didn't amy goodman and democracy now win their law suit against their arrests?
not only are they targeting journalists, since the start of bush's presidency, they now won't let protests any where near the sites. wouldn't it be nice if they'd protect abortion clinics like this?
The RNC agreed, in writing, to cover (or purchase) 10,000,000 dollars worth of damage and violence to the civil liberties and constitutional rights of the other convention attendees. Wow! now that is a hell of a shopping spree. How is this explained by the parties to the agreement?
Does this amount to collusion or conspiracy to violate rights of? At a minimum, it is clearly a confession on the part of the city of St. Paul of its willingness, if not intent, to cross the line and break the law (at the bidding of the RNC) if necessary. And the RNCs willingness to pay for it if necessary (up to ten million dollars)!
The existence of this agreement has already been admitted by representatives from the city of St. Paul. The existence of this agreement signals an a priori knowledge and awareness on the part of St. Paul authorities that the intervention strategies and control tactics employed to stifle and suppress demonstrators and unsanctioned news coverage would in all likelihood be construed as illegal by a court of law.
WHY did the city of St. Paul REQUIRE an agreement with RNC stipulating that the RNC would reimburse the city of St. Paul for any liabilities and damages stemming from lawsuits concerning the treatment of protesters? (or rather mis-treatment of protesters and media, trammeling of civil liberties and constitutional rights)?
So many of these anti amy comments make absolutely no sense. Like as if George Bush writer wrote them.

Listen to her at 4:03 she admits it is a "Secure area". Do you think you have the right to freely assemble when the cops have clearly set up a secure area? You can't freely assemble on a freeway, or an Airport runway, or any number of other places.
If you are told get back to the sidewalk, do it. You have no right to demand your questions get answered, or to speak to anyone.

Yeah MAN! Look how threatening that 50 year old lady was to them. Man, she needed to keep her distance. I would have been quivering if I were a cop in that situation.
The only inner city community groups that are worth while are the ones that take a trong stand against Rights Abuses.
In my opinion, the community groups who work hand in hand with the mayor's office (like the crime watchers ) Are nothing. They have no ambition to actually improve what really matters to solve problems.
The civil rights and antiwar are joining forces in my state. You can find out if they are joining in yours . If not, go on in and find out how you can help them unite. Some fear taking a position on aspects of each others' issues, but that is when you determine your POINTS OF UNITY.and forget that each side has issues which you have no position on. But the ACTIONS and DEMONSTRATIONS will be EFFECTIVE. Public awareness will be RAISED. THE PEOPLE UNITED will be more impossible for them to ignore.

Show where, or how, I'm ignorant or misleading the facts.

If thats the best you all can do, then she is going to jail.

My mother taught me respect for the police.
She would have more then told me to stay off the sidewalk.
As for your mother, if she did what Amy Goodman did, hook her up. Not even mothers get to breat the law or resist a cop.
James92802 3 years ago
You suffer from receptive incoherence?
My point was that if they took your mother, you would GLADLY let them have her without one question.
You should lay off the FAUX feeling of superiority NEWS CHannel nad get some deserved self esteem for a change.
