Seriously? If you were just looking for a reaction you've got one.
Were they arrested because or in spite of being journals? Had it been you on a public footpath watching the proceedings would they have carted you off?
It's not simpler incompetence. Police officers know very well the acceptable reasons for arrest. It's sinister. The people in charge don't care for the law or accountability. They are basically banning protest, and these people weren't even protesting.
