> Black correspondent Omar Jimenez had just shown a protester being arrested when about half a dozen white police officers surrounded him.

Is there any reason to assume racism? it looks like two other people in the camera crew got arrested and they don't look black. It looks to me like CNN is trying to play the race card to stir controversy when there are millions of other more likely explanations

The other team a block away was white and didn't get arrested.

If it was because the reporters here were 'too close' then that does kind of fit the narrative the cops gave, except they should have told them where they should go instead of arresting them of course.

Still, does not make it racism. Plenty of cops make bad decisions, it doesn't make them all racist.

They were live on TV, so you can tell the cop's explanation was BS. When told they had to move, the reporter asked where was OK, at which point he was arrested. The crew was given no chance to comply with the orders.
