UPDATE: CNN crew released from police custody after they were arrested live on air while covering protests in Minneapolis

A CNN crew was arrested while giving a live television report Friday morning in Minneapolis -- and then released about an hour later -- as the crewState police detained CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez, his producer and his photojournalist shortly after 5 a.m. CT as Jimenez was reporting live from a street south of downtown, near where a police precinct was earlier set ablaze.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker that he deeply apologizes for what happened and would work to have the crew released. "I identified myself ... they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area,'" recounted Campbell, who is white. "I was treated much differently than was.""A CNN reporter and his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves -- a clear violation of their First Amendment rights.

Unfortunately, false identifiers are are not necessarily true. In a chaotic situation miss reputation can occur. Thereporter was in the wrong place at the wrong time for what reason other than money.

It seem like the Minneapolis police need to get some real police training.. They should be ashamed of themselves..

CNN AMERICAS BIGGEST RACIST NEWS NETWORK

It was a setup

FAKENEWS

Cops in Minneapolis don't seem to realize that cameras exist

Staged arrest of a black reporter to incite more violence. Don’t fall for it.

Wow bet they would have ignored the reporter if he was white

How about the Canadian reporters dragged by the RCMP? Any body reporting or is that not allowed in the nwo.

And like this will not fuel even more animosity !! So frustrating !!

Do something about this!

Journalists are not above the law

Now do RebelNewsOnline

CTVNationalNews So the white CNN guy was told he was allowed to be there and the non-white reporter and his crew were arrested. Minneapolis… WTF?

they arrest a reporter n camera crew looks pretty easy to do Question: how come the cop that started this whole mess isn't arrested? seems they dont like to arrest a fellow officer these cops should be ashamed to b a cop, oh an ur arresting the wrong person go after the cop

How the hell do you call this a protest and not riot? This is absurd. CTV needs to be defunded asap .

Police states.

Where was the story when JustinTrudeau had a reporter forcefully removed from the cottage grounds simply for being there with the rest of the press wanting to ask a question.

Is it entirely possible that cnn crew was detained for their safety, and this is their “spin” on the matter?

The Fake News Network staged the event by having a black reporter lead the crew to a restricted area and disregarded police warnings. CNN has done this type of thing previously. Complete lack of journalism.

lots of morons in the comments who would gladly go against their own interests and live under a dictatorship just so they can say the left sucks.

CNN ... did the police cuff the white crew members ... just wondering as it seems the camera just kept recording ...

I'm in favor of CNN 'news' weasels being arrested any time, for any reason.

This could have been all prevented if Amy Klobucher would have done her job as top prosecutor for Minnesota. She had the opportunity to put this dirty cop away, but dropped charges instead, for a previous murder.

Next time follow direction.

Didn’t a reporter just get arrested at a Trudeau daily briefing? Or it that not News?

Manufactured event on top of manufactured event, on top of manufactured event. ... etc

Wow! Wonder if they voted gor Trump because the white CNN correspondent wasnt arrested. Mmmmm. Just a thought

ErinOTooleMP AndrewScheer please stand up for Africa American. You did soon much for HK protestors, please do the same for black people too.

Nice double standards~ Can I call this another kind of 'discrimination'? I guess CNN crew has fewer human rights than HK reporter right

Ahhhhhh..... see! Dreams CAN come true! I never thought I'd live to see the day:) Hope cbc is next!

Media is an accessory, everyone knows at least some component of these riots is to perform for the camera, no doubt about it, incredibly we now have a culture in which we must wear masks rendering identification of culprits much more difficult, can't make this scenario up

CNN breaking the law again?

good now arrest CBC , Butts / Unifor CTV fake news

Cnn is terrible liberal propaganda so I personally could care less. However, in general this is not a good thing. FREEDOM IS CRUCIAL

Good. Now report on RebelNewsOnline being removed from JustinTrudeau 's pep rally, I mean 'daily briefing'.

Will CTV report on Trudeau forcefully removing a journalist from his press conference yesterday? Nah I didn't think so. The establishment / fake news corporate media stood by and pretended it wasn't happening, and it's all on camera.

Lock up the losers & throw away the key. 😂

Best news I've heard in awhile!

It’s fake news anyway arrest away
