Police in Miami announced yesterday plans to embed reporters in police squads during the upcoming protests against the Free Trade Area Of the Americas.
Police chief John Timony says he wants to bring journalists to the front lines of the protest.
The journalists will be required to have a riot helmet and gas mask.
Timony gained national attention in 2000 when he served as police chief in Philadelphia during the Republican National Convention.
