She wasn't just a "citizen observer." She confronted them.

When I first read the headline, I thought, " Wtf, they're arresting people just for WATCHING them now?" But that's not what happened at all.

She showed a lot of courage, but I'm glad there was someone else there to record and preserve this on video.
