    CNN's Josh Campell, who also was in the area but not standing with the on-air crew, said he, too, was approached by police, but was allowed to remain.
    "I identified myself ... they said, 'OK, you're permitted to be in the area,'" recounted Campbell, who is white. "I was treated much differently than (Jimenez) was."


    Gee, I wonder why there is so much anger in the country towards law enforcement......

    Great flyby comment, you didn't even read the story. You just see CNN and give a knee-jerk trolling comment.

    Maybe you can answer this.........

    Why do you think these occurrences only apply to a specific region or city?

    The governor has apologized and the reporter is released.

    The white CNN reporter one block away was not arrested in nearly identical circumstances.

    Obviously the problem is finding cops who aren't racist. Must be a problem with the type of person who desires to be in control of others.

    Every constitution-loving rightwinger should be defending this reporter.....

    cop was arrested charged with murder found guilty and went to jail

    so once again please explain the difference why does this only happen in democrat run cities and or states

    There was no apology from the state police. CNN will have that officer canned.

    shouldn't be a problem in the so called un-racist progress north shouldn't?
    unless you want to claim democrat run cities are full of racist more so than the south that doesn't have this happening all the time?

    The problem with the types of people who become cops.

    You get some people in teaching who want to molest children. And you get some people in law enforcement who are sick control freaks.

    Cops in the conservative South are famous for killing blacks. Are you really that ignorant of the history?

    not asking about history I'm talking about here and now
    and the history you talking about is when the south was under democrat control
    the south reformed looks like the north hasn't

    The man was literally doing his job. For decades, the rightwing wanted to claim that this type of thing didn't exist. Even they have come to reality, well, somewhat.
