From what I have read (which is entirely too much, thanks procrastination):
On the McDonald's thing, the reporters were told to leave because the McDonald's was being closed. They refused and were arrested, and then they resisted arrest to make a scene since that's their job. They were let go within 24 hours which is the normal thing to do in a lot of places instead of charging them with anything that would make their lives more difficult (which the police could have very easily done).
The preacher lady being shot with a rubber bullet sounds like a cop points a gun at her and is like bang and shoots her, but they are shot at the ground to primarily strike the legs etc., and are nowhere near lethal (or even something that will cause any type of real injury). They were told to GTFO, they didn't GTFO, so they were made to GTFO. While I don't necessarily agree with handling it that way, that's what you get when you have police departments in the United States who intentionally turn away applicants for having an IQ that's too high.
