"You're arresting him live on CNN. We told you before we're with CNN," one member of the CNN crew could be heard saying off-camera while filming.
"A CNN reporter & his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves - a clear violation of their First Amendment rights," CNN added in their statement posted to Twitter. On Friday morning, the Minnesota State Patrol took to Twitter to explain the situation and wrote,"In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media."
Uh huh, considering CNN’s credibility deficit what’s the other side of the story
Yeah like the NKVD , SS and others.... So who have the order?
the standard Nuremberg defense: 'I was just following orders' ... always makes them just look like IDIOTS.
If the arresting officer was just following orders, then police leadership should be re-examined.
