Reporters being arrested and hit with tear gas is horrible, to be sure - and it will help to spark more international attention to this incident - but what shouldn't be forgotten are all of the folks who have been beaten, detained, harassed, and oppressed before, during, and after this incident in situations which do not garner the same kind of attention - such as poor people of colour.
