Incorrect, the white film crew was not arrested.
Yes they were. Did you notice that they are literally the last people left on that street? Something tells me they were told to get the hell out several times, as everybody else left. They are the last people on a chokepoint of two groups of law enforcement officers.
Being a reporter doesn't mean you can defy law enforcement orders.
Much like being a police officer doesn't mean you can defy basic humanity rights to a citizen.
"Police say CNN crew refused to move
State troopers detained Jimenez, producer Bill Kirkos and photojournalist Leonel Mendez shortly after 5 a.m. CT (6 a.m. ET) as Jimenez was reporting live from a street south of downtown, near where a police precinct building was earlier set ablaze."
It later says all 3 were arrested and released.
That's from CNN itself.
