The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Michelle Fields Accused NYPD – Similar To What She’s Alleging With Lewandowski As the former Breitbart reporter and Fox contributor Michelle Fields continues to stand by her assertions that she was assaulted by Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski, an incident that occurred earlier in her career, when she worked for the Daily Caller as a reporter has come to light. In November of 2011, Fields alleged that she was also, pushed to the ground and assaulted, that time by a New York City Police officer while she was covering the Occupy Wall Street movement and ignoring their instructions. Disregarding the instructions of police officers is never a good idea, for anyone, including reporters. It’s something that can easily land one in jail, particularly when they are trying to clear an area at a time of a mass disturbance. They don’t have time for polite conversation. One either does what they are told or they end up being moved. It would appear that Ms. Fields didn’t learn anything from her previous encounter, as she violated the Secret Service perimeter and got next to Donald Trump as he was exiting, in what she claimed was an attempt to ask a question. The Secret Service guy wasn’t doing his job which left it to Lewandowski to do it for him, from a greater distance away. The following is excerpted for the Daily Caller, their report of an incident involving their reporter during that similar event at Occupy Wall Street: While covering Occupy Wall Street’s “Day of Action” Thursday morning, Daily Caller reporter Michelle Fields and videographer Direna Cousins were struck by NYPD officers as police tried to clear Wall Street of protesters. “The police officers were beating the protesters with batons, and were also beating the media,” Fields told TheDC. “They hit Direna and me with batons. They hit other members of the press in order to get them to move out of the street.” Both were struck, but neither sustained injuries that required hospitalization. Clear indications that Fields and Cousins were members of the press didn’t stop the NYPD beating. “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.’” In the crush of the crowd, Fields and Cousins were unable to get out of the street and comply with the NYPD’s orders. “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. It would appear that Ms. Fields, the child of a privileged Hollywood upbringing, believes that there is one set of rules for her and another, the law, is for the rest of the people, the commoners. She might find life a little easier to navigate if she were to drop that privileged perspective. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

When she brought the charges against the police, did she win? Will she win in her charges against Lewandowski? If she does in either case, then she will be right - if she wins then there IS a special set of privileges for her, because she's press, and liberal.
