Protect And Serve?

I was pleased to see Amy Goodman interviewed by David Brancaccio last Friday on the PBS program NOW.



Amazingly, some of the comments on the YouTube.com page showing this video take the side of the police. They imply that Amy Goodman overstepped her bounds. Simply flabbergasting. All she was doing was inquiring about her co-workers and expressing concern for their safety. For this she was actually charged and arrested. Why? How can her behavior in this situation possibly be threatening to all those goons in full riot gear?

Would the goons have treated Rush Limbaugh like this?
