A student journalist documenting the arrests of Occupy Rochester protesters Friday night was arrested himself, even though he clearly identified himself as a journalist.
Jonathan Foster, 20, was even wearing a shirt that said “Reporter,” showing he was on assignment for Reporter Magazine, the weekly publication from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
