He literally says this is a public apology to that crew...

He said apology to the twitter. still disgusting they just apologizing because everything got screwed.

was omar checked for documentation?

have the police officers apologize live on media

Yoonbread I bet sucker demanded an apology on air. A very forced apology

Seriously? So they are above the law?? WOW!! So if they trespass or obstruct...there is no repercussions? Perhaps they did not deserve it in this instance, but to say they should never be arrested? Yikes

ITS FAKERY

where do i sign up? lol

Reporters don't get arrested for covering news. Reporters all over the world, except for communist countries are always on the front line. They are their to document history. As early as 1850 during the Civil War they were there documenting stories. Reporters were there in 1890 covering the massacre of Wounded Knee in which 25 soldiers and 250 Indians were killed. Reporters are only arrested in countries in which the tyrant leaders don't want the info to surface.

Alivia, Idiotic statement. The reporter should rot in jail.

ikr?

Explain to me please as forgein what else should the Governor done? Yes he could perhaps fire or made someone to fire these officers, they will say it was an order from above and they above say no and no one else knows the truth and in the end it wouldnt even matter. I think the problem starts on two major points: 1. society - there is so much distrust between police and the people. 2. Police training - Here in Germany and also almost every other european country you have to study 3 years to become a police officer. In these 3 years police officer learn how to handle almost every situation the probably encounter.

@@Earthinet - As we all know from the Nuremberg trials, acting under orders is no excuse for breaking the law.

@@Earthinet Regardless of where you are from, when you break the law you are responsible for the repercussions of that. These officers broke the law when they arrested these people. If they were "just following orders", then the person who gave those orders needs to ALSO be held accountable. "I'm sorry" doesn't absolve you in any court of law I know of. SOMEONE is *legally* responsible for kidnapping this crew. I want to know who gave the order, what the order was, and what the *legal* justification was to take this action. Even if the officer(s) want to use the ol' following orders line, they need to appropriately question those orders and if those orders were to arrest, they NEED to have the mental fortitude to question "arrest them for what?" The governor is right. If civilians see the media being arrested, it gives the impression the police don't want to be held accountable for what they are doing...which we all know is true. The police have repeatedly asserted that they are above the law and the courts have repeatedly enforced their assertions. What should the governor have done? Held someone responsible...and if that means falling on the grenade and taking the criminal record for ordering officers to violate civil rights, then THAT'S what he needed to do. Again, "Sorry" doesn't work in ANY court of law I know of and when someone gets abducted...SOMEONE needs to be on trial.

If it was this simple than why can’t this work both ways.. “Oops, I’m sorry I ran the red light.. it’s on me, it’s my fault.. I take responsibility... let’s move forward”

@Somerset Frisby he's a puppet or a plain dumb guy, I don't know

He is afraid of the Turner lawyers.

Those people are hooligans and should be arrested

He SAID "this is a very public apology to that team" what else did you want?

He literally did what are you on about

Victorian Sculptures for you to not at me and keep it pushing if you don’t like my comment. We can start with that.

Yes!

My god stfi 🤣🤣

Of course he did. Otherwise this would not have happened.

I'd pay good money to hear that conversation lmao

Pay per view, I’ll pay as well. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Wow. Jeff Zucker, the chief architect of "The Tonight Show" debacle that harmed the careers of both Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, this guy actually did something cool.

If I was the cnn president I wouldn't scream, I would start the call with "you have something I want."

I am sure he was surrounded by CNN's lawyers while calmly and carefully weighting every word he says making it not really interesting to watch unfortunately.

Pres. Ronald Reagan "words you never want to hear" "we're from the government, we're here to help"

45thpaace Those are two different situations in two different countries with completely different mindsets and governments An analogy is not suited

NatioN EpaV Not true.

Simoné good. He should be.

The stress of mega embarrassment

That deep breath comes from knowing that there are good and bad police both out there right now and everything they do will fall on his shoulders... Because bad cops never pay for their crimes. I'd be exhausted too.

yes, it is. I don;t know if you noticed but all those cops who stood by and who committed those crimes, none of them look like they could have passed a physical....why are they even on the force? at some point PDs need to understand that this typr of behaviour just goes against everything they're supposed to stand for. and hurts everyone

Эндрю Дмитриевич even if that man the black man was a criminal his life has not been taken because in America we have innocent until proven guilty not the police being the judge jury and executioner. And what if they accidentally got the wrong man I don’t know why he got arrested I haven’t looked into it yet but what if they accidentally picked up the wrong guy who had the same shirt color as him. if he did something illegal then yes he deserves to go to jail but after due process not being Murdered murdered.

@Эндрю Дмитриевич they were told to stand there and not only that but the officer never told them to leave. They had the camera for a couple of minutes and not once did they say leave.

@Эндрю Дмитриевич and yes the guy did have a criminal record but he was still killed when he told the officer that he couldn't breathe. He wasn't resisting arrest or anything.

@Эндрю Дмитриевич yup set up

We're all waiting for it... Such an stupid Governor Minessonta has.

Exactly!!

Yes. And I quote from Omar (the reporter who was arrested) ... the cop said..."I don't know man.. I am just *following* orders."

Reporting the news while Black.🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

Time for a lawsuit for unlawful arrest!!!

I don't think it was respectable at all. He's taking responsibility for something he didn't do, in order to avoid having to hold the people who were actually responsible accountable for their actions. It's a sleezeball move.

Omar asked why he was being arrested and they wouldn't answer. They just proceeded to cuff him even though he identified himself as a CNN reporter with his crew. He said they were standing there because they were told to move from where they were previously standing. He said tell us where to go and we'll go. They said nothing. Just led him away and then cuffed the producer and cameraman. The camera was put down and it continued taping until I guess police figured out it was on and turned it off. Yes something more than an apology needs to be done. A complaint should be made. I wish I could have heard that phone call.

@@cbjersey7419 In my opinion we have a right to hear that communication, they are public servants.

Exactly.

Clearly they don’t take accountability for anything

Lol

✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

What does the sign language mean?

SecretProfessionalProtagonist What the government is saying

Hahaha

As long as the man behind the proto call owns up to it and apologizes for it then theirs a starting point the rest can be fix over time

Mr Bean would be a better fit to handle the police department

Mr Bean is way too intelligent

Why are you insulting Mr. Bean?

Mr.bean has PhD's and is a profeser

*Don't insult* Mr Bean. He is a "national *treasure* "

They already did. There was another group of reporters of lighter skin not far away when Omar was arrested, and they were NOT arrested.

lmao! lol

sxythe Please respect the deaf community. The interpreter is not there for your amusement nor is making fun of signing.

@@timeofchange101 sorry but she funny asf

🤣🤣🤣

@@timeofchange101 sorry you are so inspirational

Yes, so much for their cherished First Amendment.

Camilla Andersen we don’t know why. The cop said he was just following orders. The reporter doesn’t know why he was arrested. We can assume he was arrested because he was black.

@orphan 200 Only for the hearing.

Yeah.... not the best word choice? Ugh.

@Anne Deobald No, police all over the US *still* don't have much regard for the lives of African Americans. That's all.

If my guys went around erresting innocent high profile people I’d be pissed too.

🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
