RNC Protests, Amy Goodman arrest

[larsen550]

Dumb bitch should have listened and respected the police. You come to a protest thinking everything is all good and happy... Well shit happens, you get arrested because you fail to keep your distance from a police officer. Dumb ass

[SkyMonkey42]

I think too many people push the limits of the law and make it harder on themselves. If an officer says "Dont Cross This Line" or else you will be arrested for trespassing! How many of you would Step over the line? Probably 9 out of 10 of you and end up arrested. All because you want to challenge or push and shove with the law. Regardless if your Right or Wrong, If your in anyway wrong in the situation your gonna lose every time against the police. Its just how it is people :\

cnn is just another zionist lobby tv station that influences random thoughts and negative attitudes towards anti zionist and the arab states

[Donryall]

Umm, nobody took her right to free speech you hysterical moonbat. The police enforced thier right to make a judgement call during an explosive situation. Nice try at obfuscating the issue, but epic fail at the end. Next time dont drink the kool-aid marked"hysteria".

[Donryall]

By Goodmans own comments she approached riot police directly during a riot, what the fuck did she think was going to happen? That the police were going to stop doing thier job so they could sort her problems out? NO she got arrested and realesed later which sounds just about right to me. The police do not have the time or inclination to make judgement calls during a riot, that happens at the end,grow the fuck up folks.

[RationalEmotive]

fucking evil fascist, jock motherfucker.

[Donryall]

Ill respond to your typical, left wing name calling nonsense by asking you to refute my argument with fact. If you run at riot police during a riot expect to be busted down. Leave your emotion at home please,unless of course you are a female in which case you dont know any better.

[Hopeful71]

Listen to her full account (documented all over YouTube). You couldn't be more wrong about the circumstances. But good job on being an apologetist for people seeking to repress free speech.

Ironically, Chief John Harrington is the criminal.  His police officers are criminals. Overstepping the law and putting oneself above the law is criminal.

America continues to be brainwashed by these corporate "journalists." They clearly did not investigate the Goodman arrest fully. If they did, the American people would be outraged by this instance of police brutality.

[09858762]

*CNN does not show the actual arrest which was clearly illegitimate. But, it's expected that the mass media would only show the clip after she is cuffed. Also, in the clip before the Goodman clip, Nicole Salazar yells, "Press! Press!" You can't even hear it in the CNN clip. They also do not show the part at which she was forced to the ground, after yelling "Press!," and her blood-curdling screams of pain from the police forcing their boots into her back, pulling her leg, and dragging her

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY.

[Shakiamuny]

how when obama is their relative

[Cstrife234]

yeah facist police-state republican assholes. Of course they arrested the camera-men because they didn't want the real story to get out. The police are trained as soldiers now. They don't give a shit about you or me.

[loyalty213]

COINTELPRO.

[SSHitMan]

Anarchists = spoiled white brats who still live with mommy and daddy.

[MrRightAllTime]

your mama is a whore, you need both hands to hold my fat dick in your mouth to shut you up

[SSHitMan]

Damn that must have hit close to home! What's mommy making you for dinner today?

[toyracers]

if you were a TRUE American, you would have known that libertarian, conservatives, liberals, and unions were protesting the republican administration...

[nothingbetter2du]

What is a "true American" nowadays? There are evils on the far left and right. The quest now is to find the truth. The founding fathers spoke of it. What do you think of the American Free Press? Uniter or Divider?

[dollsnatch]

Once again pretty pathetic coverage by CNN.

[tuberpie68]

Type "Goodman's arrest" in the video search space and you will get literally hundreds of superior vids which include how roughly the cops handled Goodman.

[smitty121981]

It is very sad that a respected journalist like Amy Goodman would be arrested for nothing.

[tuberpie68]

I wish it were for nothing. She identified herself as a journalist, & warned them not to arrest her. They arrested her the moment her she asked to talk to higher officials about her producers having been arrested. This is Fascism.

[myckaka]

Is this in the US? or Africa-Zimbabwe?

And the US accuses China of human rights???

hypocrites!!!

In Africa they deliberately respect women

So the US preaches some bullshit human rights

[cbfolsom122]

WTG on stopping the anarchists.

[StJosephMI]

CNN is the best!

[nellenmellen]

Good job CNN, in providing accurate background information regarding what could be a potential attempt to intimidate and squelch dissent and first amendment rights.(excluding the violent MINORITY, which brings up the issue of provocateurs)

"Hey heres this dramatic video of stuff that happened, one side claims this, the other side claims that, who knows what really happened...lets talk about the personal lives, "character", and "values" of the candidates to the 36th decimal place."

"Journalism"

[smitty121981]

fake journalists talking about real journalists getting arrested

speaking of provocateurs, have you seen this vid:

watch?v=KLTLSq03jmk

they look just like the "anarchists" in this one
