I wanna be clear: I don’t believe journalists are high and mighty. We are not above orders. We are not better than anyone else. But if news happens, we should be allowed to cover it. Actually, the first amendment allows it.

The

curfew applies to journalists and legitimate, bonafide news agencies, meaning we are subject to arrest if we attempt to cover any events taking place within the curfew area. If there’s looting, we can’t cover. Other crimes? Wait for the “police report.”

Chris Miller was sentenced to 40 years for a rape he didn’t commit. DNA exonerated him after 17 yrs. Today the court officially recognized he was wrongfully imprisoned. He missed out on much of his own children’s lives. You can see how special his bond is w/his granddaughter.

Cleveland! Today was my last full day here. TV news is so unpredictable and the reality is many of us spend 2-4 years somewhere before it’s “on to the next one.” It’s never easy leaving a place you call home. Despite occasional trolling of CLE sports, it’s been a great ride! Bye.

12 years ago today a boy in a minivan showed up in South Dakota to work. I've since traded the van for "13" pounds. The jawline for a pair of Spanx, sports for news, my soul for survival, and undoubtedly my sanity for a lack thereof. I've seen some of the country along the way.

Why won’t you allow legitimate, bonafide news agencies to cover events within the curfew area? You’re one of the few cities in this great country to restrict press, potentially in violation of the first amendment.
At this time, we ask people to continue to stay out of downtown for their safety and to allow our city vehicles to pass easily for clean-up and emergencies. Thank you!
For now, you can help by sharing our updates. We will rebuild, together! (2/2)

Residential care is provided by outside docs. About half got shots b/c their provider has doses. Others have providers who don't have doses. Jack could, and might have to, arrange for transport of his wife to a vaccine clinic/location, but that's out of pocket and expensive.

The state tells me this particular facility is on the list for vaccines, but probably won't get them until mid-April. Again, there are alternatives for the families, but it would require extra effort and money.

This is the sharpest I could get from my video. Police are calling this an “Amazon” van, but that’s clearly the “Enterprise” logo. Perhaps they contract together, or through a 3rd party, for deliveries?

Dashcam: Rashard Higgins. Cops ask about the smell of pot, he admits to smoking day prior. They found a joint then explained they won't give him a ticket for that, just drag racing. "You guys are celebrities around here... you don't want that hittin' the news, okay?"

From my great colleague...
Interesting to hear Mayor Frank Jackson say moments ago the media are allowed to be downtown as long as they are working. Says he doesn’t know where this is coming from. Hmmm, somebody might want to fill him in. I know we were told none of our reporters would be allowed downtown.
