The governor apologized for it but again what are the cops thinking? He I broadcasting and has all his media credentials and they all stand around looking stupid then they cuff him. He was later released after the governor spoke with the head of CNN. Highly trained? NOT!

I watched it and could not believe it... What were they thinking, doing something so egregious on live TV? One might conclude that some folks are untrainable, fmdog44!

Hopefully, they will be sued for unlawful arrest and someone in a position of power should be fired. What's going on, America?

What was the charge? When you are arrested, you must be made aware of the charge or charges. They can’t tell you not to worry about. We’ll tell you later.
