NEW - Journalists will face arrest, charges if caught reporting while on Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District property https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Uvalde-school-shooting-17212194.php
You could do all that stuff or you could walk into the public property and see if someone can speak to you, because that's the way the law works in America. This arrest order is almost certainly unconstitutional, and there's no way this order has anything to do with sparing any victims harassment. This is to protect the police from whatever crimes or misdeeds they committed, that's it.
ok! but i don't care about the constitution, i don't think journalists physically not being on the site will make a difference to their ability to make an investigation into this shooting and i don't think this is a big deal.
like i just can't see the mechanism for how this is going to protect the police from anything
The bigger picture is that pigs are illegally arresting journalists for attempting to report on them. Whether or not that is going to hinder the investigative process is secondary - it's a flex of power and it's sending a clear message.

The constitution is dumb but it does govern the things cops are allowed to do, and this is them saying they're going to break the law.
