Here's another not-nearly-enough-information-contained-in-the-video video for you to peruse from the RNC protests. (This is a contextual accompaniment to joedirt's fine sift showcasing the
Amy Goodman arrest.)
Sourced from the
St. Paul Star Tribune:
The alternative broadcaster [Amy Goodman] was handcuffed and stripped of her Monday floor credentials, she said, after she rushed to the scene of a mass arrest near Jackson Street downtown hoping to extricate two producers caught up in the crackdown.
The producers -- Nicole Salazar and Sharif Abdel Kouddous -- eventually were arrested on suspicion of felony riot, and Goodman was cited for misdemeanor interference with a peace officer. They were jailed for five hours; Goodman for about three, she said.
...
According to her account, she [Goodman] was at the Xcel Energy Center preparing to interview members of the Minnesota delegation when she got word of her producers being entangled in police action against a rogue band of protesters.
Police moved in quickly, Goodman said, and Salazar, who was taping the altercation, found herself backed up against a car. Salazar shouted, "Press, press," Goodman said, but the producer was forced to the ground, and had a boot placed in her back.
There had been no order by police to disperse, Goodman said.
