> 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

Get to know some black people and talk to them about their experiences. The chances that race were a factor in this arrest are better than 50%.

A Black reporter is more likely to be filming people similar to himself peacefully protesting, rather than focusing on the damages caused by agents provocateurs (there is video of the windows of Autozone being smashed by a dude who is definitely not a protestor).

Heck at this point the police probably have facial recognition cameras that identify a reporter and assign them a score based on how friendly their past coverage has been.
