CNN REPORTER arrested in Min. RIOT. Anyone wanna guess what 'color'?

[Geeko Sportivo]

Seriously though MN is such a clusterfuck. They need to get rid of the racist state and local officials in charge and vote them out. Bonus points if they burn a couple more buildings later

They sure have a chickenshit police force. They literally murder a minority in cold blood, protests break out because of that, then they let the town fall to looters and arsonists because they were too chickenshit to stand up to it.

Some sections of the Mn State Police are just so 1950s. And so are the hooded defenders

So now any arrest of a non-white is racist. Got it.

WHO WAS HE 'BEATING'? What was he burning? I thought he was reporting. He had on his credentials. He had a cameraman within range to videotape it. He can call himself a one eyed, one horned flying PURPLE people eater. WTF has that got to do with being getting arrested for DOING YOUR JOB?

The town obviously does not want the police there. Let the townspeople do what they will.

Ali Velshi is 'white enough' from MSNBC was on all day yesterday. Another CNN crew member, not a reporter, I guess he was white enough not to bothered.


CNN reporter, crew arrested on live TV

BY JOE CONCHA - 05/29/20 07:09 AM EDT 1,474

Minnesota state police on Friday arrested CNN reporter Omar Jimenez and his camera crew during a live report on the network's morning program "New Day."

"You're under arrest," one officer said in the middle of the report on the protests that have erupted in Minneapolis.

"OK, do you mind telling me why I'm under arrest? Why am I under arrest, sir?” Jimenez can be heard saying.

"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 the footage of the arrest rolled.

"Police said they were arrested because they were told to move and didn't," according to CNN.com.

"That is an American television reporter Omar Jimenez being led away by police officers. He clearly identified himself as a reporter,” explained "New Day" anchor John Berman while showing the video. “He was respectfully explaining to the state police that our CNN team was there and was moving away as they would request," explained "New Day" anchor John Berman. "And for some reason, he was just taken into police custody live on television."

The anchors went on to note that Jimenez identifies as black and Hispanic. They pointed to the fact that they had another crew in the area that is still working and is white...

Good, CNN is spreading terrorist propaganda that they are peaceful protesters and not a violent mob of antifa and BLM terrorists and they were arrested because they violated a legal order to disperse during a violent riot.

Hey dumb fucking jogger, CNN propagandists aren't exempt from a lawful order to disperse.

[FreeSpeech]

So now any arrest of a non-white is racist. Got it.

And lawful orders to disperse don't apply to CNN.

Are you kidding me? You do not understand the message they sent? The reporters did absolutely nothing wrong. Standing a few steps one way or the other was not going to change anything. They decided to arrest the reporters. It is just that easy and you should be honest.
The reporters asked them"where do you want us to move? The cops did not care. They were arresting them to send a message.It was not about standing in the right spot. It was about who has the power
C.mon be honest. It won't hurt you.

I was being honest...I posted the edit....

[Earl]

He should have moved....

Indeed.

Morning, TOP.

Violating a police order...

Toxic TOP and her ugly fascist ilk are just fine with reporters being harassed and arrested -- unless of course they are white guys/gals from Fox, Breitbart, or other RWNJ sites.

I'm still waiting to see if any of our Reichwing friends here call out Der Stupidfuehrer for his use of the word THUGS in one of his Tweet rampages this morning. I think we all know what *that's* a dog whistle for, eh?

Anarchists burning and looting are thugs. If the truth offends you, tough. You will get over it.

[Earl]

What is the real definition of a thug?
A thug is a bad guy or a bully, especially a violent one. A thug might break into someone's house, push its owners around, and steal their TV. It's hard to reason with thugs, since they'd rather intimidate and physically hurt people than talk.

Thugs indeed.

I'm sure they had a reason. He probably wasn't allowed to be in that area. Marshal law gets declared when thugs are rioting and looting.
