'The protesters stopped protesting whatever it was they were protesting and turned on us, and that was a very different feeling,' he said.
During a live broadcast Friday, Jimenez and his crew were arrested on air by Minnesota State Patrol after identifying themselves and showing their press credentials. "We are live on the air at the moment.
... Just put us back where you want us, just let us know. Wherever you want us, just let us know," Jimenez tells police officers before one comes behind him with handcuffs. “Do you mind telling me why I’m under arrest, sir?" After getting identification information from himself and his crew, he said"they eventually came back with our belongings ... unclipped our handcuffs" and led the crew out."There was a moment, minutes after it happened where things started to sink in a little bit," he said."I was just as confused as you." Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz later apologized at a news conference and said he takes"full responsibility" for the incident. "There is absolutely no reason something like this should happen," he told journalists. "This is a very public apology to that team." CNN's headquarters in Atlanta damaged Friday by a group of protesters who also fought with police and set cars afire. While police tried to keep them away from the CNN Center, demonstrators broke windows there and scrawled obscene graffiti on the network's logo.
