This sickens me

Watching the replay of the arrest last night of the CNN crew being arrested....

I will bet you anything that if the reporter had been white, this wouldnt have happened.

Im embarrased to be a native Minnesotan. Im speechless.

Another CNN reporter, Josh Campbell, was a half block away broadcasting. Mr. Campbell is white. He was not arrested.
