Amy Goodman, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar

Hats off to these three Democracy Now! journalists who were unlawfully arrested--violently, at that--at the RNC convention in Minneapolis on Monday afternoon. They were covering the protests outside the convention (unlike their other colleagues in the media). When Amy heard that Sharif and Nicole were arrested, Amy turned the mike on the cops, who then of course manhandled her, cuffed her, and shoved her into their van.

They've since been released from custody, but they face felony charges. Psh. Outrageous!

Report on!
