What do you think?

I think it's a stunt, me, me me. Reporters now want to be a part of the news. Especially news they love, like private property being destroyed by hoodlums.

I take it they are not enforcing social distancing in these riots. /sarc

[RasterMaster]

Mining for that Pulitzer!

Minneapolis may well emerge as the new Gary, Indiana: a thug-infested, broke, and dangerous city in which the police force operates in fear and weakness.

If I had a business in one of these areas and people in my neighborhood destroyed and looted it or allowed BLM to come in with out of towners to destroy/loot and stood by and did nothing, I’d take the insurance, tell the city where to get off, and never come back. Let it look like a war zone.

[HereInTheHeartland]

My guess is the CNN crew deliberately did something to get arrested and then payed dumb.
Provocation.

We need ANOTHER ‘Stormin’ Norman, had enough of the sit in the back shuddering they may weewee someone off general officers.

Keep in mind that most of the current Generals and Admirals got there under the prissy pants kenyan usurper. Four more years of a REAL President are needed to completely clear things up.

Democrat controlled State. Democrat controlled City. Democrat controlled Town. Democrat controlled police force arrests Democrat controlled propaganda arm reporting on Democrat brown shirts sacking the Democrat city.
Meanwhile Democrat defense attorney for the police says the police won’t be charged because no crime was committed.
And who are all of them blaming today? Trump.
Wake up America. The war is here.

That is the best summary of the situation I have seen yet.

Cop:”You have to move”
Reporter:”I have a 1st Amendment right...”

Cop:”You have to wear a mask”
Reporter:”I will comply obediently”.

“Tim Walz has activated the state National Guard”

Oh, so now Timmy likes the military.

Who knew.

[tbpiper]

Fierce protests

Newspeak for "riots".

[asinclair]

Provocation.

I'm waiting to see if the cops release body-cam footage documenting their charges.

I witnessed a similar case of cops v news back in the 70s; detailed in a related thread.

A million years ago, I was FReeping at the Capital in Austin. A CNN reporter asked for an interview. I agreed. He then started to commandeer the sidewalk, telling people they could not use it.

I said, “What are you doing? This is a public sidewalk. Who do you think you are? You have no right to tell people they can’t walk here. This interview is over.”

A Reuters photographer was much nicer, and I was thrilled when the pic he took of my FReeping made the front page of several European Dailies.

Like I said, (maybe) rude and crude but he did save HIS troops from an ‘accident’.

If your ‘boss’ doesn’t give you a safe environment to work in, who does????

[Vaduz]

If a cop tells you you to do something during a riot logic and reasoning says do it.

[grey_whiskers]

TOP KEK!!

The political leadership in Minneapolis is rabid anti-Trumpers.

The arrest of CNN people CANNOT be blamed on him.

[grey_whiskers]

HE’s lucky they didn’t kneel on his neck. /sauce for the goose> /sarc>

[GOPJ]

Becoming Baltimore ... yep.

[simpson96]

Pshh, rules don’t apply to liberals - they have good intentions! /sarc

“The Minneapolis City Council is the governing body of the City of Minneapolis. It consists of 13 members, elected from separate wards to four-year terms. The Council is dominated by members of the DFL (the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party), with a total of 12 members. The Green Party of Minnesota has one member, Cam Gordon. “

Aside from a 2-day office-holder, the City of Minneapolis has had one Republican mayor since WWII, and that mayor left office in 1961.
