I agree with you. I think one of the reasons there’s so much pent up anger coming out in these riots has nothing to do with race. Its not just because it’s being exploited and whipped up by Antifa, but because even many ordinary citizens have a lot of resentment against heavy handed police enforcement of their local authorities’ “lockdown” rules.

The cops are responding by getting more and more authoritarian and violent themselves (remember the “takedown” of the lone kayaker in CA?). I think that in this case they had told the camera crew to move and the crew was doing so, with the reporter simply asking where the cops wanted them to move to. But I guess it wasn’t fast enough for the cops.

Sorry, even though it’s CNN that got arrested, it’s nothing to cheer about.

CNN just reported that Zucker talked to MN Guv, and he apologized for the arrest, and Guv said it was “unacceptable” what happened.
