These animals in Minneapolis just attacked a CNN reporter on live TV

[NosyJossie]

CNN trying to make themselves a victim of Trump's rhetoric. Wonder what the full context is.

Holy moly, Omar Jimenez was arrested but not Josh Campbell.

Both are CNN reporters.

Omar:



Josh:

The crew members were handcuffed and detained as Jimenez gave a live report on a Minneapolis street. A line of state troopers had just arrived at the area, which city police seemed to have abandoned for hours overnight after the police precinct building was set on fire.
Intermittently, an officer told people over a loudspeaker to "disperse immediately" or face arrest.
Troopers were advancing down the street and soon approached the three-person crew while moving in to arrest a fourth person behind them.
Police told the crew they were being detained because they were told to move, and didn't, one member of the CNN crew relayed to the network.
After the CNN photojournalist was detained, his camera was set on the ground and continued to transmit live images.

Jimenez could be seen holding his CNN badge while reporting, identifying himself as a reporter, and telling the officers the crew would move wherever officers needed them to. An officer gripped his arm as Jimenez talked, then put him in handcuffs.
"We can move back to where you like. We are live on the air here. ... Put us back where you want us. We are getting out of your way -- wherever you want us (we'll) get out of your way," Jimenez said to police before he was led away.
"We were just getting out of your way when you were advancing through the intersection," Jimenez continued.

CNN's Josh Campell, who also was in the area but not standing with the on-air crew, said he, too, was approached by police, but was allowed to remain.
"I identified myself ... they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area,'" recounted Campbell, who is white. "I was treated much differently than (Jimenez) was."
Jimenez is black and Latino.

So?

Also, he was detained and let go.

[Coachbombay]

Wow, they burned down their own liquor store? They're definitely not thinking long term. Hopefully these businesses don't open back up when this is all over, then OP can cry about "lack of jobs and opportunity...."

Burning down your neighborhood in a race riot and causing all the respectable citizens to leave has been a recurring theme in urban america since at least 1968. It's how middle class black neighborhoods became gang infested ghettos.

Then they bitch about lack of jobs and opportunity, or gentrification....

[BearyManilowe]

Yeah you ignored the fact that the white reporter wasn't standing right in front of the cops

And also ignored the fact that the media and especially CNN would love to incite more racial divide right now, just like you're doing

Then you negged me like the weak beta that you are. You gonna cry now?

Repped you to help offset just because little bitch Tammy negs anytime her feelings are hurt.

Repped you to counter Tammy's neg. Tammy throws out negs like candy to anyone that calls him out. Tammy is a bot that whose sole purpose every day is to get up, log in and copy/paste propaganda about a country he doesn't even live in and stir the pot. It's his joir de vivre. I simply can't imagine having nothing better to do in life than this. It's truly pathetic, and on some level one has to pity him. I hope that he at least gets paid for these efforts; however, when Tammy is old and alone, will he look back and feel it was a worthwhile endeavor.

The epitome of mental illness.

[Vrykul]

Thanks for the reps bros but i dont mind getting negged srs, just when it's somebody's first thing they do you can tell they're butthurt

On spread

[JewishSuperHero]

OP could care less about the riot itself, he cares more about some reporter getting arrested/detained.....

Yeah. The Constitution is indeed important to me. A Target, a Wendy’s, and an AutoZone are not.

Josh:

Not everything is a race issue.
Clearly you are implying that he was arrested BECAUSE he was black. As it stands, I see 0 evidence of that. I would also ask you how this was possible since the police force has been run by a leftwing city gov't for decades, since only right wingers are the racist ones.

[BearyManilowe]

Yeah. The Constitution is indeed important to me. A Target, a Wendy’s, and an AutoZone are not.

Which Constitutional Right was violated by being detained for 2 hours? Cite your sources, I'm especially curious given how little context is available about the entire situation.

[BFast55]

Yeah. The Constitution is indeed important to me. A Target, a Wendy’s, and an AutoZone are not.

How about your house? Your Family member's house?

[wesleysh21]

Yeah, on the surface it looks bad - they didn't even give him a warning or anything before arresting him.

I would also assume there is probably more to the story/context though.

The way it all went down was WAY too convenient. I was watching it live. There is definitely more to this story.

Id say being butthurt would be whining about a neg, multiple times, claiming you don’t mind, and then saying you’re going to neg back.

Real misc love story <3

[chalup]

What in the world did I just watch? They let him keep talking Into the mic while a cop had his hand on the mic for over a minute..

[JewishSuperHero]

Brb allowing the police to stomp on the Constitution to keep my house

[ButWhoWasNoodz]

The new whining is about "food deserts" because grocery stores leave the area too.

If you can’t see how you are coming off as incredibly whiny I’ve got news for you, son...

[ohiostate124]

I wonder what the leadership of Minneapolis looks like politics-wise.

I can’t imagine this situation being handled worse.

Do we even know why the reporter was arrested? I'm pretty sure we don't.

The police were there because crows of rioters were torching businesses and low income housing. Should the police not try to stop it?

[Vrykul]

You're coming off as incredibly butthurt right now, kinda like you come off in every single one of your posts

You gonna try to discredit my arguments or just continue with **** posting and race baiting?

You might be shocked to learn that the Minneapolis mayor was a community organizer prior to running for Mayor as a member of the Democrat party. He also wears skinny jeans.

All the soy you can eat...

And how does arresting a reporter stop that? He calmly and repeatedly asked the troopers where the crew could move to and appeared to get no response. As the camera pans it looks like troopers were in every direction. As he started reporting again they put him under arrest. The way it appeared on tv is the exact issue citizens have with police. They aren’t protecting and serving their citizens. They are authoritative figures that treat citizens like garbage. Zero respect. Throw in racial bias as the cherry on top.

I have no doubt there's good cops out there. But there's way too many bad ones and the good ones don't do **** to stop it. Actual trash.

A lot of conjecture and jumping to conclusions in order to push your narrative that all cops are racist

Gee who does that remind me of?

You might even be right and I'd admit it. There is a big problem with the training/selection of police officers, my personal opinion, based on pure stats, is that this is a general police issue not a racism issue

Just stfu and wait for the full story to come out before you embarass yourself

I do not believe all cops are racist and I don’t believe all cops are bad. I’ve said as much many times the past few days.

I’m saying that is what appears to have happened on tv and was about the worst possible thing that lieutenant could have done given the circumstances outside of shooting the reporter. The appearance on tv is that the reporter acted calm and professional and the heavily armed troopers in riot gear acted like thugs. Even if the facts are different that’s how it plays out on tv and that’s the narrative that’s going to be pushed. These people are idiots.

So we agree that police reform is needed then. Great, glad we could see eye to eye

Except for that race baiting thing I guess

[JUSA]

Here is a take on this -- the cops later apologized and were 'only following orders'.

I hate CNN but this is out of control, people should at best end up fired over this - and not just the guys 'following orders' but those who gave these orders to do this bullchit.

[Holyfenix]

I get real tired of posting about the reality of every situation here but whatever.

Doesn't matter if you hate CNN, hate Cops, or whatever side you're on. It doesn't matter if you think this was staged or not either. The real issue here is the already bad optics that the police have on them is not going to improve after arresting a reporter on live TV with no warning. The reporter and producer handled this perfectly "We were told to stand here" "Where would you like us to move to" "We will go wherever you want us to go" "We are with CNN broadcasting a live story right now" Cops fuking arrest them. Terrible optics for the police, and will lead to a worse situation overall. If that is what the police want, then good move I guess, if they want a de-escalation then they fuked up.

I'm pretty sure that when police are called in to stop a riot, they are trying to gain control of selected areas. I'm sure that was a large factor in this incident. That being said, I don't condone them arresting the guy, based on what I know right now. It was apparently a misunderstanding and he was promptly released. I don't see the need to turn this into a racial issue.

Would you rather he dress in camo and smell like skoal?

Nice deflection. So, what are your thoughts on the Democrat Mayor's response so far to this mess? Thoughts on his handling of the police force? Is this just all Trump's fault?
