COLUMBUS, OH - MAY 28: Columbus Ohio police officers stand guard while other officers arrest two men who they caught near the Ohio Statehouse following a protest which turned violent in Downtown, Columbus. What started as a peaceful demonstration near the Ohio Statehouse in solidarity with other protests throughout the country against the killing of Minneapolis, Minnesota resident George Floyd, turned into a riot after police and protesters clashed on May 28, 2020 in Columbus, Ohio. As protesters dispersed, looters began smashing windows in buildings including the Ohio Statehouse and local retail on Broad Street in Downtown Columbus. (Photo by Matthew Hatcher/Getty Images)

"We can move back to where you'd like. Put us back where you want us. Wherever you want us, we will go. We were just getting out of your way while you were advancing through the intersection. Just let us know and we gotcha." – CNN reporter Omar Jimenez pic.twitter.com/5Ozabn2DqY
