Ellen Goodman Among GOP Convention Arrests
Item: Rowdy or Righteous? Police, press and protestors clash/Jill Kuraitis, New West Boise.
More Info: Also in Denver, more than 100 protestors were arrested by police in riot gear trying to disperse a crowd of 300. But the violent protests in St. Paul are in contrast with a relatively peaceful Democratic convention in Denver. The Republican convention has seen almost 300 arrests so far, notably Associated Press photographer Matt Rourke and Democracy Now! Journalist Amy Goodman and two members of her production crew.
Question: How much sympathy do you have for protestors at the national political conventions?
