A CNN crew was arrested by Minnesota state police Friday morning while giving a live television report in Minneapolis, where the crew was covering ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd -- an arrest that has drawn an apology from the state's governor.

- which also included producer Bill Kirkos and photojournalist Leonel Mendez -- as they moved in to arrest a protester behind them.

"We can move back to where you like. We are live on the air here. ... Put us back where you want us. We are getting out of your way -- wherever you want us get out of your way," Jimenez said before he was led away. After the CNN photographer was arrested, his camera was set on the ground and continued to transmit live images.

For a portion of time overnight -- from sometime after city police abandoned the precinct building that was set ablaze -- police weren't in the area until the troopers arrived Friday morning, Jimenez had reported. The four-story event and restaurant building was burning unabated, and people were throwing things into the flames, Jimenez said.

CNN is the enemy of the people. CTV, Global and CBC are collaborators.

FAKE

the reporter is black. cop is white. hello

Violence does not inspire Justice And I hope the Court system there does not get intimidated find mob mentality and violence

Democrat politician apologizes to Democrat CNN. How cute.

Hopefully this will lead to more cops being fired.

CNN is trash but this arrest takes policing to a new low level of dumb.

Follow police orders during a riot or get arrested. Being employed by CNN does not give you any extra privilege.

They should be happy they didnt have their necks crushed. Quit complaining, you met with the local police and lived to tell the story.

Yeah umm.... why is this news to but when it happened to TheRealKeean just days ago they said nothing?

Finally justice is served!👍 why apologize when you’re doing a public service🤷‍♀️ for stopping FakeNewsMedia FakeNews

America today. Block social media and arrest members of the press covering protests. Under Trump the USA is quickly becoming a 3rd world country.

Why CNN IS DISGUSTING..

Serious. Why is this any different than Trudeau’s RCMP removing a reporter from the press gallery ? May not like who they are but seems CTV didn’t report on that and actually ignored it .hell would break loose if it was CBC though .

Once you all stayed silent about reporter Assange you allowed this slippery slope. You all failed keeping the ones in charge in check.

This certainly doesn’t help the local authorities reputation.

Reporters are arrested for covering this story, but the officer whose actions resulted in the death of someone has not been?

It seems to be a case of reporting while black...

Real bad optics

There are so many miscarriages of justice in America right now, it is hard to keep track. It starts at the very top.

I know i woke up in 2020 this morning but this is what im seeing on the news today in America. Its surreal. Its makes me cry in fact.

CNN crew is safer in Hong Kong.

Too little too late for apology. Only black reporter & crew arrested, NOT WHITE! Camera rolling the entire time. Violation of 1st Amendment. cnn was doing their jobs & did NOTHING WRONG!

How dumb do you have to be as a police supervisor to order the arrest of a black reporter reporting on national TV about a riot/protest resulting from the unnecessary police killing of a black man. You have to be representatively dumb and completely racially insensitive.

While fake news like CNN are a vile bunch of folks they do not deserve to be arrested. Those people looting do.

They have been since released, but it was a disgusting display once again by this police force

OH HAPPY DAY
