CNN Crew Arrested While Live On Air In Minneapolis

Members of CNN's working media were arrested early Friday morning by Minneapolis State Patrol. Reporter Oscar Jimenez was live on the air when officers arrested him and his crew.

The journalists were covering the unrest in the city because of protests over the death of George Floyd. The team was trying to get out of the way of the officers when they were arrested.

The crew was in custody for an hour before they were released. Jimenez later said on air that one officer told him, "I'm just following orders." CNN President Jeff Zucker talked with Minnesota

Governor Tim Walz. Walz apologized saying the arrests should not have happened. What do you expect will happen this weekend?
