists had been detained and in some cases jailed covering Occupy protests. In another incident, police grabbed at a camera belonging to an Oakland Tribune photojournalist, breaking off the flash and throwing it the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom of the press is key to our democracy and must be vigorously defended. Arrests and other police interference with working journalists cannot be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We therefore request a meeting with city and police department leaders to discuss training, monitoring and other remedies ensure that police no longer detain, harass, or otherwise block journalists from doing their jobs by reporting breaking news in the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have questions about this request, please let us know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernie Lunzer\u003cbr>\nPresident, The Newspaper Guild-CWA\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, one of the detained journalists mentioned above, posted \u003ca href=\"http://susie-c.tumblr.com/post/16739064654/some-of-the-choice-audio-from-my-latest-arrest-at\">audio of her encounter with police\u003c/a>.

In past protests, the technique always proved successful. But this time, no officer said a word. One pointed back in the direction of the protesters, refusing to let me leave. Another issued a notice that everyone in the area was under arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wound up in a back corner of the space between the YMCA and a neighboring building, where I met Vivian Ho of the San Francisco Chronicle and Kristin Hanes of KGO Radio. After it became clear that we would probably have to wait for hours there as police arrested hundreds of people packed tightly in front of us, we maneuvered our way to the front of the kettle to display our press credentials once more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Hanes displayed hers, an officer shook his head. \"That's not an Oakland pass,\" he told her. \"You're getting arrested.\" (She had a press pass issued by San Francisco, but not Oakland, police.) Another officer rejected my credentials, and I began interviewing soon-to-be-arrested protesters standing nearby. About five minutes later, an officer grabbed my arm and zip-tied me. Around the same time, Ho was also apprehended.*\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I waited in line to be processed and transported to jail, Ho approached me with an officer who had released her from custody. The two explained to my arresting officer that I was with the media. \"Oh, he's with the media?\" the officer replied, although I had already repeatedly told him as much and my credentials had been plainly visible all night. He appeared ready to release me, until a nearby officer piped in, without explanation: \"He's getting arrested.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, before I was loaded on a police bus with 48 protesters, another officer told a protester in front of me that he should have left after police issued dispersal orders. When I told the officer that I had attempted to do just that, he asked, \"How long have you been out here today?\" \"Since about 1:30.\" Flashing a smile and telling me that he didn't care I was a reporter, he replied, \"We've been issuing dispersal orders all day.\" Kettled protesters claimed that no orders were issued until they had no means of escape, but in either case the orders were difficult to hear over the commotion of the crowd. \u003ca href=\"http://motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/journalists-arrested-occupy-oakland\">Read the full article here\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Aronsen spent about an hour in jail before a call to police from his editor prompted his release. \"You probably shouldn't have been in here to begin with,\" he reports an OPD sergeant telling him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They included representatives of the San Francisco Chronicle, KGO radio news, East Bay Express, Mother Jones magazine and the SF Bay Guardian. Despite repeatedly identifying themselves as members of the media, two were jailed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some wore official Oakland Police Department press credentials; others wore credentials from the San Francisco Police Department or from their assigning publications, a customary practice among working journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although several journalists were released quickly on the scene, others were held for long periods of time, making it impossible for them to do their jobs. Numerous reports from the scene document officers ignoring reporters presenting their press credentials and admonishing them for not following orders to disperse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This despite the OPD's own guidelines, which state, \"Even after a dispersal order has been given, clearly identified media shall be permitted to carry out their professional duties in any area where arrests are being made unless their presence would unduly interfere with the enforcement action.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this fall, many of us individually and collectively contacted the city to ask for a response to reports that plainly credentialed journalists had been detained and in some cases jailed covering Occupy protests. In another incident, police grabbed at a camera belonging to an Oakland Tribune photojournalist, breaking off the flash and throwing it the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freedom of the press is key to our democracy and must be vigorously defended. Arrests and other police interference with working journalists cannot be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We therefore request a meeting with city and police department leaders to discuss training, monitoring and other remedies ensure that police no longer detain, harass, or otherwise block journalists from doing their jobs by reporting breaking news in the city of Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have questions about this request, please let us know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sincerely,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bernie Lunzer\u003cbr>\nPresident, The Newspaper Guild-CWA\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Susie Cagle, one of the detained journalists mentioned above, posted \u003ca href=\"http://susie-c.tumblr.com/post/16739064654/some-of-the-choice-audio-from-my-latest-arrest-at\">audio of her encounter with police\u003c/a>.
