Re: Student arrests
A credentialed AP photog was arrested, too. Your ignorant remark is precisely that.
minnesotaindependent.com has a ton of detailed on-the-scene RNC coverage that gives much-needed context to the events in St. Paul. It's not as simple as you suggest.
Student arrests
So What. The were apparently breaking the law. If they were credentialled journalists/photographers with Saint Paul recognition then that is another story.
But, to single them out for special news treatment becuse of their 'student' status that is a special matter that should not be allowed by the US News.
On the surface, it appears their advisors failed to give proper advice and got the students into trouble.
But, the students (all college age) are adults and are responsible for their own actions. Any or all could have pulled the plug and said, "I'm out of here!" and left. By not exercising that right, they were the same as everyone else in the crowd.
Arrests
And the problem is?
