Amy Goodman Jumps Fence To Question Cops

More from http://www.theuptake.org. Sat. Aug 30, 2008. Saint Paul, MN Police Department raids a home at 591 Iglehart Avenue at gunpoint. The journalists include a contributing photojournalist with "Democracy Now", whose host Amy Goodman appears in this clip jumping a fence to question police officers.

This is part of a series of police actions on the eve of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

After several hours, all those detained were released. No arrests. No property was seized as result of the search warrant. The clip ends with an interview with homeowner Mike Whalen. At the start of the clip, a neighbor shouts to the media and onlookers that we could all come into her backyard to see the detained people held in the adjacent backyard.

Clearly you do not understand the true role of the media nor do you comprehend your own freedoms peril.

I fall in love too easily, but I know she's taken. I fear she'll take me apart.

I can’t believe Amy Goodman jumped a fence to ask a cop a question. This is why I love her. I can’t wait to see her in the political documentary “Programming the Nation.” Her interviews are always enlightening.
