Here is the video of the CNN reporter arrest. I have included the description of the video below to help people find it: A CNN reporter and crew have been arrested live on air while covering the Minneapolis protests over the killing of George Floyd. Black correspondent Omar Jimenez had just shown a protester being arrested when about half a dozen white police officers surrounded him. Mr Jimenez told the Minnesota State Patrol officers: “We can move back to where you like”, before explaining that he and his crew were members of the press, adding: “We’re getting out of your way.” The journalist was handcuffed and led away alongside a producer and camera operator for CNN.
