If you’ve been to some of these events, you’ll notice a large number of antifa people with handmade press passes calling themselves journalists, but also protesting peacefully by throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at cops, Burning buildings, preventing others from using their own cameras, hitting people, and breaking things. Those people are included in this count.


The sad part is that many people won't believe you, even though it's true, because it was intentionally excluded from the reporting of the major news outlets.


> Those people are included in this count.

They are not. You may have missed it when you read the report (it's near the end), but it says "A journalist who attends a demonstration in order to protest publicly, rather than to document the event, and is arrested in that capacity, will not be counted on the site."
