CNN arrest
News-wise it’s been a mad, bad, sad day. Here’s footage of CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez (a black man) and his crew being arrested while reporting. Trump’s America, I guess.
I don’t think this will be forgotten in a hurry, and it shouldn’t be.

The MN state police put out a tweet saying Omar and the crew were let go as soon as they confirmed they were from CNN. Uh huh. How unclear were his credentials and the cameras and microphone?

God, they must have been terrified – and sigh, there are always all these people on the internet screaming about free speech, meaning their right to spew whatever bigoted nonsense they want on social media – but it comes to this and they’re totally silent. :(

There are actually Trump supporters that are saying because Omar remained so calm, the whole thing was staged.🤦🏻♀️

God, that’s always the way isn’t it – anything they don’t want to see, must be fake.

Well, it’s certainly been the case since he took office. They’re just following their Dear Leader’s example.

Overly Devoted Anarchist has shared this video of CNN reporter Omar Jimenez being arrested by Minnesota state police early this morning. They arrested him and his crew despite them showing their credentials and cooperating. If you haven’t seen this please watch it. It’s chilling.
