“It is something I wasn’t expecting,” Jason Carroll of CNN said.

The police’s ejection of CNN reporter Jason Carroll from one of the protest sites in Los Angeles went viral on Monday. (Watch the videos below.) One reason may have been that it caught in-studio host Laura Coates by surprise. “Jason, what’s going on? ... Am I seeing Jason Carroll being ― what happened?” Coates asked on her show as footage rolled of Carroll being walked away by cops with his hands behind him. “I’m being detained,” he replied. Addressing the officers, Carroll asked, “I’m not being arrested, correct, officers?” Another officer could be heard saying to the journalist, “Did you hear what they told you?” “No,” Carroll answered. “We’re letting you go, but you can’t come back,” the officer responded. “Because then if you come back in, then you go. OK, please?” “OK, thank you, officer,” Carroll replied. The two exchanged pleasantries before someone with The New York Times walked by and let Carroll know he had footage of the encounter in case he needed it.
Live on CNN Monday night, CNN reporter Jason Carroll was being detained during a report on the Los Angeles protests.
