CNN Reporter Arrested On Air During Minneapolis Protests

It’s astonishing to see the constitution crumble before our eyes. We are clearly living in a police state where the freedom of the press matters less and less each day. At first it was just the president trying to delegitimize the media, but clearly the sentiment that journalists and reporters are “enemies of the state” has permeated the system to the lowest levels, down from the very top.

These cops look like mindless, robotic thugs. You can see it in their blank stares as Jimenez is explaining to them his status as a member of the press. They don’t care that he’s trying to comply with them, they’ve decided that they want to arrest him (presumably for the crime of being in public during a protest while black) and don’t know how to respond because he didn’t resist their request. So they just waited, confused for a minute, and then proceeded to arrest him anyway. Atrocious.

God save America.
