When you tune into network correspondents in war zones and covering conflicts, you are used to seeing them wearing protective gear, like vests, helmets, and gas masks.

What you don’t often see is local news people donning that same equipment as they cover the story.

But in Minneapolis, news crews are wearing protection, mainly to protect themselves from gas and projectiles fired near or at them by federal officials from the United States.

Think about that: news crews are having to protect themselves from our own government.

This is wear we are as a country right now.
