Canadian reporter witnesses police brutality in NO has camera seized

[Swede]

The suspects were eventually brought out of the building in handcuffs and bleeding profusely. They were punched and kicked numerous times by six or seven officers.

Oleniuk said he was still photographing the scene when officers approached him, shoved him back and ripped two cameras and his press pass from around his neck. "I pleaded with them for the cameras," said Oleniuk, who said he asked numerous times only to be denied.

Walking away one block, Oleniuk decided to ask one last time. An officer he had been working beside returned his cameras but without the memory cards containing 350 pictures.

"When I asked for the pictures, one said, 'If you don't get your ass out of here, I'm going to break your motherf--ing jaw.' "

for the police, one for the journalist.
