you're trying to deescalate this situation, this isn't the way you do it. It doesn't matter what your opinion of CNN is. He was on the air when arrested and all he was doing is reporting from the scene.


he was stoking the fire
his network is there to stoke the fire
and you’re a POS to defend them.

Hmm. What content is twitter and facebook producing? Or even, what content is twitter and facebook sharing?

Facebook and twitter are basically a farmer's market that doesn't even charge rent for a stall.

I’m sure that by this evening Don Lemon will have “credible sources” that implicate that it was Trump dressed up in the police riot gear who made the unlawful arrest.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this State Trooper did this intentionally to get the attention of the president and become a martyr of the right.

I hope my president gives this man the medal of Honor for his service. I won't forget his bravery in the battle of CNN.

It's not what they're producing, it's what they're removing and/or editing.

They stopped being this several years ago.

So both were told to move.

One didn’t.

One did.

One was arrested.

One wasn’t.


What’s the problem?

A black was arrested and a white wasn't.

Doesn't matter about anything else, because that's the headline.

It’s just ignorant that people still believe that narrative anymore.

Just like the BR protests when that girl was arrested by state police.

Police told them to stay out the street and everything would be fine. 99% of them did.

She goes out into the street and was then grabbed and walked back towards the line and processed but somehow she became the face of the “movement. “

Everyone just wants attention. She wanted her and this dude wanted his. Both got it due to some false narrative.

There’s an entire video of them asking them where they need to be and showing credentials and saying “we will go wherever you need us to go” and then in response they got arrested

So they were able to arrest a couple of CNN correspondents, yet still no arrests for the cops who killed someone on camera. Everything is flipped upside down right now

I complain about CNN as much as any other conservative in America but say what you will, this is not a good look for the Minnesota state police. The crew identified themselves and asked multiple times where the police wanted them to be and ended up being arrested. Sure, we don't know what happened before this scene and for all we know the troopers could've warned everyone to stay away from where the crew was standing but either way, CNN will use this as fuel to their own fire and go balls to the wall with anti-police agendas.
