Police arrest CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez and crew on live television
CNN’s Omar Jimenez was taken into police custody during a live broadcast at the site of the protests in Minneapolis, after clearly identifying himself to officers. Jimenez’s crew were also placed in handcuffs. #Floyd #OmarJimenez #CNN
Yes. This is how the police operate more often then not….they know they can arrest and inconvenience the hell out of you on a whims notice. The prosecutor may opt not to file charges, but as far as your day goes…you're effed.
Looks like you are in the boat as all the rest of us hay protected species. I wonder how many lasers these will get and how much back peddling CNN will do to get out of imagery trouble that criminal cops will trumped up charges?
Thank god for police being cautious and arresting them for not obeying the law. Respect the law. They were not moving away. You have no civil rights to not obey the law and distract and pester the police in a high stakes situation.
I just saw this on some other site. If this was staged CNN! I want to make it clear I support the protests. But if you staged this CNN! What else have you staged? Playing the US citizenry like a fiddle. If I find anything to the contrary that this was completely organic it’s going to go viral. So you had better come clean before that time. You think those who are not in the top 20% are stupid?
Even journalists are unsafe from "cops" out there who just want to arrest, injure, and/or kill everyone for no reason no matter whether we are innocent or not. It's those "cops" who are giving good cops a bad reputation.
Omar Jimenez and his crew were unlawfully arrested by the "cops" but it was the commanding officer who told those "cops" to release those news correspondents and let them do their jobs properly.
Find the HEAD OF THE SNAKE!!!
Citizens need to buy deer rifles and go into sniper mode. 600 yards. 12X scope. End this shitttt.
What's wild is they had police dress ass riot ppl to burn shit an pay ppl to destroy
OMG I've never seen a news person arrested, and for no reason!
CNN is so stupid, He standing in the middle of a Police Operation?!?!
Staged… hahaha…
GIVE OMAR A RAISE

How is nobody talking about how little sense this makes? It would have been obvious who they were. It HAS TO be a media stunt.
Totally real and definitely not an incredibly obvious media stunt.
I swear cops are idiots lmfao do they not understand why this whole thing happened in the first place?
The very first 2 rules of arresting someone:
1) explain why the person is being arrested
2) explain their rights to them
These pricks did neither.
Good people do not become cops.
this is why everyone hates police
Reporter: Why am I under arrest?
Pigs: IDK
Authoritarianism… It can happen any where…
Am I watching Walking Dead: Avoid the Cities shitshow?
THEY ARE FACING POLITICAL RETALIATION FOR COVERING THIS
Reporting while black SMH. CNN better sue for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but i would arrest any CNN reporter as they are the biggest fake news network worker they even make the BBC look small for fake news.
Why would you do this on camera you wonder why the public doesn't trust the police because of shit like this.
It’s crazy how excited the people in the studio got when they started arresting people, there like yes! We’re gonna get great footage!
Damn coming back to this reminds me of how insane it got.
