Description
9/1 Protests at the RNC. The atmosphere in St. Paul is best
described as a war zone. This video attempts to show some of why people
are protesting. Reporters from the AP, NY Post, Indy Media Center,
Pepper Spray Productions and 3 producers from Democracy Now have been
arrested, including Amy Goodman.
This afternoon the bus was
repeatedly harassed by St. Paul police. We were notified by our lawyers
who were on the scene while we were attempting to cover the Poor
People's March. Eyewitnesses reported that they attempted to open the
door both by hand and CROW BAR. They attempted to film inside the bus
and claimed they were concerned about "liquids". Our bus is legally
parked in a paid lot with permission from the Parking lot. 2 private
buses have been confiscated in St. Paul 1 bus carrying a marching band
of activists have chosen to leave town. The police came by 3 times each
time with more squad cars and equipment. At this time the bus,
inhabitants and property are safe... and insecure. Much more about this
later.
