Governor Walz signed an executive order calling in the National Guard to “to help protect Minnesotans’ safety and maintain peace in the wake of George Floyd’s death.”
The National Guard was no where to be seen and the 3rd precinct has now been taken over by rioters!
Over 100 businesses were either damaged or destroyed
Reports are circulating on social media that women are being kidnapped and people are now shooting at random cars in the Minneapolis riot.

The CNN Crew was released this morning.
After he and his crew were arrested for doing their job reporting on the Minneapolis protests, and they were just released, @OmarJimenez says on air that the officer who arrested him was cordial but had little information for him, telling him: “I’m just following orders.”

Hooray love it on live TV news crew gets arrested, awesome, send bill to CNN
HOOray again. It couldn’t have happened to more deserving people!
Why hasn’t the State Attorney arrested the Murderer that killed Floyd in broad daylight in front of the whole world? Instead of helping the innocent during these riots, the police are guarding the Murderer’s house by the hundreds ! The murderer knew he was being filmed killing Floyd, this reeks of a False Flag to start civil unrest.
He was arrested for 3rd-degree murder, keep up!
I may have little respect for CNN and fine them highly biased, BUT arresting news crews for doing their jobs is blatant censorship of a service protected by the first amendment. Be careful the actions you cheer on.
CNN is not a news organization. They are a propaganda organization spewing Anti American, crap, working for the Socialist that have taken over the once decent Democratic party. Therefore their employees are not news reporters and have no protection while roaming the streets looking for poor innocent black people wanting revenge for what white people did to their ancestors 150 plus years ago. And of course half the blacks in Minnesota are 1st or 2nd generation Samoli or some other Anarchy state in Africa, or the middle east. Should return all of these who came as refugees over the past 30 years to their home country, or to Easter Island whichever requires less fuel. Or better yet pull 40 year old airlines out of mothballs, send them off on auto pilot with 500 miles worth of fuel.
Your ignorance is overwhelming. CNN whether you subscribe to their reporting is a legitimate news source as much as is FOX.
Maybe they were told to leave that area and did not. No they can not just go where they want to either just because they are a news crew. When Police tell anyone to move away or leave, then you do so. A news crew does not have the almighty say so. They were arrested by Police who also knew they were being recorded. So just like CNN, they won’t tell why they were all arrested. They were for a REASON. But they want to play innocent. Think about why their viewership went form 3,300,000 to 300,000 ? Their BS fake news, people finally wake up to it and do not like being lied to, or not telling the actual facts about things. Such as what you just saw. They all know why they were arrested. Especially when you have a mass of other COPS standing there to see this, they obviously knew why they were arrested and what they did, or did not do before they played innocent. They were warned or told something before, and did not obey. Now you get why people do not watch CNN anymore? If it is something that makes their agenda look bad, it isn’t told or shown. Or it is lied about. MSNBC also plays the same game but not the extreme as CNN, but still bad.
Roger Stone is laughing I wonder if it was the crew that filmed his arrest??
just like cnn,this article said anything except, why they were arrested? so wth is the point of this ad?
Note the crew isn’t white.
Neither were all of the Cops. Oh yes, lets play the RACIST game again with a load more of BS. Looks to me that there are several other races of Cops there. Woody Woodpecker, you are the one who is racist.
The officers responsible have been fired. The businesses are being destroyed. Without the help of the police, this lawlessness will destroy this neighborhood!
LIZ, you meant the 4 Cops responsible for Floyd’s death. Not the ones who arrested the CNN crew. Those who arrested the CNN crew need to get an award ! 🙂
Fired???? One should be prosecuted for first degree murder, and several others as accessories to the murder.
You are absolutely right about all 4 officers being arrested and charged.
And they have been… and rightfully so… So, what’s the reasoning behind destroying Public AND Private Property? Stealing anything that can be picked up and carried away? Beating old women in wheelchairs? What’s the reason for trashing a man’s car, and beating him up, just because he supports the duly elected president of the United States, who had nothing to do with any of these killings? I wasn’t going to say anything, until these black cocksuckers attacked the Old woman and Old Man, coming at them from BEHIND, like cowardly pussies! Well, if these NEGROES would stop breaking laws, then the Police would have no reason to arrest them! If these NEGROES have a beef with an old white woman, at least hit them from the front, instead of behind, or after they had a fire extinguisher emptied in their face! Bunch of f_cking animals… pussies, all…
I believe you are certainly correct. However, it is necessary to do things in order and lawfully. That means the police should complete their initial investigation of the entire incident, reports their findings properly to the district attorney or State’s Attorney, whatever. And it should go from there to a complete evaluation of the evidence and if the evidence is sufficient to be reported to a grand jury. This is all outside what will surely be a police investigation through their internal affairs. Well they can only recommend or Institute on the job punishment such as termination or suspension, Etc, the grand jury can evaluate the evidence and recommended go to trial if the evidence again is sufficient. All this takes certain amount of time even if it is greatly accelerated. The only thing all this rioting and so on is accomplishing is to slow it all down.
There was probable cause to arrest the cops. Do that first and then gather more evidence. That’s what happens to civilians.
Being fired means the police force has found them in violation of their policies meaning they will likely be charged and prosecuted.
You are not hearing anything about those responsible for the unlawful riots and destruction of private properties and taxpayers properties.
This is only creating an opportunity for these predominantly blacks to loot and destroy, we give them,( give), anything and everything plus welfare. How much more will the law abiding citizens allow this to happen?
The democrats, liberals, naacp, black lives matters, and black panthers that are financed and backed by george soros and all the companies and organinizations blackmailed and threatened from these people are directly responsible.
American has been invaded to the point it is nothing like the founded fathers sacrificed everything to make it what it was.
Society and it’s newly established norms have conditioned the police to always take the path of least resistance. It’s a lot easier to arrest a news team than a group of marauding rioters.
That way they look as if they are doing something. In their minds they are diffusing the situation and actually making arrests. Doing exactly as they are supposed to.
Win, win for all involved unless of course you are a law abiding citizen. In that case you are being given the crappy end of this stick
Ruby Ridge , Waco Texas , the feds killed childrens and women without any remorse . No one burned or their neighborghoods . I’m not saying that what the police was right , but what I’m saying is that the actions that we are seeing today are as much criminal as the death of Mr Floyd
The CNN arrest looks FAKE – What is State Patrol? No Badges like Other “Cops” on the scene watch it again it looks Totally Staged & FAKE. Some of the other “Cops” look Confused.
Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!!
TTB- Oh yes, they did all of this fake stuff during Rioting going on at the same time. Wow, I didn’t expect to read something as you wrote. But then, CNN is involved ! 🙂 You watch to much fantasy and make believe stuff.
STATE PATROL is STATE POLICE. If you have a HIGHWAY PATROL in your state they also are STATE POLICE. In AZ they call their Highway Patrol by another name, but same thing. So your state also might have another name as well.
BTW: That was actual arrests. I can guarantee you that they were. You don’t try to pull off BS stuff in front of a mass of other Cops.
With Coronavirus, where are the thieves masks? They can contact the virus because they are in close proximity to each other stealing and carrying TV’s, electronics and clothing form the stores that are breaking into.
WE can only hope all get infected and end up with the worst possible results as that will ensure it will be their last riot and robbery,
