US
police state in full action
An arrest
warrant has been issued in North Dakota for Democracy Now! host and
executive producer Amy Goodman. Goodman was charged with criminal
trespassing, a misdemeanor offense. A team from Democracy Now! was in
North Dakota last week to cover the Native American-led protests
against the Dakota Access pipeline.
On Sept. 3,
Democracy Now! filmed security guards working for the Dakota Access
pipeline company using dogs and pepper spray to attack protesters.
Democracy Now!’s report went viral online and was rebroadcast on
many outlets, including CBS, NBC, NPR, CNN, MSNBC and Huffington
Post.
"This
is an unacceptable violation of freedom of the press," said Amy
Goodman in a statement. "I was doing my job by covering pipeline
guards unleashing dogs and pepper spray on Native American
protesters.”
