   #WTF!? Breaking news: reporters have an amazingly liberal definition of "struggle between the police and the suspect" http://www.wcvb.com/news/car-chase-through-several-mass-towns-ends-in-nh/39499390

     "Simone exited his pickup, appeared to be kneeling on the ground when officers ran up and a physical confrontation began. Video from Sky5 showed a struggle between the police and Simone which lasted for at least 15 seconds." Appears that police #thugs beat a non-resisting perpetrator, despite news chopper videotaping overhead. Probably won't be any repercussions, either.
     Joshua Judson Rosen repeated this.

     @lnxw48, worse--that's actually supposed to be "suspect", not "perpetrator"....

     I'm having a serious #NIMBY response to this. I'm right next to the border between Hudson (where this took place) and Nashua. That Nashua Police building is literally down the street from me.

     I'm also pretty perturbed that the camera operator *zoomed out* when it became clear that something notable was happening on-camera--and that the overall #news response was to do their best to ignore it. I think of these guys as having their job be "to make witness", and they really botched that. #BadWitness

     @lnxw48, grrr—wish I'd captured this on web.archive.org: they appear to have *significantly* edited the story in place and completely replaced the video at this point.

     Have I mentioned how much I hate this "online publishing means you can silently revise and even un-publish after publishing!" thing?

     To their (minor) credit, WCVB do at least still provide a link to the original video: http://www.wcvb.com/news/car-chase-through-several-mass-towns-ends-in-physical-arrest/39500992

     @lnxw48, actually, it's clear now—from the edits WCVB made after initial publication—that this didn't happen in Hudson but in Nashua.
