CNN correspondent Sara Sidner can be heard violently coughing from tear gas inhalation while covering the DHS protests roaring through Minneapolis after another person was shot and killed by federal officers Saturday morning.
It’s all in the clip — she can be heard choking as she reports on federal agents throwing tear gas canisters to disperse crowds of angry protestors, who can also be seen fleeing the scene. Sidner describes the military-grade gas as “extreme” as she informs her colleagues they must get inside.
The camera can barely cut through the gas as the smoky cloud thickens in the street.
As you know, tensions are at an all-time high in Minnesota after federal officers fatally shot a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident, who is believed to be an American citizen.
