This is unbelievable. Minneapolis police just arrested black CNN reporter Omar Jimenez live on air even after he identified himself. I’ve never seen anything like this.

#GeorgeFloyd #MinneapolisRiot #omarjimenez White CNN reporter Josh Campbell also covering same protest says he was treated really well & hasn’t been arrested. Meanwhile his black colleague Omar Jimenez has been arrested. This is not how to calm things down in a riot. #GeorgeFloyd #GeorgeFloydprotest

Every person in power in India needs to take responsibility for the horrific gang rapes there. That includes Bollywood producers and stars! Time to get rid of item numbers where one scantily clad female is made to dance for hundreds of lustful men in a dark room.
