Luke Rudkowski, Tim Pool & Crew Detained at Gunpoint by Chicago Police

05/20/2012

Citizen journalists and prolific protest livestreamers, Luke Rudkowski and Tim Pool, who have been covering the NATO protests in Chicago since Thursday, and a group of other streamers were pulled over by Chicago police Sunday morning around 2 a.m. and detained.

Police surround the vehicle that contained the livestreamers and approached with guns drawn.

Pool and his fellow livestreamers turned on their cameras to document the exchage, which lasted about 10 minutes.

The streamers, which included members of the We Are Change channel said the experience was scary, but that the police acted professionally.

After the incident, police told Pool and his comrades that their vehicle matched the description of another vehicle they sought.

Know your rights. Never consent to a search. Ask why you are being detained. Always ask the questions, they are your servants, not the other way around.

The pigs use the "it matches a description: for ANY ILLEGAL STOP THEY MAKE!

Its bullshit, I know first hand, they tell us in training. The pigs can use, YOU or the VEHICLE matches a description, its a lie 99% of the time. ASK TO SEE THE PAPERWORK ASK TO SEE THE REPORT. THIS IS AGAINST OUR RIGHTS AND THESE TREASONOUS BASTARDS WILL BE TRIED FOR TREASON SOON ENOUGH.

exactly. most local news stations aren't directly owned and managed by NBC Universal Media (NBC Network). They are only an affiliate of NBC. NBC 5 Chicago is owned by Broadcast Interactive Media which is an independently owned media group. Much like how Libertarian Ben Swann's Reality Check segment in FOX 19 Cincinnati isn't censored by the FOX Network because FOX doesn't manage that local station.

Negative. The police was right. The car matched exactly the description. And indeed it WAS the car carrying Luke and Tim. There was nor error or lie by the police.

[MrRBALLZ13]

I agree. I doubt NBC would 'really' cover that...
