CNN reporter arrested live on air by Minnesota police, released an hour later

Minnesota police arrested a black CNN journalist reporting live on television while covering the Minneapolis protests, without giving any reason.

CNN Communications said earlier that three Minneapolis employees were arrested for doing their job and demanded their immediate release. "We can move back to where you like," Jimenez told the officers wearing gas masks and face shields, before explaining that he and his crew were members of the media. "We're getting out of your way."

CNN anchor John Berman told viewers about an hour after the arrest that the network's president Adam Zucker spoke with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who said he "deeply apologises" and was working to have the crew released.

Our government friends is doing to media! Are we follow?

Good! The media are not exempt from arrest if they are obstructing a police operation.

And these are the people LNP supports ! US regime are thugs ! Time to condemn ! its time for sanctions !

I wonder if Prue McSween, Andrew Bolt, Miranda Devine, Peter Dutton and Concetta Fierravanti-Wells and the rest of the Einsatzgruppen Schutzstaffel will publicly back Trump's threat to shoot American citizens or will they go silent? I really don't know if they'd back him or not.

I love that they tried to use a fake story of 'they didnt move when told' when the video shows otherwise. US once again showing how it is no different than the countries they try to pretend to be superior to, if anything they are worse and the issue isnt only the orange one.

We are waiting here for you latimes nytimes CNN . When the US slides into civil war, the free world is here at your back. JustinTrudeau BorisJohnson nzlabour

Media loving it.

Welcome to the States of America by it's Trumpeteers!

CNN? The laughing stock of Mainstream Media. Trust the Sydney Morning Herald to echo them. 🤡

Our ally(boss), America 😬

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

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.
