Amy Goodman arrested at RNC. Outraged yet?

[kevyn]

Still questioning whether or not we're in a police state yet?

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! (one of the few journalists I actually trust) was arrested today at the RNC in St. Paul, Minnesota. So much for the rights of free press and peaceful assembly.

Gotta teach them journalists a lesson in who's the boss.

It's not that I'm not outraged - it's more that (as a one-time resident of both Twin Cities) I'm more disappointed in a bullshit overreaction on the part of law enforcement - so much for "good neighbors".

Thing is, there's indications that it's not actually the St. Paul police who are behind this, but the feds.

Even less surprising.
