    CNN reporter, crew arrested on live TV

    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."

    "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...

    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

    I doubt they were all that left-wing considering they arrested a journalist for reporting on news that the Republicans want us to ignore.

    One thing about this though. When the open up protesters were doing thier thing the number one thing you hear the media mention is why are they not social distancing? In this riot they havent really asked why they arent social distancing.

    They did not arrest the white reporters a block away, politely asked them to move. Why is that?

    Did he move? If the officers didn't give him enough time to comply, I'll bet he was eventually released....Is that wrong?
    I'd love a link to the order from the "higher ups", though...TIA
    Edit: Just heard an update....they released them and "apologized"...someone cried and they're now back hard at work...
    I'm sure if they're asked again to move, they just will

    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.
