Police briefly detained CNN correspondent Jason Carroll while on air during the network's coverage of the Los Angeles protests.
CNN was covering the protests live when in-studio anchors briefly lost contact with Carroll, who could be seen being led away from the protests by Los Angeles Police Department officers with his hands behind his back. Carroll returned to the mic, informing the anchors: "I am being detained."
An officer then can be heard telling Carroll: "We're letting you go. You can't come back. If you come back, you will be arrested."
Carroll then thanked the officers after being left behind the police perimeter.
"I was called over, and the officer told me to put my hands behind my back. I said, 'Am I being arrested?' and he said, 'You are being detained,'" Carroll explained. He later added that he clarified who he was and that he was with CNN, to no avail. "They did not put me in zip ties, but they did grab both my hands as I was escorted over to the side. They said you are being detained while we lead you out of this area. You are not allowed to be in this area."
