MINNEAPOLIS CNN employee Michael Cooper is suing the Minnesota State Patrol after he was arrested in May 2020 during the unrest related to the death of George Floyd. Cooper, a Black man, was working as a security officer for the CNN crew that was covering the protests in Minneapolis.
Cooper was detained in the Hennepin County Jail for nearly 20 hours for a curfew violation and unlawful possession of a firearm, according to his legal team.
