Amy Goodman Arrested: Republican Police State at Work in St. Paul

h/t to tristero at Hullabaloo, who has this to say:

Your police state at work. Be sure to listen to the mp3 of the arrest. It's chilling.

UPDATE: Video [see above] of Amy Goodman's arrest. h/t Avedon at Eschaton.

UPDATE II: Call to demand Goodman's release:
Democracy Now! is calling on all journalists and concerned citizens to call the office of Mayor Chris Coleman and the Ramsey County Jail and demand the immediate release of Goodman, Kouddous and Salazar. These calls can be directed to: Chris Rider from Mayor Coleman’s office at 651-266-8535 and the Ramsey County Jail at 651-266-9350 (press extension 0).

Do we need any further proof that the country doesn't need another four years of Republican rule?

UPDATE: Digby has a great link list for following the police action in St. Paul, in her post Tas R Nation.
