This is just the police chief runing his mouth and I suspect speaking out of his ass because I doubt there is are any legal grounds for this to happen without taking some extreme liberty in interpretation of the situation but I find it to be complete bullshit either way.
Those news crews were not innocent bystanders but people who put themselves in a dangerous situation they did not have to be in.

PHOENIX (AP) - Four people died today when two TV news helicopters collided while covering a police pursuit in central Phoenix.
Now, the man arrested in connection with the police pursuit has been identified and booked into jail.
Police say 23-year-old Christopher Jones has has a criminal record and is on parole.
Jones was booked into jail late tonight on two counts of vehicle theft, four counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and one count of resisting arrest with police saying other charges are expected to be filed later.
Earlier today, Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris suggested that the suspect could be held responsible for any of the deaths from this helicopter crash.
The helicopters from KNXV (Channel 15) and KTVK (Channel 3) were covering the police pursuit of a work truck around noon today.
Just before the collision, the driver had jumped out of the nearly disabled flatbed pickup and carjacked another truck.
The man later identified as Jones was taken into custody by a SWAT team after barricading himself inside a house.
