You may remember the 1st amendment zone. Apparently law enforcement in Ferguson thinks it needs to be retested. Edit: It does not actually say that the "zone" was set up by police and that people were directed by police to remain within designated areas, but it would appear that the journalist was arrested for refusing to remain within a designated area or leave a certain area where police apparently didn't like him standing.
'An “organised protest zone” was set up close to the convenience store where unarmed teenager Michael Brown allegedly stole cigars minutes before he was shot by a police officer. Media were directed to view the zone from another area opposite it. Olson was across the street from the press area when he was detained.'

I guess they just can't help themselves, that it's be too much to ask to not abridge people's rights.
