TV news reporter detained by police, released amid Cal Poly Humboldt protest: 'Find a different job'

HUMBOLDT, Calif. (KGO) -- A reporter from ABC affiliate KRCR in Redding at the pro-Palestinian protest at Cal Poly Humboldt was detained and it was caught on her live stream.

Riot police were on campus doing a protest sweep early Tuesday morning when the reporter was detained.

Officers told her to put her phone in her pocket but there is audio of her detainment.

Video and audio recordings captured the moment a KRCR reporter was detained on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus while covering the Gaza protests.

Officer: "Put your hands behind your back." an officer is heard saying.

Reporter: "Wait I'm press! Wait can I at least text my boss?"

Officer: "No."

A different officer can then be heard saying, "She had the opportunity to leave. This is a crime scene. It's been declared a crime scene. The press knows that."

The reporter then says that her boss had her assigned to cover the protest.

When the officer said that she was told to leave, she said she couldn't because of her job.

Officer: "You were told multiple times to leave, otherwise you would be arrested."

Reporter: "But I can't. My job. My job has me here all night."

Officer: "Find a different job, if this causes you to break the law."
