From YT description: "Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! Speaks About Being Arrested at RNC. It is now official! The government is now arresting protesters before they even protest. They go and get them in their house. The police arrested last week an ABC reporter now Amy Goodman and others from democracy now and also an AP photographer. The ABC reporter being arrested can be seen in the video responses. He was trying to get photographs and interviews with special lobbyists for the democrats and was arrested."

And the snowball gets bigger as it rolls downhill, gaining more and more momentum.

Amy Goodman seems to have become the poster woman for the police misconduct at St. Paul, but I think her case is probably the least heinous and mildest of most of the cases I've read about. To my knowledge the producers of Democracy Now have since been released, but the crimes perpetrated by St. Paul police have not been answered. In my opinion the public should demand the resignation of the mayor, police commissioner, and all other leaders who were in charge of police conduct during this time, but I haven't heard a peep suggesting any of those actions.

UPDATE: Hey, those are some pretty inflammatory comments up there, huh? I stand by them, but not without evidence. I don't have access to a Sift Blog and I wasn't sure if dumping links into a Sift Talk post is really appropriate, but the links springing up in the comments of a recent Ars Technica article have some pretty good information in them.

The Right Wing considers independent media a very real threat to their power hold.

What the police did in St. Paul was all about punishing any and all types of protest.

And the Republicans supported it 100%.
