CNN Journalist Interrupted, Harassed by Chinese Police During Tiananmen Square Anniversary Report

Video shows CNN reporter Matt Rivers having his broadcast on the Tiananmen Square anniversary harassed and interrupted by plainclothes officers working with Chinese security officials

RIVERS: "You stick your neck out and you start talking about — so, this — we're not sure who this gentleman is here. Plain clothes police officer, more than likely. So, what we're going to do now, Rosemary, I'm going to toss it back to you in the studio. Natalie, if you can just back up. We don't want to antagonize the situation, but this is what happens when you talk about Tiananmen Square. (...) So what's happening here is that uniformed police officers don't want to be captured on camera, pushing us away, but then they bring in people like this, who clearly are working for security forces in some way, shape or form, but they just don't want us to be here."
