The producer and camera man were not so it was not strictly based on race. I just find it very convenient there is no other video of the arrest. They were probably the only camera crew around and the cops wanted them gone.

Either of them. CNN essentially controls the story. The cops could have thought they could have quietly gotten rid a potential source of trouble.

The cops could have controlled the story by not arresting a journalism crew.

And that is a defense of the cops' actions how?
