2008sep05. Amy Goodman’s account of her arrest at the RNC. When asked how the press was supposed to function, the police chief of St. Paul said “by embedding reporters in our mobile field force.” That sort of talk sounds familiar. Oh yeah, war zones circa the Gulf I. You will come with us and we will show you what we want you to see otherwise you will be beaten by us and we will show you the bottom of our boots. The police are learning how to ramp up the fascism – who tells them, or does it just grow organically like children’s schoolyard rhymes? Well, as long as I gots my SUV-flavored latte, everything is smooth.
