MinnPost - AP photographer's last pre-arrest shot is a stunner

MinnPost - AP photographer's last pre-arrest shot is a stunner

"I heard an officer say, 'What are we supposed to do with him?' And the arresting officer say, 'What do we charge him with?' It seemed they knew I was press but no one knew what to do. I was getting passed around but no one was willing to do anything."

The arrest report indicates Rourke was charged with "Riot — gross misdemeanor."

Rourke's boss, AP Director of Photography Santiago Lyon, isn't on opinion lockdown. Via email, he states, "It is unacceptable for a working, credentialed photojournalist to be detained in the manner that AP Photographer Matt Rourke was on Sept 1, 2008 in St. Paul. Upon ascertaining his status as a journalist, police should have released him immediately."

"Pictures taken by Associated Press photographers showed officers using pepper spray on protesters who appeared to be trying to block streets.
"There are people who are committing violations of law and they're being arrested," Walsh said."
