Days after the presidential complaint of Twitter policies, the direct television detention of America's CNN crew showed a real crime against the fundamental amendment. trump twitter

For several days, President Trump has been on a rampage against Twitter because of his treatment of him, and it's easy to see why. Early Friday morning, after tweeting about the violence in Minneapolis, he declared: "When looting begins, shooting begins", Twitter sent policemen to the White House, who tied Mr. Trump and placed him in custody on live TV. For the whole nation. donald trump twitter

Sorry, quick check the facts: It didn't happen in the fewest number possible. The president remains free and tweet. Twitter, a personal company, is still liberal to set rules on using its services. The president's reported tweets - "fire" suspension and misleading attack on mail voting - are available to read, the basis for a notice that he violates service rules on glorifying violence, and the second with the attached fact-checking link. Atlanta

The arrest on Friday live TV was Omar Jimenez, the CNN correspondent, and his crew, who handcuffed and exited the destroyed Minneapolis building, covering the coverage of protests and violence after the murder of a black man, George Floyd, in police custody. Taylor Swift

The incident, which unfolded for several minutes, was tense and horrific. But its minimum serves an illustration purpose. After days of hot air that insisted on insisting on the politician's "right" to use a personal platform without a correction, America needs to know what an actual violation looks like against the basic amendment .atlanta news 

It looked like global news footage of a dictatorship. Mr. Jiménez, dressed in a mask amid a coronavirus pandemic, negotiates calmly with officers, tests, and collects on camera. He tells them they are escaping from the air, and he offers them to get away from them: "Bring us back where you want us." twitter trump

He was told You are under arrest

He asks why and does not get an answer. Go on to the amazing play of reporters at CNN Studio. (Mr. Jiménez is black and Latino. It should be noted that given the racial dynamics of the Minneapolis protests, a CNN White reporter covering the story also said that he was treated with much more literature.) cnn atlanta

Then the producer is caught, then the photographer, until a politician finally picks up the camera and turns away from it, the screen scrambles as if we, the audience, are holding us, to get close, to see a lot of money, to see someone incorrectly. cnn crew arrested 

The official explanation for the arrest was that the CNN crew refused the maneuver on police orders, which was ridiculous when looking at what the world saw and heard live. "I've never seen anything like this before," said broadcaster John Berman. cnn live

But we saw things like that, a little while ago, if not blatantly and shyly. Police in Ferguson, Missouri, gave a consistent rationalization in 2014 to detain journalists - and ordered a reporter to "stop the video cnn reporter arrested

In the past, though, arrests of journalists working for a news agency described by the president as "the people's enemy" had not occurred. This did not happen with a president who once tweeted back with a video of a doctor who showed him beating someone with the CNN logo on his face. cnn reporters arrested

This did not happen during the president's tenure when the president threatened to take punitive measures against a personal social media platform for suggesting that the misleading information he tweeted was misleading. The president seems to regard his inconvenience as a violation of freedom, and actual freedom of the press is troublesome. omar jimenez cnn

It is among the highest levels that the only true link between Mr. Trump's allegations of repression and thus the violation we have seen on morning cable TV. Actual censorship occurs when the government acts to suppress protected speech, not when a personal company establishes rules for using its platform. 

A few hours before the arrest, Trump posted a tweet on the "Shooting" streak, which Miami Commander Walter Headley used in 1967 to justify the crackdown of protesters for civil rights.

For years, he used his prolific and unfiltered speech to argue that the police must have a blank check in dealing with threats, which among the only threats are the media like CNN.

By Friday noon, the president was still laughing freely about Twitter on Twitter. His account did not mention the CNN arrests.

On that morning, Mr. Jimenez and his crew were released, with an apology from the Minnesota Governor. But the messages have already been sent. The arrest told all media outlets that people in progress were now feeling sufficient power to close coverage of the disturbances - disturbances caused by police violence - from Hell inside the skin.
