A journalist for Alpha News was harassed and assaulted Monday night
while covering a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Minneapolis. Rebecca Brannon, an independent journalist who contributes video and

proceeded to follow Brannon as she walked to her car, shouted
profanities at her, and eventually assaulted her.
“Get the f—k out of here! You’re not welcome here,” the group of

video of the altercation from the phone’s SD card.
