Amid the raging Minneapolis riots, US President Donald Trump has assured Minnesota Governor Tim Walz that he is ready to send in the military in the event that local authorities are unable to bring the city under control.

People on social media have been sharing photos and videos of CNN reporter Omar Jimenez being arrested by Minnesota state police during a live broadcast - supposedly without explanation.

According to one Twitter user, the cameraman and producer of Jimenez's team have been arrested as well. The crew was covering the ongoing protests and riots in Minneapolis in the wake of the death of George Floyd at the hands of local police.
