here is how you know this was all about wes lowery expanding his television career. right after he was released from custody, it was all about tweeting out, calling maddow now, going on cnn, msnbc after that, fox, as well. this was a media tour that was only rivaled by hillary clinton's all in the efforts to give wes lowrey's byline a microphone and future career and nothing more. >> i think that's unfair. wes lowery is a good, solid reported. he was deluged with requests to appear on tv. i don't think this was self-promotional. let's agree to disagree so i can turn to keli. were those arrests and the seizing of equipment, did that become kind of a turning point in the tone of the coverage, kelly? >> absolutely. and i will say with all due respect to joe, i hate to hear the criticism he would have doled out about 50 or 60 years ago to reporters who may have been slow to pack up their gear when they were covering another crisis which is known as the civil rights movement. >> a little slow. >> so this idea that reporters shouldn't be documenting the behavior of people

. >> the "the washington post" wes lowery joins us on the phone. what were you being arrested'cf. ? have you figured that out. >> we were told that we were trespassing in a mcdonald's where we had purchased food. we had been spending hours, in fact today when i went back to mcdonald's most of the employees were saying we are so sorry for what happened to you. are you okay? >> had mcdonald's called the police or did the police just show up? >> my understanding -- i can't say that definitively because the manager was not in today. but our understanding is that the police just showed up. they showed up. they asked people to leave. not demanded but asked. if the riot was coming to mcdonald's that's where we would want to be being reporters. we are fine, officers. you are warning us things are going to get hot. we understand. if the protest is moving this way we want to stay. they didn't like that answer and so then they decided that they were evacuating the mcdonald's. it was no longer you should leave it's now you have to leave immediately. >> were you actually handcuffed? >> i was pu

how do you justify the supplies slamming the head of one of the reporters wes lowery of the "the washingtono a soda machine. i mean just so totally out of proportion to the situation where they weren't causing any trouble. >> i mean, i see that, obviously. i think what happens in a situation like, this you know, you hear about the fog of war, all sorts of things happen. i think in a situation like this where you have the huge crowds, and you are worried, right? the tension on the ground is already really heightened. there are crowds gathering and there are gunshots being fired in the distance. those are those reports last night. projectiles being thrown. tear gas going the other way. i bet these cops, especially the young ones, they're kind of freaked out themselves. so i bet they overstepped a little bit and then the whole thing kind of spins out of control. it's not really a systematic attempt to stop the first amendment reporting of reporters. i think they were just trying to clear people out, maybe inexperienced cops got involved. i think was a bit of an overstatement by president obama

. >> if you go to wes lowery's tweet, it says, apparently in america in 2014, people can manhandle you, put you in a cell, and then open the door like it didn't happen. that was retweeted from 11,000 times. as you look at the social media discussion of this, people are making direct comparisons on the crackdown in ferguson over the protests to other protest hot spots. cairo, for example. so to our international viewers watching this with a tilted head, do some americans live in a police state? there>> reporter: there were some twitter users that live in gaza sending advice to people how to handle tear gas. that got a lot of attention online that's an example of the globalization of social media and i was very struck by that. if you talk to people in ferguson, if you listen to their messages online, they say they feel in a police state. they feel they live under occupation. on the other hand, we're talking about a relatively small communality within a big area, st. louis, missouri. this has been contained to ferguson. the protests have not spread, so that's important to keep in mind. i

necessarily in the vicinity where the tear gas was, but you in fact called the police chief after wes lowery and ryan reilly, informed the police chief they were journalists to which he responded "oh god." >> that's right. this all started, there was a peaceful march in the afternoon that had gone down where a lot of the most -- the worst protests had been happening over the last few nights. so i had gone back to my car to charge my phone and, you know, just looking at twitter i saw that, you know, wes and ryan had just been arrested. i had just seen them a little while earlier. i knew if they were getting arrested, there was something probably wrong because they're both professional, respected reporters. so i called ferguson police chief tom jackson, i told him that. he was just -- his reaction was stunned. so he told me thanks and hung up the phone. he added that, you know, they had both interviewed him earlier in the day and he had actually been impressed with their questions. and so i called him back a few minutes later and he told me that he had called into the st. louis county police a

he was there along with wesley lowery with the washington post. officers decided we weren't leaving mcdonald's quickly enough and we shouldn't have been taping them. he tweeted from the scene that officers slammed him into a soda machine, because he was confused about which door they wanted him to walk out of. wesley was detained and released, he said there were no charges filed against him, and he says there will be no police report. the chief thought he was doing you a favor. the police officer told him about being released. this is day four of the conflict in ferguson missouri since michael brown was killed by a police officer there. and thus far, it does not feel like the conflict is getting better. from the scenes in the street up to and including the armored vehicle with a cop on top with his gun trained at peaceful protesters in broad daylight today, up to and including that today, it feels like this is getting worse. joining us now is wesley lowery, he was detained tonight by the police, just released while he was covering the situation in ferguson. mr. lower

wesley lowery of the "washington post" tweeting after midnight, "eventually officers charged again. threatening if we didn't move, your last warning, you're putting your lives at risk. "the relationship between the police of ferguson, residents of ferguson seems to be getting worse by the today. today there was yet another protest outside of the office of st. louis county prosecuting attorney bob mccull la, this one appeared to go forward without incident. meanwhile, today, police of ferguson, missouri, said they are theyi itheying delaying thee of the name of the police officer who shot and killed michael brown out of concerns for the officer's safety. also today the faa issued a temporary no-fly zone exten tet to 3,000 feet over the st. louis area. an officer saying it was requested because on sunday night, a police helicopter came under fire, of course, the no-fly zone also means news helicopters cannot hover overhead. finally, the man who says he was the key witness in the case, the person who says he was walking with michael brown when this altercation arose, dorian johnson, as of last night whe

lowery of the huffington post. that scene took place in ra mcdonald's. what exactly happened? >> we were just working in the mcdonald's because it's the most convenient place that has outlets and wifi connection. it's very close to where a lot of the center of the protests have been. the first week they shut down the entire sweet. s.w.a.t. officers made their way into the mcdonald's. talked to the manager. initially we were going to be allowed to stay until they -- and then they left the building, subsequently returned, decided that they were shutting it down and gave everybody 45 seconds to get out. it caught me and wes from "the washington post" were both spread out there and had all of our things. we were planning on being there for a while and charging all our devices because we were preparing for a long night. we evidently, when we tried to report what was happening, the police officers, because it was an incredible image of them going through and being very aggressive towards everyone in the building at that time during a peaceful daytime protest, they apparently didn't take v

we want? justice! >> woodruff: french was released this morning. >> stop videotaping! let's grab our stuff and go. >> woodruff: "washington post" reporter wesley lowery recorded this exchange with police as he and a "huffington post" reporter were ordered to clear out of a nearby mcdonald's. the reporters were detained and later released without any charges. separately, members of an "al jazeera america" tv crew had to run for it after police fired tear gas as they prepared for a live report. today, the police chief denied the media had been deliberately targeted. but the stark images from last night reverbated far beyond ferguson. president obama interrupted his vacation on martha's vineyard. >> there is never an excuse for violence against police or for those who would us tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting. there's also no excuse for police to use excessive force against peaceful protests or to throw protesters in jail for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights. and here in the united states of america, police should not be bullying or arresting journalists who are just trying to do their jobs and report to the american people on

lowery head of "national review." good morning to both of you. genevieve, one of the reasons weday you were just on the border, mcalan, texas, i believe? >> that's right. bill: what did you observe, what did you experience, what did you report? >> well i talked with many of the border patrol agents, some in the union you just referenced. this has been their concern all along. yes, they were concerned about children coming across the border but one of the main reasons for that it opened up chaos on the border. it allowed people from gangs, transnational criminal organizations, who are human smugglers, drug smugglers. while all the diverse was with kids and others coming across to let these kind of folks come across. that has been a huge concern for them all along. and look, this story is terrible but i think what people need to realize, it can happen a lot more often than has been reported. ranchers in texas, we did a story for the daily signal on this, they find these kind of people crossing their land on a regular basis. bill: but your big point, they're distracted because they
