A reporter for the local ABC affiliate in El Paso was handcuffed and detained while trying to cover a traffic accident on I-10. “Motorists stuck in traffic witnessed veteran journalist Darren Hunt and photojournalist Ric Dupont being handcuffed and detained,”
Freedom of the press? sure... whatever 'they' say. Sorry, but the North America is fast becoming a joke... but the sad part is that NOBODY is laughing.
Wonder what was IN the truck...hmm?
On another site, it states:
"According to ABC-7, Hunt and cameraman Ric Dupont were sent out to film a flipped semi on the interstate. They parked on the shoulder of the other side of the road as men in military fatigues were helping pull the driver out of the cab."

No, those are not the current military uniforms that we wear. The only organizations who wear those now are militia and para-military since they can purchase them through surplus vendors.
maybey the officer was just stressed out, it happens to the best of us. But does anyone know what happened after that did they go to jail or were released, another question does anyone know what was in the truck? maybey thats why he was stressed out???
