The administration's extreme anti-press behaviour for the past week (and the months prior to that) contribute far more to those opinions.

The "facts" are official sentences such as "we will hold the press accountable", "news media should keep its mouth shut", Spicer lying to the press on day 0 and treating the media as hate objects, etc...

These police are employed by the DC city government, which is run by Democrats.

Link to arrests of journalists which took place before Trump was president: https://www.google.com/search?q=dc+metro+police+arrest+journ...

While Trump's views on the First Amendment are disturbing, these arrests do not seem related.
