The Daily Caller's Michelle Fields faced abuse from the NYPD and help
from protesters.
The right-wing Daily Caller website has been anything but kind to Occupy
Wall Street, even going so far as to condemn the protest movement as
generating riots, murder, and arson.
But when a couple of Daily Caller employees were at Occupy Wall Street
this morning, it was the very protesters they had been demonizing who
ended up helping them out. Daily Caller reporter Michelle Fields — who
faced off with actor Matt Damon earlier this year over education policy —
and videographer Direna Cousins both claim they were attacked by the New
York Police Department (NYPD) while covering the raucous protests in the
Financial District today. Fields added that Occupy Wall Street protesters
immediately came up to her to offer their help:
“Direna had a camera in her hand and I had a microphone, and we were
being hit,” she said. “When I fell to the ground I said at one point,
‘I’m just covering this! I’m covering this!’ And the officer just said,
‘Come on, get up, get up,’ before pulling me up by my jacket.’” “The
protesters came up to me right away and asked if I needed any medical
assistance. They were actually very kind and helpful. It was the police
officers who were very aggressive,” Fields added.
Fields says that protesters right now are effectively “barricaded” in
Zuccotti Park, which was the spot from which they were ousted from on
Tuesday.
