I am not blaming Trump for the arrest, or the rioting, I am blaming him for mocking the Minneapolis folks and PD while this thing is happening. It is not helpful.
Triggered?
He also tweeted "When the looting starts, the shooting starts". Twitter marked the tweet as inciting violence. What a tantrum he must be having!

Actually, they are having an impact. They are destroying their own community and risking turning it into another Detroit.
Yeah....but that part of Minneapolis is NOT the black community. The black community in Minneapolis is the north side. The South Side is highly gentrified. Lake street has a lot of Latino business and other minorities, but many whites live in those communities. What is going on NOW is mostly by whites. I live here.
Wow! I wonder if this story will have legs — if other news media will pick it up. On the face of it, the CNN reporters seem totally in the right. But then again, it was reported on CNN. I am a liberal and don’t dismiss CNN out of hand as an unreliable news source, but here they are reporting about themselves, so, in this case, that does raise some doubts.
I saw the video and the reporter did say that him and his crew would move to where they wanted them too. I’m not a CNN fan either.
Fox News would GTFO of the way in a New York minute when directed. Or set up somewhere where they are out of the way to begin with.
Did you watch what happened? They identified themselves as reporters. They kept asking where they should stand, literally said "we'll go wherever you tell us". They were NOT in anyone's way. Then the police arrested someone else's and CNN was filming it- that's when they got arrested.
They have been released. The governor referred to the arrest as "inadvertant". Odd word choice.
Publicly calling people "very weak" goes beyond mockery. It is childish and pathetic coming from the president. What's the point of such comments when its obvious they are doing all they can to contain the situation. He also said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts", which also comes across horribly childish.
I know you are a Trump apologist, but some things he says are seriously stupid. When you try to defend everything he says it tends to reflect poorly on you as well, because it means you condone/approve idiocy.
Well.... arresting an Afro-Hispanic news reporter might not have been the brightest idea given the context of this riot. . Somewhat like adding fuel to an already burning fire.
It appears that this is the Minnesota State police doing the arrest. Not the Minneapolis city PD.
Stealing, looting and arson are hardly limited to "Afro-Hispanics".
