George Floyd death: Governor of Minnesota apologizes to CNN news crew following their arrest

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz apologized to CNN reporter Omar Jimenez and his crew for their arrest at the hands of police in Minneapolis early Friday morning.

Officers gave no explanation as they escorted reporter Omar Jimenez away early Friday on live television. He had just shown a protester being arrested when about half a dozen police officers in gas masks surrounded him. More than an hour later, the crew was released.

“What gave me one bit of comfort was that it happened on live TV,” Jimenez told viewers after he was released. “You don’t have to doubt my story it’s not filtered in any way; you saw it with your own eyes.”
