Amy Goodman, host and executive producer of Democracy Now!, describes how her media crew was violently targeted and trapped by police, how secret services ripped away her top-security-clearance credentials without warrant and how the police "preemptively" raided the I-Witness Video Collective.

Sept. 4th 2008, dozens of media reporters, including mass media such as CNN and CBC, were arrested along with 818 other citizens for peacefully protesting at a distance out of the Republicain convention. TheREALnews team was also arrested and fined amongst the media who refused to be embedded with the police. This is there brief video documentary report.
