Police charged a CBS News reporter covering the canceled Trump rally with resisting arrest
CBS News reporter Sopan Deb covered the canceled Donald Trump rally in Chicago on Friday night, capturing striking footage of protesters and supporters alike.
Then, seemingly without much warning, Deb himself was reportedly thrown on the ground and handcuffed. He was charged with resisting arrest, though the video footage doesn't show him resisting. Deb has since been released.
