Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz apologized Friday and took responsibility for the arrest of a CNN crew that was covering the protests over the death of George Floyd, saying there was 'absolutely no reason something like this should happen.'

Washington Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Friday called for calm following protests over the death of George Floyd, saying he expects"swift" justice for the officers involved and taking responsibility for the arrest of a CNN crew.

Protesters nationwide have demanded justice for Floyd, a 46-year-old black man who died this week after a white police officer used his knee to pin him down in an incident captured on video. Fires raged overnight in Minneapolis as crowds shattered windows and charged over a fence to get access to the 3rd Police Precinct.

realDonaldTrump - Imagine MO, an elected official who accepts responsibility. Call Putin and see if you should do it sometime.

GovTimWalz ok there was no reason but please tell us the reason the cops which everyone witnessed arrested the reporter

His sorry is not ok all the time, when are your officers going to be trained as what to do and what not to do

It angers me that not one reporter who is present in MN briefing asked about George Floyd. All they cared about was property. That’s the problem in MN. EndRacism JusticeForGeorgeFloyd 😡

Rare sign of remorse for ones actions. Not common with politicians. Ever notice how little they'll ever admit a fault?

How about the fact there is “absolutely no reason something like this should happen” that the officer who murdered GF isn’t arrested

My dear sweet Gov, it’s May 29th and Trump has barely done a damn thing to stop the massive death count of Americans caused by a global pandemic. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for whatever the hell he said he would do for you during yalls little phone call last nite.

In the USA of all places .No

👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

And americans dare to tell me their country is freedom 😂😂😂 Nah man 0 freedom

sign language is strange .

🤠🧠

CooperRepublican National Committee officials outlined health and safety guidelines for the August convention in a letter to North Carolina's governor Will be interesting to see if the Governor plays politics The RNC maybe send a letter with the strictest guidelines, but that won't matter. Trump wants it filled to the brim, as many people as he can, no social distancing, nothing. Coronavirus be damned. Let them hold it, just lock them all in the convention center and quarantine the survivors for 14 days.
