The Kids are Alright

Two years ago, Columbia Journalism Review did a profile on Hilde as she was beginning her career at age 8.

I loved her report on this. Great write up.

Personally I see this as being bigger than a cop picking on a girl, though. Cops seem to bully journalists and concerned citizens recording their overreach all the time.

This time, though, the reporter’s age and mode of transport amplified just how absurd police bullying is.
