Well, based on the comments I’m getting here and over on the YouTube channel, it is clear that a lot of people don’t really understand why freedom of the press is important and why cops should think before they arrest everyone in sight.
Free Speech TV: Amy Goodman on checks and balances
Back by popular demand, Amy Goodman explains (shortly after being let out of jail) why we need the checks and balances of a free press in our society. Those of you that were dozing during high school civics class or are too far removed to remember this, please pay attention.
Note: the producers mentioned in this video have since been released from jail thanks to Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN).
Pps: You could still call the numbers listed to let them know that this behavior is unacceptable

You’re on the right (sorry) track. Thank you for the eye opening info. It’s really hard to believe that very little of this got any mention at all in mainstream news broadcasting. Appalling! Spinning is one thing – it’s up to each of us to find the truth within but suppression is unacceptable. If I remember correctly, it’s been a long, long time since I was in a civics class, but isn’t FREEDOM OF SPEECH one of the biggies????????????????????????????/
