    Cops confiscated the camera, but it's still live.

    CNN is pointing out, correctly, its camera crew is under arrest and Derick Chauvin isn’t

    You forget one thing: those guys only go after soft targets. They don’t want to mess with a crowd of angry black men.

    I’ve said here before and I’ll say it again: the American police officer is the best job in this country. You can do whatever you want to whomever and never face consequences thanks to your police union, which at this point is just a branch of the NRA. You’re retired in your 40s or 50s with that sweet, sweet defined benefit government pension. While they try and bust every other union in this country, you get left alone since everyone’s been on your dick as a “hero” since 9-11.

    unless you’re a black officer or a woman, of course. In that case, you better mind your Ps and Q’s.

    After the CNN arrest, might be time for the ol police chief to take the early retirement package and resign.

    I’ve seen a report it was not the Minneapolis PD.

    Edit: see post above

    Twitter flagged Trump’s looting tweet?

    I’m sure the sociopath will take that well.

    They put it on the official White House account.

    Fair enough. MPD appears to have abdicated its role, to some degree - last night proved that.

    They aren't a highly-trained, investigative force of super sleuths for nothing.

    It only took them an hour, including transporting them all downtown, to confirm that a guy holding a microphone, who identified himself as a reporter and who had a badge that said CNN on it, who was there with a producer and a cameraman who was pointing a $10,000 camera at him as he described the scene around him, were members of the media.
