Issue here is you can't hear the police officers, you can only hear the reporter.

They could have been telling him to leave and he was ignoring them.

They are CNN. They are not reporters. They are liberal propagandist hacks.


It’s still a bad look considering the police watched as their precinct burned down and they did nothing. Minneapolis burns and the police decide the people they’re arresting are a news crew.

If you hear the reporter calmly and respectfully identifying himself and asking what the Cops want him to do, your statement is asinine.

I just find the mindset that Breesus is exhibiting to be funny. They will defend the right of the likes of CNN to have the ability to manipulate their lives and restrict their freedoms based on some hokey concepts that have been taken away long ago. It's the same mindset that defends big tech's ability to restrict your speech because they're a "private company" and we have a "free market".

Listen, I don’t give a rats arse about a thief’s opinion.

You are a low life thief. But don’t get mad at me because you steal.

They could have been telling him to leave and he was ignoring them. Unless of course you can hear the officers? Because I can't.

A TV channel that attacks president Trump 24x7 is not part of the free press.

In what world is Omar saying "ok sir, please tell me where you want me to go and I will go there" ignoring them?

the apologizing for incompetence on the part of the police is why black people are so frustrated.

Exactly. Want to know who has helped ensure the first Amendment is virtually meaningless and that the govt and police feel they have the right to oppress and violate people’s roghts? CNN did. When the media wing of the govt is arrested by the govt, it’s amusing.

They don't stop being the press just because you disagree with them.

That's kinda what that whole constitution thing is all about.

Well, I’m no CNN fan but I think it’s a slippery slope to start arresting journalists for reporting no matter the spin they put on the news in general.

I don’t know how to feel about that. It’s a new issue we’re dealing with. On the one hand, I get the point of those companies of “if you don’t like how we run our platform, start your own” but then there aren’t any platforms that restrict liberal speech at the same rate so they should be open forums for all

A thief preaching about the sanctity of the Constitution.

Bro, I disagree with the Final Call News, but they are the free press. CNN is not, and it has nothing to do with whether I agree or disagree with them.
