"A black reporter from CNN was arrested while legally covering the protests in Minneapolis. A white reporter also on the ground was not," the news network tweets.
Jimenez "has been taken into police custody during a live broadcast at the site of the protests in Minneapolis, after clearly identifying himself to officers," CNN said on its website. "Jimenez's crew, including a producer and a camera operator, were also placed in handcuffs." In a CNN video of the arrest, the reporter is seen reporting about another arrest on the scene, saying: "We have got one person being arrested here," before telling his colleagues in the studio: "We are speaking with state patrol now. Give us a second, guys." Jimenez then addresses police, saying: "We can move back to where you like here. We are live on the air at the moment. This is the four of us, we are one team. Just put us back where you want us.
