CNN's Omar Jimenez is released from police custody after being arrested while covering protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Minnesota State Patrol arrested the team live on CNN air. #CNN #News
@@jeremybyington lol. yep. America is officially Great Again! the people that still support this dude while the country is literally on fire are just unfathomably stupid or brainwashed or racists (or likely all 3)
@RDA Yes, I did. And the previous video where he and his crew were arrested and the camera was left on the ground still recording. Not one of the cops would say why he was being arrested. He showed his press badge, told them he'd move to wherever they wanted, but they still arrested him, the producer and cameraman. And not one cop could say why.
Omar literally said that he would relocate at the police's directions. Instead of directing him to where he needed to be, they instead arrested him without justifiable cause. It's reprehensible.
Spring Kid Productions hmm..that reminds me of the Nazi officers who were asked why they allowed & executed the killing of Jews.... “I was just following orders.”
He's being too nice about this. I appreciate him trying to objectively describe the events. That's a true journalist. But what happened was wrong and needs to be rectified.
@@Bruh-js2hv sorry. Not into the conspiracy theory. The only actors in my mind are the various media outlets and personalities that blatantly do opinions over facts, and whose opinions are always informed by the organizations that give them money for it.
Ozzy 'LFO' AirMax You are so brainwashed. Cops are for the most part very good people who genuinely want to help others. I know many police officers and haven’t met one as you described. If your life threatened, I bet you would call them. You’re obviously just saying that to get approval from cop haters out here
that sounds about right. lol. damn pigs. i wonder when the revolution will finally start. enough with the talking and protesting. its time for an eye for eye out here.
That’s why they always lie that people they arrested are resisting... that’s their go to line... “resisting arrest to justify their excessive use of force and criminality
How blind and conformed,and low IQ.. they're supposed to know law to maintain it.. well how about start with Constitution,Rights, violation of the 1st Amendment.. Freedom of the Press!!
It’s not they told everyone to get off the street and they didn’t. They aren’t above the protesters. They had plenty of opportunity to get off the street like everyone else.
Liam Duran um they just came behind them and they were asking where they could be. Now I’m just following orders isn’t a good excuse. They were the press and they could tell.
I'm a military currently serving almost 20 years, with an MBA degree and I'm African American. I am under no illusion that reporter or George Floyd could have been me as well.
He’s angry on the inside but he wants to remain professional in front of his coworkers in fear of being labeled. But Omar and Everyone all know exactly why he was arrested.
M wgp They took him first though it probably took them a while to think that it looks bad just arresting him so they went back to arrest the others (just a theory though)
@M wgp the three others were arrested but it took the police time to decide that. They probably think that its not wise to make it so obvious. THAT'S A MORE PROBABLE EXPLANATION :)
Damn, I hate that I know what "talk" ur talking about. "roll down the windows, turn off the car and put both hands on the steering wheel so the officer doesn't feel threatened. And remember to speak respectfully. Hopefully he'll let u go with just a ticket"
Really.. cuz just following orders is a pretty standard response for the actions of people who might not want to be doing what they are doing.. especially in the military and law enforcement
Those orders from senior law enforcement officials need to “lawful” and not violate the U.S. Constitution! If the orders violate the constitution and any of the amendments, then it is unlawful and should not be followed.
It would of never been, any of this madness, if only they would of and it's still not to late arrest the officers for killing the man in the street. Duh.
Honestly I have NEVER seen anything like this. Doing this to the Press on Live Broadcast is absolutely ridiculous. Whichever Boss or Senior Police Official that gave this order SHOULD be fired immediately! This is how "Tyranny" starts! Hard to believe that this happened in a country that is called a "Free Country"!!! Stunning and unbelievable !!!🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is the first steps to authoritarian rule. You can thank the republicans. The transition of America to Amrikkka is almost complete. The Russian overlords will be pleased today.
Notice he was the first to get arrested and the police only arrested the rest of the crew to make it seem non racist. Keep in mind there was a white reporter blocks away doing his job as well and did he get arrested? No
*Comments on nazi trials* Where have I seen this before? OH I know, EVERY GOD DMAN COMMENT BEFORE YOU. The comments are starting to repeat themselves...
It's nice that the governer apoligises, though i had not heard a thing from Trump, maybe that would be better after declaring CNN fake news ? Will the Donald do this ? i'm betting he'll not :-)
NO MATTER HOW PRECIOUS IS THE MONEY ONE GETS PAID, THE BONUSES, BREAKS AND CONCESSIONS. WHEN SOMETHING STINKS OR START SMELLING BAD, QUIT. NEVER WORK FOR CROOKS OR CON-MEN, OR CON-WOMEN. NO MATTER HOW SWEET THEY MAKE THEIR OFFER TO BE. ALWAYS USE YOUR INTELLIGENCE AND THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
I'm from the UK so don't watch much CNN and am seeing this for the first time now. If nothing else, this guy seems like a total legend 🤘 Great composure, courteous and professional attitude, when a lot of people would have lost their shit at something so outrageous. Well played, sir.
“ I am just following orders” still does not answer his question on why he is being arrested. A human being deserves to know the legitimate reason as to why he or she is being arrested.
@@andrewatlivankin3713 Yes and can you imagine...Orange Julius said that he himself is the best president the US has ever had. Imagine an adolescent pip-squeak like that comparing himself to Thomas Jefferson?
Yeah I'm sure it did, seeing as that wasnt supposed to happen. They're not a hazard to the public, it would be irresponsible to use taxpayer dollars to keep them in jail in my opinion.
G C hey here’s an idea: a innocent guy just got arrested for reporting news, just cause cnn isn’t sucking up to your politics don’t mean cnn is “narrative sympathizing” or “playing the victim”. He literally did nothing wrong, think if you were him and saw this pathetic comment, he would see you as laughable
they were told to clear the area, and who says they cant? cops like this are meant to control an area so either you listen or you get arrested period dont matter if your a reporter or not......
r light Just watching it live was shocking. I was totally taken back because he’s press! And on top of it he’s a black man 👨🏿. Lord knows the world 🌎 was praying 🙏🏽 for his safety because if anything was to happen to him, I wonder what excuse the police in Minnesota would use? Lord please help the world 🌍 now.
Rubbish, he failed to comply , was arrested and released...the same thing happened to everyone else who was arrested that night, unless you heard of any stories where the riot police rounded everyone up and executed them
@@dorianshadesofgray2981 failed to comply? Did you see the video? He repeatedly asked the police where they should move to and they they just arrested him without saying why or anything
These people put no importance on morality and ethics, they just "follow the orders" these kinds of people have the potential to do anything when ordered, anything, so horrific, it's going to get worse before it gets better :/
Yup. That's exactly what it looks like. There is no way a black man today will not be a little afraid. How ironic. Maybe the whole police force has a racial problem.
@@ansleymac7855 This is the excuse of the Nazis. Human's were born with free will to THINK for themselves first and foremost than proceed with whatever they deem as harmless. Absolutely no excuse.
That's simply the power of a clear conscience. Freedom does NOT equal lack of accountability. Especially in something the protesters had devolved into something resembling a war zone.
This reminds me of a passive aggressive child. When they asked him to get out of the way, he didn’t move but questioned where they want him to stand? Imagine a fire fighter trying to put out a fire, telling a reporter to get out of the way, the reporter doesn’t move and kept asking where he could to stand. If you show respect to the other’s jobs, they will in turn respect you. Civility wins.
@@user-ny1rs1fq4h He's standing in the middle of the street where they initially TOLD him to report from. Then they apparently changed their mind and say 'get out of the way'... and he says 'okay where do you want us to go?' Considering the Police were clearly and egregiously breaking the law (you know... the First Amendment of the Constitution that prohibits the government from abridging either free speech or the freedom of the press... that part) you are blaming the journalist and his crew? We won't even get into the fact that the Governor of the state felt it necessary to apologize for the arrests. I guess you aren't a patriot are you?
Orders?! Only military carry out orders. Civilian police cannot. They just act like they can. They don't even know who can give an order. The military fall under the UCMJ, so they have to follow orders. Police departments do not fall under UCMJ. They can be requested a service not ordered.
'I was just following orders' didn't hold up as sound defense in the Nuremberg trials .... is this evidence that the problem is not a few bad apples, but a system that has become rotten from the top?
So a microphone, camera, crew and ID tags weren't enough to identify them as media? What ID do the police expect? Someone cocked up and then the police didn't even own they cocked up. Disgraceful.
Gullible Gestapo-the Antifa Brownshirts. The Nazi Left has succeeded in indoctrinating our youth as well as dumbing them down. As Antifas and other radicalized Left see themselves as antifascist, they are blind to their own savage fascism. Or they justify it because it’s “anti racist or white supremacist. They’re clueless that they’re actually fighting for Nazi Globalists. Maybe their hefty Soros paycheck to protest helps them to turn a blind eye. The radicalized Left uses the same techniques used by the Gestapo to shut down political opponents. The BBC explains, “Those who spoke out against Hitler and his policies faced intimidation and threats from the Gestapo, or imprisonment and in some cases execution. However, there were some brave individuals and groups who openly opposed Hitler and his policies - a few survived, but many were killed.” Anitfa is the Lefts’ gestapo-targeting the lives of political opponents through financial devastation or physical attacks. It’s just a matter of time until someone who is beat up for wearing a MAGA hat, or is pulled out of their car by a gang of traffic-stopping thugs, or is attacked with a bike lock or a stick is killed. Just for having their own political views. A young man, Joshua Witt was recently stabbed for having the wrong haircut-it was buzzed on the sides, so his attackers though he was a Neo-Nazi. Fortunately he escaped with cuts to his hands, but he says the attacker was aiming toward his head. This insanity would not be allowed to grow if not for the compliciity of the propaganda machine, MSM. They are denying, normalizing, and justifying Antifa.
And technically you don't need ID tags as public photography is legal regardless of credentials, as long as they are not interfering with police, which of course they weren't since they were in communication with police on where to stand. So lots of violations of rights here.
@@jeffreyferraro9414 Why would it be staged? Why would police agree to make their public image seem worse, especially during this time? Did you even think about these things before commenting? Just because you don't agree with CNN doesn't mean everything is faked.

It's nice that the governer apoligises, though i had not heard a thing from Trump, maybe that would be better after declaring CNN fake news ? Will the Donald do this ? i'm betting he'll not :-)
waw that solved so much. lets everyone apologies and continue in killing.
Doesn't this broke the 1st amendments right to stop reporting and spread of news something like that?
writing doesn't matter when people are "just following orders". This is going to happen every single time.
"I was just following orders." When in history did we hear that before?

They should arrest him:

Great point
They haven't arrested them, have they?

"I'm just following orders" wasn't a excuse when the Nazi's tried to use it during the Nuremburg trial. Not a excuse now either

I'm from the UK so don't watch much CNN and am seeing this for the first time now. If nothing else, this guy seems like a total legend 🤘 Great composure, courteous and professional attitude, when a lot of people would have lost their shit at something so outrageous. Well played, sir.
Omar needs a bonus or raise for being so calm and collected! Fine gentleman, he and his entire crew!!
He will have ptsd
He will have
Because it was fake
What they need is a couple of days off. The whole crew might be calm now but the stress will catch up
David Hawkins lol what was fake? Racist trump supporters say everything is fake cause they know what they are doing is flat out wrong and evil.
He's surprisingly calm after having been arrested for doing his job. Kudos to his composure and professionalism.
Shiii, he trying to stay alive.

CNN Reporter: “Why am I being arrested?” State Patrol: “Cause were the law bi*%&!” Minnesota Gov: “😳🤬🤦♂️ My apologizes.”
Omar I know you are screaming from the inside stay strong my brother god bless
SERIOUS.? YOU THINK HE WAS PEEING ON HIS PANTS.?
“ I am just following orders” still does not answer his question on why he is being arrested. A human being deserves to know the legitimate reason as to why he or she is being arrested.
Legally they are required to tell you why you are being arrested. But these cops think they are above the law, what else is new 🙄
Exactly
@Ethan Weeter but why arrest him in the first place, who ordered it?
Corupt cops
He had been ordered by his superiors to arrest him. That's why he was arrested. Was it lawful?
“I’m just following orders” was the defense of the nazis.
Blue state with a Democrat Governor that gives the orders.
Gilda, Lopez,
Liberal's are garbage.
Exactly.. we all say that here .. I'm form a neighbor country of Germany and is exactly what we say 😂😁😊
Trump hates cnn and liberal press. So it was his freaking order.
And, here they come..
THE Reporter really did the right thing not losing his cool FOLKS.
Sad on so many levels, as I anticipate the outcome of all this.
Extremely embarrassing by those who are "just following orders". Kudos to Omar Jimenez for acting in such a professional way.
Ironic considering there was another group of guys wearing brown shirts and arresting reporters who we following orders too.
STAGED! SO FAKE. You CNN viewers are DOLTS.
None Given how please
None Given how can they have staged the arrest? Went up to the police and told them to arrest them?
Keeping cool... If Michael Brown behaved in the same manner, the police wouldn’t have to escalate the situation! Period!
"JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS."
No accountability.

The Nuremberg defense. That one never gets old...
Omar Jimenez is now my favorite reporter...so professional and even after his release he still just reported what happened without any hint of bias.
I'm sure trumper's disagree with that. like speaking whilst black is clearly a democratic bias or some other bullshit
He is very impressive and calm under pressure.
Definitely. I would be all effing hysterical bc I know my rights and the cops were infringing upon them just because they are cops.
What a brave Arrest Stager he is .......best piece of Fakenews I've seen all day Bravo

I’ve never watched a reporter get arrested by police. Seems like grandstanding and narrative sympathizing to me. CNN playing the victim is laughable
G C hey here’s an idea: a innocent guy just got arrested for reporting news, just cause cnn isn’t sucking up to your politics don’t mean cnn is “narrative sympathizing” or “playing the victim”. He literally did nothing wrong, think if you were him and saw this pathetic comment, he would see you as laughable

They don’t have the right to arrest omar wtf, they can’t do that 🤦🏻♀️🙄🙄
They can if they asked everyone to clear out. As shit was on fire and so forth. Stupid people
they were told to clear the area, and who says they cant? cops like this are meant to control an area so either you listen or you get arrested period dont matter if your a reporter or not......
Luckily for Omar, he was on live television and had the full strength of the CNN legal team behind him.
r light Just watching it live was shocking. I was totally taken back because he’s press! And on top of it he’s a black man 👨🏿. Lord knows the world 🌎 was praying 🙏🏽 for his safety because if anything was to happen to him, I wonder what excuse the police in Minnesota would use? Lord please help the world 🌍 now.
True
Rubbish, he failed to comply , was arrested and released...the same thing happened to everyone else who was arrested that night, unless you heard of any stories where the riot police rounded everyone up and executed them
@@dorianshadesofgray2981 failed to comply? Did you see the video? He repeatedly asked the police where they should move to and they they just arrested him without saying why or anything

These people put no importance on morality and ethics, they just "follow the orders" these kinds of people have the potential to do anything when ordered, anything, so horrific, it's going to get worse before it gets better :/
Nazis were just following orders too
reporter: let me just broadcast in a cordoned off zone with all these police in riot gear
producers: great idea timmy
biden_dimentia2020 they had police approval
Omar Jimenez should be awarded for his professionalism all throughout. Salute to this guy. ❤️
This looks like the scene joker blew up the hospital in dark knight
Police: "Arrest the black guy..."
Police man in charge panics:
"Ah crap, arrest the other guys too, quick!"
Oh yeah, that sure sounds exactly like what happened. Most def!
Yup. That's exactly what it looks like. There is no way a black man today will not be a little afraid. How ironic. Maybe the whole police force has a racial problem.
Surprised he didn't get pinned to the ground by like 4 other cops

IT SEEMED THAT CNN WAS WORKING IN CAHOOTS WITH THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DPT.
I want to know the conversation that went down within PD when they figured out they carried out an arrest while live on CNN.
WAS CNN CREW REALLY ARRESTED OR IS THIS SCRIPTED?

Omar is a class act. Give him a promotion.
Total professional
Talking about professional! He’s so chill even after being arrested for doing his job! Respect ✊
That's simply the power of a clear conscience. Freedom does NOT equal lack of accountability. Especially in something the protesters had devolved into something resembling a war zone.
I got really scared for him until the cops arrested the rest of the crew.
This reminds me of a passive aggressive child. When they asked him to get out of the way, he didn’t move but questioned where they want him to stand? Imagine a fire fighter trying to put out a fire, telling a reporter to get out of the way, the reporter doesn’t move and kept asking where he could to stand. If you show respect to the other’s jobs, they will in turn respect you. Civility wins.
@@user-ny1rs1fq4h they didn't ask him to get out of the way they just straight up arrest him
@@user-ny1rs1fq4h He's standing in the middle of the street where they initially TOLD him to report from. Then they apparently changed their mind and say 'get out of the way'... and he says 'okay where do you want us to go?' Considering the Police were clearly and egregiously breaking the law (you know... the First Amendment of the Constitution that prohibits the government from abridging either free speech or the freedom of the press... that part) you are blaming the journalist and his crew? We won't even get into the fact that the Governor of the state felt it necessary to apologize for the arrests. I guess you aren't a patriot are you?
Shout out to Omar for keeping his composure, even though he’s pissed.
He was alot more calm about it then I would have been!
" I'm just following orders ."
Where have we heard that excuse before?
The question that needs to be answered is , who issued those orders.
Some orders you just don't follow. If your job is more important than an innocent life, you probably shouldn't be a cop
Orders?!
Only military carry out orders.
Civilian police cannot. They just act like they can. They don't even know who can give an order. The military fall under the UCMJ, so they have to follow orders. Police departments do not fall under UCMJ. They can be requested a service not ordered.
'I was just following orders' didn't hold up as sound defense in the Nuremberg trials .... is this evidence that the problem is not a few bad apples, but a system that has become rotten from the top?
Who gave the order? All the media coverage from many stations and CNN reporters get arrested? Hummm. Who gave the order?
Orange twittler.
Omar Jimenez is the epitome of "Grace under pressure".

because he has to be. yes, partially because of his job. but also because he'd probably be murdered as well if he wasn't calm.
This is insane. How could they just arrest somebody without any reason.
The key thing in this situation is that they arrested him out of his crew first... that explains everything
So a microphone, camera, crew and ID tags weren't enough to identify them as media? What ID do the police expect? Someone cocked up and then the police didn't even own they cocked up. Disgraceful.
Gullible Gestapo-the Antifa Brownshirts.
The Nazi Left has succeeded in indoctrinating our youth as well as dumbing them down. As Antifas and other radicalized Left see themselves as antifascist, they are blind to their own savage fascism. Or they justify it because it’s “anti racist or white supremacist. They’re clueless that they’re actually fighting for Nazi Globalists. Maybe their hefty Soros paycheck to protest helps them to turn a blind eye.
The radicalized Left uses the same techniques used by the Gestapo to shut down political opponents.
The BBC explains, “Those who spoke out against Hitler and his policies faced intimidation and threats from the Gestapo, or imprisonment and in some cases execution. However, there were some brave individuals and groups who openly opposed Hitler and his policies - a few survived, but many were killed.”
Anitfa is the Lefts’ gestapo-targeting the lives of political opponents through financial devastation or physical attacks. It’s just a matter of time until someone who is beat up for wearing a MAGA hat, or is pulled out of their car by a gang of traffic-stopping thugs, or is attacked with a bike lock or a stick is killed. Just for having their own political views. A young man, Joshua Witt was recently stabbed for having the wrong haircut-it was buzzed on the sides, so his attackers though he was a Neo-Nazi. Fortunately he escaped with cuts to his hands, but he says the attacker was aiming toward his head.
This insanity would not be allowed to grow if not for the compliciity of the propaganda machine, MSM. They are denying, normalizing, and justifying Antifa.
Chris Smith Stfu
Example of low IQ individuals just following orders.
And technically you don't need ID tags as public photography is legal regardless of credentials, as long as they are not interfering with police, which of course they weren't since they were in communication with police on where to stand. So lots of violations of rights here.
@Chris Smith Your birth was staged.
He basically said when I got arrested I had comfort in knowing it was on camera what a true public servant
He looked pretty relaxed about it, I'm sure he'd have panicked if he didn't have all that coverage. I would have
