Ferguson Protestor Has Phone Stolen–While Live-Streaming Riot
25th November 2014
Read it. And watch the video.
Bassem Masri, a pro-Palestinian activist who is live-streaming the violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri, had his smartphone stolen as he was live-streaming the action (at 2:34 in the video below). The thief’s escape was broadcast to some 90,000 viewers around the world as he retreated, breathless, to a park. The video was captured and reposted to YouTube.
Now that’s comedy.
Masri himself has blamed police for the theft, suggesting they are trying to suppress his coverage.
I believe it was a police agitator that stole my phone #ferguson
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
