You're up early! In case there was any doubt about the media, a photographer working for the LA Times was arrested over the weekend for throwing rocks at police and then photographing the action. MIAMI (AP) ? Four news photographers were among the hundreds arrested in the Little Havana protests, including a woman working for the Los Angeles Times who police said threw several rocks at police and then photographed the action. Carolyn Cole, 38, was arrested on felony charges of throwing deadly missiles, Miami Police Det. Delrish Moss said Sunday. She faces up to five years if convicted, he said. Cole "was seen throwing two or three rocks and then picked up her camera and proceeded to take photographs," Moss said. Times Editor Michael Parks said Sunday that the newspaper is seeking immediate dismissal of the charge against Cole. "Carolyn Cole was covering the protests in Miami as a news photographer, not participating in them, and her photographs published in the Times make that clear," Parks said in a statement. "In arresting Cole and detaining her for more than eight hours before releasing her on bond, Miami police prevented her from continuing to report a story of national importance," Parks said. "We see this as an abridgment of the people's right to know under the Constitution." A photo by Cole appeared on the front page of Sunday's paper, and several ran inside. The paper also reported her arrest at the end of a longer article. Moss said three other photographers were arrested on charges that ranged from misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct to a felony charge of battery on a police officer. He did not have confirmation of the news outlets they worked for. ??? washingtonpost.com
