The railroading of Democracy Now: An interview with detained journalists Amy Goodman and Nicole Salazar [VIDEO]

ST. PAUL--After Monday's big RNC protest march, I had kind words for the comportment of the police. "Despite their scary-ass outfits," I said, "they ultimately proved to be a pretty restrained bunch."

That description still applies to the police I saw in action that day. It's clear, though, that there's been some deeply troubling behavior by law enforcement during the RNC--including the arrests of Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, Nicole Salazar, and Sharif Abdel Kouddous. [Video footage of the arrest here.] Last night at the RNC, I spoke with Goodman and Salazar about what happened on Monday and what their current legal situation is. Here's the video:
