Tim Arvier, 9News US correspondent, has been detained by police at gunpoint while reporting on the riots. 9News

A check-cashing business burns on Friday in Minneapolis during riots."You have to stop, put your hands out the window and show your credentials."One police officer freaked out, pulled his gun out and got us to get out of the car."They pulled me out of the car, sat me down, they searched me

"While they were a bit aggressive and confrontational at the start, it's how nervous they are after what has happened over the last few nights," he said. Protesters march down the street as rubbish burns in the background during a solidarity rally for George Floyd, in New York. It also came after the state poured in more than 4,000 National Guard members and said the number would soon rise to nearly 11,000.

Similar scenes of unrest unfolded across several cities on Saturday from New York to Tulsa to Los Angeles, where police fired rubber bullets to scatter crowds and at least one police car burned. In Washington, President Donald Trump sent tweets ridiculing protesters outside the White House who were among thousands nationwide incited by the death of Floyd, who died after a policeman pressed his knee onto his neck for more than eight minutes.

Frightening.

Probably because Tim doesn’t wear a face mask.....

Did they not have large Press decals on their car or vests with press on them? How about informing local law enforcement that they are covering the riots to get prior authorization. Then again the police has bad directives regarding protocols with press. WakeUpAmerica

margokingston1 It wasn't supposed to be like this, was it? After Australia helped the United States in so many invasions and Wars for 'Democracy and Freedom.' Just keep telling yourselves, 'Free press is a cornerstone of democracy. Free press is a corner stone of democracy, freepress is....'

You had to get in on the CNN action didn’t you 9? Explains why you had that vile report from a CNN reporter on late night news about the racially motivated turmoil the US find itself in; Not just the George Foyle protests, but the riots, it’s healthcare system and COVID. Shame!

He should not of been there anyway.

Why mis an opportunity for more bullshit.

Was he armed? He looks dangerous.

For three minutes you felt what it's like to be BLACK in America where your whiteprivelege and yr presscard meant nothing

It’s ALL about the “ SPREADING OF FAKE NEWS” at a time when the GOOD PEOPLE of the United States can do without .

You’ve regurgitated this from this morning. Typical. Can’t stand your fake outrage. Channel 9 sucks.😏

Lock them scum up

This happened hours ago. Seriously. 😏

He’ll have an absolute boner over it, running around in circles like a doofus selfie’ing in ad many stupid situations as he can. This’ll be the highlight of his life.

Just to think few days ago, everyone were criticizing HK police, the irony

FakeNewsAlert

What a mess that place is atm

Glad our news crew are all okay My Father was held at gunpoint by an overzealous cop in Baltimore in 1972 for driving through the Baltimore tunnel with propane gas tanks on the rear of our bus-saw the sign too late to change lanes & take the off ramp

And this is the country that wants to lecture the rest of the world on democracy and human rights

Oh fuck off thats what he was looking for

What an experience to go through!! He's right to have that look of terror in his eyes. These lunatics shoot first and ask questions NEVER!!! BlackLivesMatter TrumpResignNow

If they can't control the riots they'll control what we hear about them.

Why I didn't herd this kind of news when you report in Hong Kong. How dare you make DEMOCRACY CAPITALISM GREAT US daddy looks so ugly. 🙄

What for spreading Fakenews? 😂😂😂 suck it up butterfly...

Yep, press officially unacceptable. This is a crazy administrative facility; Caligulan.

9FakeNews correspondent should’ve been arrested along time ago 😉

See if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. ChristmasIsland Witness-J RoboDebt. A fascist government is no friend of the people.

Why put your life in jeopardy to report on events we r going to hear about anyway ....

Must have been caught looting ha ha

Not death in custody but death by intent to murder an unarmed black man by a white police man.

This is the declining empire we act as a lapdog to.

I did Warn you.

“There is no justice in a world run by corruption.” – Julian Assange

Did you lot not miss the CNN people being arrested on Friday? You were only detained. White much?

bennpackham eh hem

Now you know how’s US police. I am glad I am in Australia. We are better

When your tired of it all, tired of your city burnt to the ground and ready to to deliver some woop ass, ya probably don't want cameras around. Nor do you want the anarchists to know what is going on behind the scenes. Cameras off.

Good ..... just another grub media

If he is anything like the reporter in LA ‘reporting’ for the TODAY show Maybe he was stopped for not having a clue

Omg!!! Hope they are released and safe

Nancy Pelosi:HONGKONG PROTESTER it's a beautiful sight to behold!SHAME ON HER!!!! NOW AMERINCAN PROTESTER IS DOING THE SAME THING

Minnesota police arrest CNN reporter on air while covering Minneapolis protestA black CNN journalist has been arrested while reporting live on air by several white police officers in riot-torn Minneapolis as he showed a protester being arrested. Merica Chuck that lefty in jail. Watch the whole 6 minutes. It is chilling. Its quiet, and the officers say nothing apart from “you’re under arrest”. They never tell them why. Its like a horror movie.

CNN reporter arrested live on air by Minnesota police, released an hour laterAfter the arrest the anchor can be heard saying, 'If you're just tuning in, you are watching our correspondent being arrested'. Shame on the government and police for allowing murder on the streets. Lock up the officer who caused this chaos because he is a murderer. He was arrested & his colleague a block down wasn't arrested. He was just spoken politely to. I guess the color of your skin speaks volumes Our ally(boss), America 😬
