Mizzou Student: Photographer Blocked from Protester Was ‘Ignorant or Uneducated’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

MITCHELL: "Is there a way to get back to some sort of civil discourse here or there is still so much tension, you have a ways to go. We don't have that much time."

COLLIER: “No, definitely. I do believe that we are getting back to that civil discourse. I believe the whole thing was civil. At no point did anything get violent, everything was a peaceful protest, even with the camp-out. There was nothing that got, in my opinion, out of control. The students are fed up. As far as the media's concerned, at times they can be overwhelming and insensitive to the feelings and emotions that are present at that time. I think what that photographer experienced was kind of the backlash of that, and again, he may have just been ignorant or uneducated about how that particular group of students were feeling at the time and again, I understand he had to do his job but there has to be an ethical line at that moment.”
