While it’s troubling to see the NYPD trying to rewrite the history of its journalist arrests, it’s more concerning to see them trying to rewrite our freedoms.
One of the most important characteristics of the Occupy movement is the expanding universe of media makers --citizen journalists, livestreamers, artists and others.
