"Sure, the reporter should have known the risks, but that doesn't excuse the police spraying him in the face when all he did was report on what was going on." Your assumption. but you don't recognize the reporter deliberately inserted himself into: "the rabble-rousers. They wanted to take what the reporter said was a peaceful (albeit tense) protest and turn it into a riot, thereby testing the patience, the restraint, and the training of law enforcement." I do assume it was deliberate and that it was the story he went to get. A great deal could be reported in that circumstance but what did he do ... blamed the cops. "I don't like this whole "blame the victim" mentality that people on the Internet seem to have." I didn't blame the reporter by the way. I merely remarked that this was likely the story he went after "I was there and I got maced by the cops, not cool." The biggest complaint I have is him blaming the cops when he had deliberately involved himself in a predictable situation that the police were begging people to stay out of so law enforcement would not have to respond with such things as mace. You are worried about people on the internet blaming the rioters and people who involve themselves in the event for getting maced. Blame is a big word Ten, use caution.
