URyan Grim, oyiNtloko yeHuffington Post Washington Bureau, namhlanje wenze le ngxelo emva kokuba iintatheli zabo ezimbini zibanjiwe zijonga uqhanqalazo oluqhubeka eMissouri, eMelika. Isiteyitimenti sifundeka ngolu hlobo: "Sixolile uRyan Reilly kunye noWesley Lowery bakhuselekile, kodwa siphazamisekile kukubanjwa nokuhlaselwa kwabo."

URyan wayesebenza kwilaptop yakhe eMcDonald's kufutshane noqhanqalazo lwaseFerguson, MO, xa amapolisa angena, exhobe ngezixhobo ezinamandla, aqala ukuyicoca indawo yokutyela. URyan wafota ukungenelela, kwaye amapolisa afuna isazisi sakhe ekuphenduleni. URyan, njengelungelo lakhe, walile ukuyibonelela. Waqhubeka nokupakisha izinto zakhe, kodwa emva koko wabanjwa ngenxa yokungapakishi ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo. Bobabini uRyan noWesley babethwa.

Xa kuthelekiswa nabanye abathe badibana nesebe lamapolisa, baphume bengenamkrwelo noko, kodwa oko akuthetheleleki ukubanjwa kobuxoki okanye ubundlobongela obujoliswe kwezi ntatheli. URyan, onike ingxelo izihlandlo ezininzi eGuantanamo Bay, uthe amapolisa afana namajoni ngaphezu kwamagosa, kwaye aphatha abo bangaphakathi eMcDonald's "njengabalwi beentshaba." Ukuxhotyiswa kwamapolisa kuye kwaba phakathi kwezona ziganeko zineziphumo nezingaqapheliyo zexesha lethu, kwaye ngoku sekuqala ukuchaphazela inkululeko yeendaba.

Iqela elikhulu lemikhosi ye-SWAT kwizixhobo zoqhushululu liye lehla kubaqhankqalazi abaphinde bahlangana eFerguson, eMissouri, ngoLwesithathu. Emva kokuba kurhatyele, amapolisa asasaza izintywizisi kwisihlwele, elumkisa ukuba uqhanqalazo “alusekho luxolweni.”

“Le ayiseyondibano yoxolo. Hambani nigoduke okanye nibanjwe,” amapolisa alumkisa ngesandisi-lizwi, ngaphambi nje kokuba adubule irhasi yenyembezi kubaqhankqalazi. Ngaphambi koko amagosa ayexelela abantu ukuba bangahambi kwiiveni.

Amapolisa nawo ebedubula iimbumbulu zerabha ngelixa iziqhushumbisi zomsi kunye nezintywizisi ziwela phakathi kwenginginya kunye nakwindawo ezingqongileyo. Kusenjalo, abanye babaqhankqalazi kuthiwa bagibisele amapolisa ngamatye neebhotile.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

Ryan was working on his laptop in a McDonald’s near the protests in Ferguson, MO, when police barged in, armed with high-powered weapons, and began clearing the restaurant.
Compared to some others who have come into contact with the police department, they came out relatively unscathed, but that in no way excuses the false arrest or the militant aggression toward these journalists.
Go home or be subject to arrest,” police warned through the loudspeaker, shortly before shooting tear gas at the protesters.
