Bassem Masri was covering the riots in Ferguson after the verdict not to indite Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown; got his phone stolen from either a rioter or an undercover officer trying to stop him from filming what Ferguson PD was doing.

If it was a rioter it is ironic because Bassem was there to help people.
