Buzzfeed news has this running and it was interesting to see some of the tom-foolery going around the interwebs.
The Bulwark publisher, Sarah Longwell kind of nails it.

I also find it interesting that the reporter who was leading the team is a person of color (Hispanic and black). His credentials were in plain view, he asked repeatedly where the police wanted him to relocate to with NO apparent response. There was no resistance by Mr. Jimenez and his request as to where to go was never answered.

Keep in mind, these tend to be younger people who we keep getting told have little to worry about from COVID-19. Unless of course it is running thorough the CPO Mess or Wardroom. The you get into that older demographic of 30-40 year olds.
