Sometimes, when you've just stepped on your dick, it's best not to step on it again. FFS...

On the other hand, leave it to CNN to make it into a racial thing.

I saw the entire footage and footage after that guys release. No racial shit nor race card used.

“If you’re just tuning in, you are watching our correspondent Omar Jimenez being arrested by state police in Minnesota,” said anchor Alisyn Camerota. “We’re not sure why our correspondent is being arrested.”

Shortly after, CNN aired an audio report from correspondent Josh Campbell, who was a few blocks away, and said he had been approached by police and after identifying himself as a CNN reporter was allowed to stay on the scene.

“Josh, it’s impossible not to note the difference,” Camerota said. “You are a white guy, Omar Jimenez identifies as black and Latino. ... It’s just impossible not to note the difference here.”

I also won't be surprised if the businesses burned out in the riots won't have their claims paid due to the circumstances of the damage. Some excuse like 'civil unrest' or something.

Good question. I think business ins underwriter or fire and casualty might know (member we know) might know better, but generally I think damage from riot is usually included. Those insurance companies who exclude stuff like this is just no go in my book.

"Acts of War" are generally excluded from insurance claims, but not civil unrest AFAIK.

I think the idea behind that is that in an 'act of war' it is generally a nation-state acting against the entire US, and there are likely to be many claims that could quickly bankrupt an insurance company. Furthermore, unlike fire or flood, there's really very little that any insured can do to mitigate damages from acts of war.

I don't know how many insurance claims were filed following the Sept 11th attacks but I'll bet it was in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Were they paid? I honestly don't know.

I do know that the US Government had (and AFAIK still has) an office where people who were harmed by the 9/11 attacks can submit claims and the US government pays them, but I don't know if, for example, they have to wait until they get a denial from their primary insurance before applying, or whether filing a US government claim precludes them from filing a claim with their insurance company.

I also don't know if the INSURANCE COMPANIES have the ability to file a claim for what amounts to indemnification in the event that they have to pay claims related to 9/11. It would be an interesting question but not germane to this topic, I think.

It's called VMM. Vandalism and Malicious Mischief.
Any decent agent will add it if it's not included.

Good to know. Thank you.
