“A TV reporter was among the first of 42 people arrested on a Minnesota highway Monday as law enforcement broke up a protest reacting to an officer-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
As the camera rolled, Jack Highberger of local Fox affiliate KMSP-TV announced that officers had begun to clear the road. “This is the first arrest right here; it’s certainly not going to be the last,” Highberger said into a camera, seconds before he, too, was cuffed.
”You want to be next? Then get going,” a Minnesota State Patrol officer said, hardly waiting for a response before arresting Highberger. People with cameras crowded around to snap a shot.”
