WWNO New Orleans Public Radio's Ryan Kailath, above, a reporter assigned to cover protests in Baton Rouge, was arrested there (with several other journalists) and charged with obstructing a highway. One of the officers looked at Kailath (who is of south Indian ancestry but booked as black) and said: "I'm tired of y'all saying you're journalists."
Thing is, I'm not black. I'm Indian, yet booked as a black male. Cop: "I'm tired of y'all saying you're journalists" https://t.co/Q54NLTBkuE
