WATCH: WaPo’s Wesley Lowery Posts Video of His Arrest in Ferguson

Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery posted video to the Post‘s website tonight of what happened right before he was arrested in McDonald’s by Ferguson police. Lowery had said earlier he was not only arrested, but assaulted and slammed against the soda machine.

In the video, you can see an officer confronting Lowery, yelling at him to get out, and hovering around him to make sure he got out in a timely manner.

Lowery and Huffington Post reporter Ryan Reilly both appeared on MSNBC tonight to talk about their arrests. And both HuffPost and WaPo showed solidarity with their reporters in reacting to the arrests.
