An unnamed man went off on a CNN reporter in an expletive-laden rant as riots unfolded across Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday night following the officer-involved shooting death of Daunte Wright, which took place during a traffic stop.
Police say that the fatal shooting was an accident and that a responding officer mistook a handgun for a Taser.
During a live shot, an unidentified man approached CNN reporter Sara Sidner and insisted that the media’s presence in Minneapolis was exacerbating riots.
“Now, you can see y’all be twisting up the story,” the man told Sidner while appearing to try to take her microphone.
“All right, so tell me what you think about what’s going on,” Sidner responded.
Clearly agitated, the man explained, “What I think about this, it’s all the press and all the extra s**t y’all do makes this worse. When people want to protest, they shouldn’t do it in front of a f***in’ police station, yeah, courthouse, s**t like that. You get what the f*** I’m saying? Y’all need to get up out of here withal that twisting the media and s**t.”
