\u2018Reporting While Black\u2019: Minnesota Police Arrest CNN Journalist During Live Broadcast: BREAKING<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In a surreal moment, Minnesota state police arrested a CNN crew during a live<\/a> broadcast on the streets of Minneapolis on Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

The CNN crew was led by reporter Omar Jimenez, who is black. <\/p>\n

Jiminez had told the officers as they approached that the crew was willing to relocate wherever necessary. The crew was covering ongoing protests over the killing by police of unarmed black man<\/a> George Floyd. <\/p>\n

This is a developing story and will be updated … <\/p>\n

It is absolutely outrageous and a direct violation of the 1st amendment for the police to detain journalists doing their job. This is what actual censorship looks like, not being told by twitter that you can’t lie on their privately owned app.<\/p>\n

Police clearly saw that @OmarJimenez<\/a> and his team were broadcasting live<\/a>, reporting on the protests. During the arrest Omar kept asking them where they wanted him to be. They arrested him anyway. I just cannot believe this.<\/p>\n
