I'm inclined to believe that these orders are not coming from the top (i.e. the Governors or Police Chiefs) to go after people with cameras. I have a feeling that it is often the police forces themselves that will often spur aggression against journalists and others.

I feel throughout this we still underestimate the power of police unions and the organization of individual police officers outside of their formal duties with their departments.
