  • In Canada, I am being psycholgically, sexually, emotionally, financially, socially tortured and bullied for last 2 years, openly for the crime of using my civil right of not speaking with Toronto police. Based on their unsubstantiated self serving theories they put me under 24 hrs video surveillance, they openly go around instigating hatred, slandering my name at my employment and I am being tortured everywhere i go, including at work, openly with management involved. Canada is not a democracy.

  • You have no idea what a reporter is. Which is anyone telling and reporting the facts in a clear and decisive manner for the masses of a republic. She does just that. You have a choice to lesson or not. I wish to, cause she tell the facts and leaves it up you on you own opinion.

  • For the police this is just being trained for something that is around the corner, and does it look like the good of the people (in general) is cherished?

  • what a tragedy. the real news topics and commentators are high in caliber. what a time to not check focus though! it's amy goodman after all!

  • damn I hate the country I live in. It disgusts me :(

  • resistance is the ans for journalists ....camera in 1 hand .armalite in the other...

  • ive been going through this with cops in cali my whole life now she no's what its like

  • There is no denying that the US is a fascist country! Despite public outcry the abuses continue unabated. Next we will start hearing about cancelled elections and disappearances of people! Unshockingly, the political party that is responsible for the totalitarianism stands a good chance of winning the next election!

  • I agree, the Canadian Prime minister called an illegal early election to achieve a majority government. Some people believe if he wins a majority in October that Bush will implement the NAU before his term is over this year. Killing US, Canada and Mexico's sovereignty.

  • Didn't Canadian police use similar tactics of using infiltrators to instigate protesters in Quebec? I'm starting to believe that the oligarchs of North America want to impliment a NAU fuedal/slave state!You are right!

  • Thank goodness for U-tube or we would have

    known nothing of this. She is so right this

    is unacceptable and we need someone representing the people.. man up main stream

    press and show this on the major news. Ignore

    this and it will be all of you next.

  • Do the people responsible for this abuse really think they should continue breathing our air?

  • Sy NO to implanted I.D. chips! They can track you globally by your cell-phone, even when it's turned off. FIGHT THE POWER

  • Sad times :-(

  • Those fuckin cops

  • Pepe Escobar needs a good jackbooting! :-)

  • LOL, I find it very interesting that there are obviously many people amazed by the fact that the US is not a Democracy ...

  • So, what more does anyone need to determine ALL the ponies in the race work for the CFR & AIPAC "globalist" cabal. The elections are in fact rigged, massive censorship, the mainstream mediaopoly is owned and operated by a few fanatical terrorists giving you THEIR version of reality. ALL candidate hosted videos on You Tube are censored heavily (now why IS that)?? But NOT for Ron Paul (who is a REAL conservative patriot). We keep hearing "democracy" but the books I've read say were a Republic.

  • Sorry, not undermined - underpinned!

  • Accountability, Transparency, Integrity & protection of the interests of justice + and an effective impartial press are vital to a healthy democracy that is undermined by a strong Constitution + independent judiciary!

    Justice must not only be done + but manifestly seen to be done!

  • as long as the damages don't come out of their pocket what incentive to they have obey the law? I say put 1/2 of the officers salary on check and by his conduct remand it to his/her victims...or to him/her for obeying the law.

  • In Colorado I have been stopped, not cited or arrested and the law says any person in that circumstance is to recieved a business card without being asked from the police officers involved.

  • I have never received the card from police that I mentioned before in Colorado when I have been stopped or held but not cited or arrested. This began after my Tourettes tics became obvious. The profiling laws that the card is to be given pursuant to do not list disability with those listed and watched out for in terms of profiling. My body does not always abey me let alone cops. Some day I may get shot because I have Tourettes.

  • LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!

  • Get in touch with the history of this country! Our roots are based in revolutionary activity against this kind of oppression. Our founders had experienced this kind of abuse and purposely put protections in the constitution and bill of rights. We have to turn back the laws passed in the last eight years to recover our rights.

  • Welcome to NAZI America

  • Get ready folks, the empire must fall!

  • prelude to martial law..

  • Watch and listen to her show at democracynow.or at WBAI, She is the best journalist ever in the USA!!!

  • GET OUT OF THE NEW CHINA.

  • our system of police in this country is insane...it takes 9 months of training for a citizen to become a cop and have life and death power over other citizens...they are very ineffective at protecting citizens from crime but very effective at intimidating and brutalizing the innocent.

  • we gotta get some cops on ours side

  • Police take an oath to protect the Constitution.They need to honour that oath and not allow a fascist government to use them illegaly to deny their fellow Americans their rights protected by that Constitution.You may be Police Officers but you are Americans first.

  • This has to stop! The police tactics at this years conventions have been disturbing. The attacks on the press have been too frequent. Reminded me of China during the Olympics when press was hauled away on camera and wearing credentials.

  • Reply to freedomcorp: And "we the people" payed for all this to boot - $36 million for "security" and $15 million for the convention itself. By contrast, the Ron Paul Rally going on at the same time at the Target Center in Mpls also cost millions, but was paid for entirely by voluntary donations.

    Yes, this has to stop - so check out Dr. Paul and join the Revolution.

  • LOL Join the revolution. Have seen my profile?

    Ive been the revolution for 2 years!!

    Glad your with us though.

    The Revolution continues!!!!!!

  • This is quite simply an outrage!!! Is this what I defended? Is this why I risked my life? As an American, as a Former Marine, I am ashamed.

  • welcome to Dick Cheney's New Fascist Amerika. It's a whole new ballgame now folks. America needs to be protected from the Thugs in the White House !

  • MasterMark123,Do you even know how much longer Cheney will be Vice President? It is America you damn who ever and where ever you're FROM idiot. You sure as hell aren't American or else you're really stupid. Which is it?

  • you've just let on to me, as being something of a simpleton .. you're comment does not even make sense when trying to insult me ... I am even going to guess you're a redneck who drops to his knees on Sundays and prays to an invisible deity ... and thinks the Earth is 6000 years old ...and thinks McCain's VP pick is SIMPLY WONDERFUL !

  • MasterMark123,Want to try me? I don't have to insult you, you do that on you own when your fingers hit the key board.

  • shows you what is happening in the good ol' US of A

  • notice she didn't take pepe's bait - she did NOT say or agree with pepe that america is a police state or is proto-fascist.

  • It means you are now on a no flying list.

  • This is one fucked up human race.

  • Bush told you as you were hiding under your bed after he & Cheney attacked the US on 911, "You are either with us or against us!"

    Now, if you tell the truth, you are "against" us.

    This is the fascism YOU ordered. Would you like freedom fries with that?

  • Amy Goodman, Democracy Now rocks!

    Unlucky being a reporter in a fascist police state.

  • haha land of the free my arse, note to the pigs: beating up chicks isn't cool

  • randompal,Your "CHICKS" can kill you just as dead as you guys.

  • Hint: Moltov cocktails level the playing field with the pigs

  • OBAMA 08

  • The press & all videos of protests where 'violence' breaks out need 2 have their videos privately investigated. The people starting the violence (if there r any at all, as I have seen police bully & arrest when there is no violence) are NOT peace activists. I bet u will find govt employees imbedded in the crowds causing these situations which then give the 'authorities' the reason they need to roughly abuse & arrest people. Also, those who wear local police uniforms arent always local police.

  • haha! go team usa! ;)

  • We as a collective need to stand up to this sort of thing. There have been a few videos where the security backed down and released the person because the crowd around them were demanding it. They became afraid and released the person they were trying to arrest.

  • During the DNC in Denver I was able to listen to police/fire/medical scanners on 'scanamerica . us', however, The FBI requested that the scanners in St. Paul during the RNC not be available. What is this shit?

  • Imbedded reporters mean the police are now the military. And militaries are for the purpose of war. And who are they at war with? The people! Which means the government is now the enemy of the people and is conducting open warfare against its citizens. And if the citizens don't soon start fighting back they will either be enslaved or terminated.

  • awesomely put! ...sadly, even though there are all these situations flaring up, there are still the majority of Americans that will label this as a conspiracy!? i get them all the time...affirming how 'patriotism' will be their "saviour".....honestly people, WAKE UP!

  • Who the f*ck is this bitch?

  • Why is Amy in denial of the utter fascism? What are you afraid of Amy...JUST SAY IT PLEASE! Let the world know what we're enduring here.

  • She is acting exactly like the Italian senate after Mussolini claimed dictatorship. She hasn't yet realize that shit has changed. It will dawn on her eventually but it is already to late.

  • you failed to say....the police told you and your creeps to move and clear out.

    then you suffer the consequences you douche!

  • her and her "creeps" have a FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT to be there you fucking fascist pig!

  • Qbannewwave posts "I'd promote anarchy"

    so step up and take a beating like all you scum bags deserve! pussy!

  • What the hell are you talking about?

  • "have a FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT "

    do you even know what the first amendment is?

    its not to disobey what a police officer tells you...if he says to pack it up and move on...and you pull the "freedom of speech" crap you can get arrested for not following his order to disperse..GET IT

    thats why when you resist you get your head cracked in!

  • Freedom of speech is only 1/3 of the first amendment. It also includes freedom of the press and freedom of religion.

    It doesn't allow police to arrest people for trying to report on a protest.

  • So I guess that means you'll go quietly when they put you on the railcar.

  • ???the people that were protesting had obtained a LEGAL PERMIT TO BE THERE!!! it was their right to be there & the militant police didn't give a dam...

  • "the people that were protesting had obtained a LEGAL PERMIT TO BE THER"

    Well then, It looks as though your arrested "reporter and cameraman were not" they were told to disperse and started the "first amendment" drivil...they got arrested for "NOT FOLLOWING DIRECTION FROM AN OFFICER OF THE LAW" dimwits...

  • "???the people that were protesting had obtained a LEGAL PERMIT TO BE THERE!!! it was their right to be there & the militant police didn't give a dam... "

    lol theres no diffewrence between the police and other citizens right? they both have the right to detain?

    Well apart from that whole permit thing you admitted to.... that kinda is big difference no? retard....

  • Twopecshaker,Did they have a right to break windows,set cars on fire,destroy public property. Your damn permit didn't give you a license to be punk bastards. Yes, there is a difference between a cop on duty and a "citizen" burning and looting. If one of you punk bastards had tried that with my business, I would have blown your FU--IN brains out. Consider yourselves lucky you got off with being arrested, RETARD.

  • I never got arrested... wtf r u talking about?

  • Twopecshaker,Next time you get a speeding ticket, start telling the cop about your Constitutional Rights and see how fast your ass is in jail. Next time you see a cop giving some else a ticket do the same thing, see how fast your ass goes to jail. Right,Wrong,good cop,bad cop, it makes no difference. You don't mouth off to a cop. "YOUR ASS WILL GO TO JAIL".

  • "Twopecshaker,Next time you get a speeding ticket, start telling the cop about your Constitutional Rights and see how fast your ass is in jail.

"YOUR ASS WILL GO TO JAIL". "

    I'm not argueing that piont... shadowsofnineveh was....

    He was argueing that citizens arrest is the same as police arrest...

  • Twopecshaker,The bitch was stupid. She knew she would get arrested. That is what I'm saying.

  • "Twopecshaker,The bitch was stupid. She knew she would get arrested. That is what I'm saying. "

    Actaully you can look up the video of the arrest on youtube... its all on video... they did not have probibal cause and shes had all the legal permits as press to be asking the questions she did...

    I am sure when this goes to court the judge will rule in her favour ad the law is most definately on her side...

  • Twopecshaker,Actually, she said, they were arresting her for "interfering with a police officer in the performance of his duties. The damn permits do not allow this. What don't you understand about that. "She didn't do what they told her to do." God, how hard can it be to understand this.

  • watch?v=oYjyvkR0bGQ

    She was asking to speak to his supeior officer in a matter regarding two producers that had been wrongfully arrested... she was not interferring with a police officer.... those are trumped up charges... the officer was clearly assaulting her and not even acknowledging her request...

    You understanding of law is abominabel and the reason why in America this totalitarian behavious is accepted..

  • Twopecshaker,You don't have the foggiest idea about American Law you f--king line asshole. Talk about your English law,you just might and I say might know something about that. Otherwise shut the F--K UP until you know what you're talking about.

  • Shut Up, Pig!

  • SkinSinFilms,Kiss my ass you goddamn little shit head bastard whore. No one asked for you mouth. If any one did they would tell you to stick their dick in it. Why the F--k don't you get off your lazy shitty ass and contribute something useful to the country that gave you the right to be the bastard/whore that you are. I think I have made enough of an idiot out of you for now.

  • People that are in Denial about how bad America is getting simply need to be Victimized by the "Authorities" in order for it to sink in their Fat Heads!!!

    I pray to GOD Assholes like O'reilly and Hannity get a Nice beat down by their Fascist

    buddies and then we'll see if they continue their Jobs as Propagandist for the Police state!! Just wait till the 911 cover up comes crashing down! But by then it will Definetly be too late to Rise against the Imperialists!! Very Frustrating and Sad!!

  • Won't happen because they are the mouth piece of the government. At least until Obama takes office then maybe they will be subject to this abuse.

  • Homeland Security is in command, hence Bush.

  • My god! what is going on

  • Wow. I'm almost afraid to leave a comment. Will my comments on youtube be databased was well? This is scary stuff.

  • actually your details already have been given to foxcomm.... they demanded them and youtube just handed them all over, the details of ever single member they have! ... foxcomm = fox news = government press = logged in some government database.

  • Amy is a hero.

    Uniformed police who hide their identity are cowardly bullies with guns.

  • "Amy is a hero.

    Uniformed police who hide their identity are cowardly bullies with guns. "

    No actually there cirminals that should be stripped of there badge... there breaking the law by doing what they are doing....

  • Yep. I stand corrected.

  • are you an idiot? All american citizens are police. We as americans have constitutional authority to make Citizens arrests. Police are just citizens who were hired to do what any of us can do, but they get paid to do it.

  • are you an idoit? there is huge difference between citizens arrest and police arrest... look it up...

  • look it up where? Im looking through the constitution right now and can't find a difference. "We the People" are the well regulated militia. Policemen are just citizens paid to be the militia all the time. But all of the people are the militia. Read the federalist papers hippie idiot.

  • "look it up where? Im looking through the constitution right now and can't find a difference. "We the People" are the well regulated militia. Policemen are just citizens paid to be the militia all the time. But all of the people are the militia. Read the federalist papers hippie idiot. "

    lol you really are simpleton...

    There is a command structure and officers have to be sworn in for a reason...

    Stop living in la la land moron...

  • Read federalist #46 by james madison. You are a typical brainwashed leftist who believes that because the government told you so, the police have more rights than the citizens. Citizen arrests are just as valid as hired citizen arrests. in the 1800's, citizens regularly made citizens arrests and it was considered normal. Your argument is about as lame as saying i can't put out a house fire with a hose because i wasn't hired as a fireman. The government brainwashed you good.

  • Your typical brainwashed blaH BLAH BLAH.....

    You are honestly suggesting that someone with permit from a judge or chief has as much powers as the average citizen to detain?

    You can't just arrest someone and just lock them in a room... thats called kidnapping.. even if you make citizens arrestr you need to take them to... guess what... the POLICE....

    Everyone can arrest not everyone can judge or detain... the officers has ther law behind them.... HUGE DIFFERENCE

  • again, you gave me no source for your propoganda. A citizen has every right to detain a criminal in a criminal act....even to the point of reading them their rights. At that point of arrest, the criminal is subject to his rights and criminal proceedings. That is where after the criminal being detained and held by the citizens, the hired police are called to lawfully transport them to the proper holding facility. A judge issues a warrant for searches and siezures.

  • the only way kidnapping charges or unlawful detainment could be brought is if the said criminal was arrested by the citizen and transported to a state or fenderally unrecognized holding facility. But if said criminal is transported to a local police station, then that would not be considered kidnapping. Many many numerous examples of store owners, home owners detaining and holding criminals because it is their right as a US citizen and Militia member.

  • "Many many numerous examples of store owners, home owners detaining and holding criminals because it is their right as a US citizen and Militia member. "

    that would be because of the rights and laws they recieve from somone being on there own private property... i.e. they can shoot someone for tresspassing in most states...

    However they would not recieve these rights in a public area... in a public area they could not detain... they would have to contact a police officer after the arrest..

  • part three....The militia is "we the people" a guaranteed right under the constitution that all the people are a part of the militia to help protect the state from dangers inside and out. The militia is not the national guard. the national guard is a seperate entity starterd in the early 1900's. Citizens have the same rights to arrest as a citizen police officer, Except the only difference is the police officer knows the laws better to avoid any possible legal challenges to that arrest.

  • "Except the only difference is the police officer knows the laws better to avoid any possible legal challenges to that arrest. "

    A person who makes a citizen's arrest could risk exposing himself to possible lawsuits or criminal charges (such as charges of impersonating police, false imprisonment, kidnapping, or wrongful arrest) if a suspect's civil rights are violated.

    Whilst a police officer is protected by law. They would be protected as long as they had probibal cause for the arrest....

  • Also in North Carolina they don't even have citizens arrest... the laws on citizens arrest vary from state to state... as well as the laws protecting police officers...

    When somone is sworn in as a police officer then recieve "legal protections" that given them the ability to wave certain liabilities when arresting someone.... these legal protections often depend on jurisdiction and are only active withint that jurisdiction...

  • A federal agent/officer is not bound by juridiction within America..

  • there were no criminals, just concerned citizens with a LEGAL PERMIT to protest in peace....fighting for YOUR freedom- that you are clearly too blind to realise you are loosing! you should thank her for spreading the news of this martial law that has been instated!!!

  • This is a true travesty! Please try to educate those around you. We must try to wake the sheeple.

    America is no longer the country of our forefathers! We must try to retain the republic!

  • jimmyturismo,God bless you for trying to retain the republic, but I got news for you. The bitch knew what would happen when she did what she did. It would have happened at the DNC also. She was arrested for interfering with a cop. We all know that is a no-no. Nothing else needs to be said.

  • "It takes a revolution to make a solution" - Bob Marley

  • ...notice V said "with enough people"

    We the people need ONE GOAL RIGHT NOW. WE MUST GET RID OF PEOPLE IN THE CONGRESS AND THE SENATE - ALL OF THEM IF NECESSARY. They have wronged the people in so many ways and THEY are the ROOT of the problem. Their rubber stamp leads to WAR.

    There is NOTHING more important than this. SIGN UP TO HELP IN THIS OPERATION YOU CAN SPARE 2 HOURS IN A 48 HOUR PERIOD when we launch the campaign to awaken the 80-90%.

  • Come on Amy, you know what "data base this is going into." It's going into NCIC and FBI data base. You and your crew official have a record and will be harassed and jailed for the rest of your lives.

    Even if it's all dropped it will still remain.

    This is their goal. Now you are marked.

  • Another proof that America is becoming a fascist country.

  • Becoming?

  • America, you disgust me.

  • If you don't have a free society, what's the point of putting up with all the other crap?

  • piece of shit Republicans! nuke the damn convention! we'll do the world a favor, and a great deed for humanity.

  • After only having heard her side, its difficult to be sure, but this seems like a case of wrongful arrest. It is commendable that she rushed to the rescue of her team.

    However, I did find her recounting of the incident grating. She emphasized details like:

    They got dirt on his T-shirt

    The plastic handcuffs were stiff/hard

    Police raids included rifles and pistols

    Including those only distract from the valid objections of wrongful arrest and possible use of excessive force.

  • Maybe jokertim777 is COINTELPRO

  • Or perhaps jokertim777 is just trying to give some constructive criticism to help this message of protecting our constitutional rights.

    The way you present your message needs to appeal to several segments of the population, not just the "cops are pigs" crowd. If you alienate the rest of the populace, you're just preaching to the choir.

    Don't let them pigeon hole you as just another whining hippie liberal journalist. Concentrate on actionable injuries and wrongful detainment.

  • Someone needs make it more difficult to be a police officer; It seems like any jerk with a GED or high school diploma can get a badge.

  • I get spam everyday recruiting police officers, Obama plans on hiring lot's more.

  • Those responsible most be held to account for the crimes committed against our citizens. Police officers are charged with the duty of protecting our rights.

  • We are in a police state... Our Govenment in Louisiana declared Illegal Curfews without declaring Marshal Law because of the storm.

    Our Corporate Media is a tool of propagada for our Corporate Govenment whom are all Gobalist hell bent to inslave the world.

    Soon we will not be able to go and come without their knowledge and then concent.

  • please follow up on this story

  • This is unacceptable! If there is anything we can do please let us know. Democracy Now is the only REAL NEWS out there besides PBS. Please call your congressmen to insure this is not allowed to happen again. The NRA was able to stop gun confiscations after Katrina because of what happened in New Orleans. We must make sure reporters and others are not swept up with anarchists and rights must be respected.

  • Amy: It was done on purpose because they know who you are and they wanted the public to see this. They knew if they did it too you, it'd be big news how they can get away with it and make the public expect this treatment.

  • What is this? CHINA?

  • Ahh...Fuck. Great. Disgusting. Can we contact anybody to complain?

    Thanks 4 ur help!

  • The Republican Party gave the St. Paul government 10 million dollars to police the protests. Pass it on.

  • Amy your info will go into the database that holds names of terrorist suspects, for homeland security....if you have trouble boarding a plane...that's them!

  • I was there.. freakin crezy... Wake up america.

  • It doesn't matter if you are a democrat, republican or anything else. This type of behavior by the police is completely unacceptable. And fact the secret service was complicit in this makes it even worse.

  • Wow!! Unbelieavable.

  • It's really sad that all kinds of white collar criminals can get away with all kinds of crimes and people like Amy Goodman get smacked up for simply trying to create accurate news.

  • A fascist police state rears its' ugly head with illegal raids, searches, seizures and arrests...and all idiots like sallee5 have to say is THE SAME OLD BULLSHIT.

    Shut up, study your history and stop the New World Order.

  • What data base, Amy? Homeland Security, of course. You know, I.B.M. with their punch-card systems, kept track of Jews for the Nazi-Germany. Now, I.B.M. is keeping track of US Citizens who stand up for their rights - for the Nazi-US.

    Every intelligent, thinking person knows where this is going.

  • Great job though,Amy. It took someone like you to get arrested to get the scrutiny the police actions deserve.

  • Amy Goodman is looking very good on camera

    Of Course, Goodman speaks well

  • wow!the people must be told of this!

  • drop dead fascist scumbag
