>The vast majority of these arrests occurred while journalists were documenting the historic, nationwide protests

So I'm guessing that most of these are various civil unrest (curfew violations, trespassing, etc) type arrests?

I would assume these are situations where they're minor charges / charges dropped type of situations?

Not to justify whatever given arrest(s) happened, but that seems different than say an arrest intended to prevent a story being told, shutdown a newspaper, or etc.
