Police Arrest CBC Journalist, Take Camera for Filming Them
Errm... is Blackwater training the cops in Winnipeg? "CBC reporters were in the area following a different story. When police began arriving, the cameraman began rolling. Police instructed him to turn off the camera, then moved in, said CBC reporter Gosia Sawicka... the cameraman was formally charged with obstructing a peace officer."

Errm ... if I were a cop prepping a takedown, the last thing I want is for the guys inside the house to watch the whole thing on Channel 8. And then there is the outcry if the cameraman had been shot by someone inside the house.
Sounds like the whole thing was just unfortunate timing (the CBC crew was nearby to film a Hell's Angels bust and got in close before a perimeter was established), but that the situation was handled appropriately with nobody harmed.
Or we could just cry Blackwater and see what happens ....
