The Minneapolis State Patrol said this about the incident:
"In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media."

Do the police not realize that there's video? I mean, the guy they arrested with that big camera that they confiscated should have been a pretty clear giveaway. Outright lies by the police involved (multiple departments) has been a constant over the last couple days.
The statement by the Minneapolis police regarding the George Floyd incident stated this:
"After he got out, he physically resisted officers. Officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress"
The video evidence shows no resisting and "appeared to be suffering medical distress" being code for "an officer kneeing him until he died of suffocation" is low even for police.
Keep that in mind the next time there's no video recording. You can't trust the police, they'll out right lie to your faces.
There's also video of a riot police walking by protesters doing nothing illegal, pointing their non-lethal guns at them and saying "give us a reason."
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by the police. ACAB.
