THERE IS AN ARREST WARRANT OUT FOR THE REST OF JOURNALIST AMY
GOODMAN BECAUSE SHE HAD THE
AUDACITY TO BE A JOURNALIST.
SHE WAS REPORTING ON THE DAKOTA
ACCESS PIPELINE, AND THE NATIVE AMERICANS THAT HAVE BEEN
PROTESTING IT.
AS SHE WAS REPORTING ON DOGS BEING GEARED
TOWARD SOME OF THE PROTESTERS SHE GOT ARRESTED FOR
TRESPASSING.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU GUYS A VIDEO THAT GOT HER IN
TROUBLE.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WATCH THE FULL VIDEO, IT HAS
MORE THAN 13 MILLION VIEWS AT
THIS POINT.
THIS IS A PORTION THAT STOOD OUT TO ME THE MOST.
IT WAS THE VIOLENCE THAT PRIVATE SECURITY FIRMS HAVE USED
AGAINST PROTESTERS.
>> THE DOG DID IT.
LOOK AT THIS.
>>MA'AM, YOUR DOG JUST BIT THE PROTESTER.
ARE YOU TELLING THE
DOGS TO BITE THE PROTESTER?
THE DOG HAS BLOOD IN ITS NOSE AND
MOUTH.
>> THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST THREATENING ALL OF US WITH THESE
DOGS.
THAT WOMAN OVER THERE, SHE WAS CHARGING THEM IN A BIT
SOMEBODY RIGHT IN THE FACE.
HE
TRIED TO BITE ME.
THEY ARE STILL THREATENING THESE DOGS AT THEM.
>> LET ME JUST EMPHASIZE THAT THERE IS AN ARREST WARRANT OUT
FOR AMY GOODMAN.
SHE IS NOT IN CUSTODY RIGHT NOW.
WE WILL SEE
HOW THIS PLAYS OUT, BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT SHE TRESPASSED AND
THAT IS THE REASON WHY THERE IS A WARRANT OUT FOR HER ARREST.
THEY ALSO ARRESTED ONE OF THE
FOUNDERS OF THIS PROTEST.
HE WAS RECENTLY RELEASED AFTER BEING DETAINED FOR THREE DAYS.
>> IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
THERE IS A RIGHT WAY TO DO
THINGS, AND A WRONG WAY.
BACK IN THE OLD DAYS COMPANIES WITH A
HIGHER PINKERTONS OR OTHERS TO
BREAK UP UNIONS, WORKERS AND TO ASSAULT ANYONE THAT STOOD IN THE
WAY OF THEIR PROFITS.
HERE THEY ARE BACK AGAIN WITH DOGS.
THAT
IS INSANE.
IF SOMEONE IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, IT'S NOT LIKE
THE COPS IN AMERICA ARE TWO
GENTEEL.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU CAN GET THE COPS TO REMOVE PEOPLE
FROM PRIVATE PROPERTY.
THE PROTESTERS UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT
YOU CAN'T HAVE GUYS COME IN THERE WITH DOGS AND SICK THEM ON
PEOPLE AND HAVE THEM FIGHT THEIR FACE.
AND THEN ARREST ANYONE WHO
COVERS IT.
HERE WE ARE BACK IN THE BATTLE DAYS.
>>LET'S JUST KEEP IT REAL.
THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY GOING AFTER AMY
GOODMAN AND DEMOCRACY NOW BECAUSE OF THEIR REPORTING AND
EXPOSURE THE VIDEO GOT.
THEY ARE ACCUSING HER OF ENTERING PRIVATE
PROPERTY TO CONDUCT INTERVIEWS.
IF SOMEONE TRESPASSES ONTO
PRIVATE PROPERTY, THEY ARE
BREAKING THE LAW.
SHE WAS WILLING TO BREAK THAT LAW TO
COVER THE STORY.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT IS ADMIRABLE.
IF I
BELIEVED IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT I WOULD SAY IS MORE IMPORTANT TO
HAVE A JOURNALIST COVER AN IMPORTANT STORY INVOLVING
PROTESTERS THAN TO GO AFTER HER AS IF SHE IS A CRIMINAL AND
DESERVES TO BE BEHIND BARS.
AND KEEP IN MIND THESE PROTESTERS ARE CALM, PEACEFUL,
VERY MUCH CONCERNED WITH BURIAL GROUNDS GETTING DESTROYED AS A
RESULT OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PIPELINE.
THERE WERE ABOUT
THEIR LAND AND THEIR HERITAGE BEING UNDER ATTACK.
THEY ARE
ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR DRINKING WATER BEING
CONTAMINATED AS A RESULT.
THEIR CONCERNS ARE COMPLETELY
LEGITIMATE.
WHO LOVE THIS COUNTRY?
IT'S THE CORPORATIONS, THEY GET TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT
REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY HARM.
>>IT REMINDS ME OF THE MEAT INDUSTRY WHERE IF YOU ACTUALLY
TAPE ANYONE INSIDE ALL OF THOSE
PLANTS WHERE THEY ARE TERMINATING CHICKENS AND COWS,
THAT IS NOW ñ
YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW BY REPORTING WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
>> THOSE ARE KNOWN AS GAP LAWS.
>> WE ARE NOW CRIMINALIZING THE MEDIA.
BUT IT'S NOT REALLY A
DEMOCRACY ANYMORE.
IF YOU BOUGHT ALL THE POLITICIANS AND BRIBE
THEM THROUGH YOUR CAMPAIGN
DONATIONS, AND THE SUPREME COURT SAYS YOU ARE JUST TALKING TO
THEM AND THAT IS FREE SPEECH ñ GET A LOAD OF WHAT THE SUPREME
COURT DID.
THEY SAY CORPORATIONS
ARE HUMAN BEINGS, INSANITY.
THEN THEY HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO
SPEND MONEY BRIBING POLITICIANS, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE FREEDOM OF
THE PRESS TO REPORT ON WHAT THOSE CORPORATIONS ARE DOING.
WHEN AMY GOODMAN GOES TO REPORT ON WHAT CORPORATIONS ARE DOING,
WE'RE GOING TO FIND ANY
VIOLATION WE CAN.
>>BY THE WAY, I WANT TO BE ACCURATE, THERE WAS SOME
PROPERTY, CONSTRUCTION PROPERTY, THAT WAS DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF
THIS PROTEST.
AMY GOODMAN IS NOT THE ONE WHO DAMAGE THIS
PROPERTY.
THE ONLY CRIME SHE COMMITTED WAS REPORTING ON A
STORY THAT IS WORTH REPORTING, A STORY THAT HAS BEEN IGNORED BY
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
THESE ARE THE SAME OIL COMPANIES THAT ARE
ADVERTISERS IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA AS WELL.
IT DOESN'T
SURPRISE ME THAT THIS IS GETTING NO ATTENTION.
AMY GOODMAN IS A
BAD ASS AND I GIVE HER TREMENDOUS APPLAUSE FOR DOING
THIS.
>>WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF REASON, YOU FOLLOW UP ON WHO THAT WAS,
YOU DON'T PUNISH THE PEOPLE REPORTING ON THAT STORY.
YOU
ALLOW PEOPLE TO PROTEST BECAUSE THAT IS THE RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN
THOUGHT IS A VIOLATION OF THE
LAW, AND AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO REMOVE PEOPLE I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU DON'T DO IT WITH DOGS.
YOU ARE A GOVERNMENT OF THE
CORPORATIONS AND FOR THE
CORPORATIONS.
AMY GOODMAN IS LOOKING INTO HER RIGHTS.
SHE IS
THE CENTER FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ADVISING HER NOW.
WE WISH
YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.
WE ALSO
HAVE SOME GREAT COVERAGE FROM JORDAN SHERATON AT TYT POLITICS.
WE HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS PROTEST FROM THE BEGINNING.
I
THINK THE YOUNG TURKS AND DEMOCRACY NOW ARE THE ONLY
ONES THAT SHOWED UP WITH CAMERAS.
GREAT JOB BY AMY GOODMAN, WE HAVE HER BACK.
