Police in Minneapolis released a CNN reporter who was led off in handcuffs along with his film crew while reporting live on television during protests in the city
Police officers face protesters after a white police officer was caught on a bystander's video pressing his knee into the neck of African-American man George Floyd, who later died at a hospital, in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S. May 28, 2020. REUTERS/Adam Bettcher
The striking footage of the arrest could add to racial tension in the city and across the country, where sympathy protests have taken place. Jimenez is black, while most of the police officers who arrested him appeared to be white. CNN anchor John Berman told viewers about an hour after the arrest that CNN President Adam Zucker had spoken with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who said he “deeply apologizes” and was working to have the crew released immediately.
