| USA Reality - 2008 RNC, Arrests. |
 |
Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state of
things as they actually exist".
2008 Republican National Convention
Amy Goodman & Two Democracy Now! Producers
Arrested at RNC Protest
"I kept asking every officer to identify
themselves—a St. Paul cop behind them kept
screaming, "Shut up! You, shut up!" And I
asked—I said, "I want to know what your name is
or your badge." "Shut up! Shut up!" he said..."
More than 280 people were arrested here in St.
Paul Monday, the opening day of the Republican
National Convention. Among them were several
journalists covering the protests in the streets,
including three of us at Democracy Now! Amy was
detained trying to question police officers about
the arrests of Democracy Now! producers Sharif
Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar.
Most of the arrests took place within hours of a
10,000-strong peace march organized by the
Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War.
After the rally ended, several splinter groups
broke off for spontaneous actions in the streets
of St. Paul.
While most protesters demonstrated peacefully,
some engaged in property damage, slashing car
tires, throwing bottles, tipping trash bins and
breaking windows of cars and buildings. One of the
broken windows came in the building that houses
Saint Paul Neighborhood Network—that's SPNN
—where Democracy Now! is broadcasting from this
week.
But police used harsh tactics, including chemical
irritants, to disperse everyone, even those
protesters who remained peaceful. Officers in riot
gear fired teargas, pepper spray, rubber bullets
in a series of standoffs around the downtown St.
Paul area.
Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar were
covering one of those standoffs before their
arrest. They were released last night but now face
pending charges on suspicion of committing a
felony riot. It's called "PC riot," probable cause
riot. I've been charged with obstruction of legal
process and interference with a, quote, "peace"
officer. Overall, police say some 120 people face
pending charges.
Sharif and Nicole join me now here in St. Paul.
Welcome to Democracy Now! I don't think we
expected to be in jail last night, but Nicole,
let's start with you. That was very dramatic
footage. Explain what happened. This was actually
just outside SPNN, Saint Paul Neighborhood
Network, public access TV offices here on Jackson
and 7th in downtown St. Paul.
NICOLE SALAZAR: Well, basically, Sharif and I had
been out that morning filming the antiwar protest,
which was mostly peaceful. We were out for three
hours, four hours filming that. Eventually, we
left the main protest. We went back to the office.
We were going to digitize our tapes.
And then, from the offices, which, like you said,
are here in SPNN, we saw that there was some
activity down on the street, so we grabbed our
camera. Basically, what we saw then was just
police in riot gear moving down the street. We
didn't see any crowds. So I grabbed my camera, and
I ran out the door and just basically followed the
police.
I saw that they were preparing to put on teargas
masks, and I was just filming them. Shortly after,
Sharif came down, and, you know, he brought my
press pass down and put that around my neck. So we
followed the crowd for a few blocks, and very
quickly we saw that there were police coming from
all directions. There were police on horseback.
There were police on bicycles. And there were
police officers in riot gear.
So, that moment that you saw, that was after we
had moved into an intersection where police were
coming from three different directions. They were
telling us to move back, and that's what we were
trying to do. That's what I was trying to do in
the video. I was trying to move back, but I was in
a parking lot, and I wasn't able to get back.
Cars were behind me. We were in a parking lot.
And, you know, I was telling them that "I'm press.
I'm press. Please, you know, don't—you know, let
me pass." But I couldn't turn around. And I tried
to move in between the—between two cars, and
instead of, you know, letting me pass and
following the crowd, they instead came right after
me and slammed me into the car, at which point I
think my camera came back and hit me in the face.
And two cops were also behind me, and they pushed
me through that row of cars into the next area of
the parking lot and slammed me to the ground and
said, "Get your face on the ground! Get your face
on the ground!" And I was, you know, at that
point—
I was on my stomach on the ground. And one of the
officers, I think he was trying to grab me. He was
trying to drag me. He was grabbing my leg. And
another officer put his boot on my back and was
pressing me to the ground.
