CNN reporter and crew arrested on air in while covering Minneapolis riots | FULL INCIDENT

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. CNN's John Berman reported on "New Day" after the arrest that Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) apologized to CNN president Jeff Zucker while promising to release Jimenez and his crew. Minnesota State Patrol tweeted that three members of the CNN crew were arrested while “clearing streets and restoring order.” CNN responding to the tweet saying that was not a fair description of what happened and thanking the governor for “his swift action.” Jimenez was released about an hour after the arrest and returned to the air to provide his account on what happened in a diplomatic manner. "There seemed to be a little bit of confusion around what was allowed to happen," Jimenez explained regarding police clearing out the area of protesters. "The moment before the arrest actually happened, we saw one protestor, or at least someone was not media, run past us ... and after that person was apprehended, [police] turned toward us." "As far as the people leading me away, there was no animosity there. They weren't violent with me. We were have a conversation about how crazy this week has been for every single part of the city. As I mentioned, a lot of people are already on edge." You can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/media/50...
