Mr. Paterson (the reporter) explains at 0:30-49 that the city's barricades were set up in such a way to sequester the media away from the protestors.
Our founding fathers knew how important it was for the press to report the news, especially news such as this that the First Amendment clearly says: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

"We'll be waiting to hear how that goes"
I know you will. You'll be in jail while I enjoy my right to vote on laws and governing peoples.
"He did what he was ASKED (told) to do, and he got his story."
Why do you insist on putting words into people's mouths to fit your own agenda. I can think of a group in history who did that well, causing a lot of genocide. He said "Asked". If he was "told", he would have reported "told".

So the media is not allowed to speak to protester?
The is not America-this is GOPAmerica. See you later free press.
Are we going to just take this?
I'm not!

"because I know how the law works and I know how to change it."
Well at the very least you understand that the law needs to be changed and you know how to change it.... Good! Get to work on that. We'll be waiting to hear how that goes.
"so intimidating that he stuck around and they were walking right around him"
He did what he was ASKED (told) to do, and he got his story. It seems he, also, knows how the law "works" and found a way around it.

"intimidating riot gear & fingering the trigger of your pepper-spray weapon."
Yeah, so intimidating that he stuck around and they were walking right around him. He looked in fear of his life.
"Wake up, man. Next time it might be you"
Keep living in your dream drama world, "it" will never be me because I know how the law works and I know how to change it.

It's unconstitutional if you "ASK" them not to speak to the protestors while wearing your intimidating riot gear & fingering the trigger of your pepper-spray weapon.
We all know how the media was targeted by law enforcemtn during the DNC/RNC. Civil liberties were being violated left & right, & a lot of it's on film. Look around at the hundreds if not thousands of video clips depicting the Law's unlawfulness here on YouTube if you're in doubt.
Wake up, man. Next time it might be you . . .

"Asking the media"
It's unconstitutional to ask? Please show me where it says that in the U.S. Constitution. Also, please tell me how a request is a violation of "every right". Might it be possible that you're looking for a reason to rage against the machine? About the "free speech zone", you apparently haven't heard about the violence in other parts of the city during... protests.

Rickrocker: unless you're blind, you'll see that these people were marching behind a fence which was set up by the city to maintain them within a "free speech zone."
No one in this clip was blocking traffic or being violent.
The mayor of St. Paul said that out of the thousands who came to the city to lawfully & peacefully engage in protest, only a handful broke any laws.
Asking the media not to speak to protestors is unconstitutional. They have every right to speak to them.

"the whole idea behind political protesting is to influence people."
Influence them to break laws?
"protects such activities"
Can I see the permit supplied by the city that allows these people to block traffic and which streets?
Again, the reporter said he was "ASKED" not to talk to these people as not to encourage the violence that was in the news following. Unless, you're in denial.

rickrocker: the whole idea behind political protesting is to influence people. The Constitution and Bill of Rights protects such activities. Governmental (police) interference with free speech and peaceful assembly is unconstitutional.
