Normally I'm all fuck CNN, but wtf lol. State police are going to get loved tenderly for this. Video here: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/29/minneapolis-protests-omar-jimenez-arrested-newday-vpx.cnn Non cnn article here https://www.marketwatch.com/story/cnn-journalist-omar-jimenez-and-crew-arrested-while-covering-protests-in-minneapolis-2020-05-29 |

Because it wasn’t mentioned on at least 3 pages in the one of the five riot threads.

I’m not a CNN fan by any means, but it seems like a crappy arrest. The reporter was offering to move out of the area while being arrested.

CNN First Amendment Audit Arrest......
Finally after years of little guys getting arrested for filming, a crew gets arrested that will bring attention to the issue. |

View Quote Can't watch the video at the moment, but was his offer one of those "No. No. No. You can't make me. No. Wait, you're grounding me? Fine I'll do it." situations? Or was he actually cooperating from the start. If the latter, it's pretty f'd up. If the former, well, bye. |

Some folks (such as myself) don’t have time to read through hundreds of posts looking for actual info in the din of commentary. Giving the highlights a spotlight (their own thread) is appreciated. |

It's not a good look for the State Patrol. |

Looks like they were saying to get out of the street and CNN was saying just tell us where to go and we will go.
Obviously they did not find that answer satisfactory. |

Lol riot cops arrested a Hispanic CNN reporter while he was saying "they told us to stand here, do you want us to move

I predict they’ll be released and charges dropped before the embers cool on the third precinct.

The alternative was to arrest protesters, can't be doing that, town won't burn itself.

Hahah it’s funny but wow, state police have some explaining to do!

Quoted: Seriously? . I hope you're joking. I have as much contempt for the MSM as anyone, but this is over-the-top banana republic shit right here. This is fucking Soviet or communist China shit. Where are they taking him? To a re-education facility? View Quote No, no joke. The liberal media has done unimaginable amounts of damage to this country and the people who live here. I would be thrilled to see everybody who works at that network get arrested. |

That’s a shit show.
In a relationship building moment you shot a dog. Could have just said “move over to that corner. Thanks for asking.” Reporter would have the chance to say no on live tv. Instead, you got what you deserved. |

Having a hard time giving a fuck about any CNN reporter getting hooked up. CNN backs these leftists who get into power and act like leftists, and then acts all surprised when the leftists go all leftist on CNN?
Insert the "Wants more government / more government" meme here. |

And they're released.... The governor is apologizing.
CNN is now making it out to seem that he was arrested because he was black. The police were idiots in this case for creating the situation that caused this mess. It just gives CNN ammo for propaganda. |

MN Cops just making more friends.....
Waiting on the MSM to start rioting and burning down shit now. EDIT: Yes, unlike a lot posting here, I watched the video. Complete bullshit. My son got arrested years ago in a similar situation. Cops told him to stand over there. He went over there. Another cop told him to move. He told this cop that cop A told him to stand here, where do I go? Bracelets came out. Night in jail for "Public intoxication and obstruction of justice" They never tested his alcohol level. He hung out all night with the jail's nurse because she knew it was BS. Son went to court and had another cop speak on his behalf and told the judge arresting cop was basically a POS that shouldn't be on the force. Cop that spoke on his behalf was also a SC Nat. Guard soldier as well as my Son. Basically got time served and walked. |

I wonder if anyone else would have been released that fast without it being on national tv?

Governor apologizes for cops, sounds like at 7:50 the police still had them in custody. A governor can't get his own state police to cut loose a crew of national TV reporters arrested something like two hours ago?

Twisting the law to achieve a goal like that will come back and bite us in the ass......and all because we didn't want to have to make a harder but much more true case against them. I.e. we shouldn't take the lazy way out. We should end them, using their own vehement actions against them. Much bigger case, much higher penalties, and makes us look righteous rather than petty. |

View Quote If they dont back off of this current direction, the end result is that many fewer people will respect cops in any real way except fear. And there are way way more pissed off people than cops.....and fear is a poor long term motivator when your society is both ballsy, pissed and armed. |
