Amy Goodman has an arrest warrant after filming security guards attacking Native American protesters with dogs and pepper spray.

The footage was widely covered, garnering significant negative press for the Dakota Access Pipeline company. Now, an arrest warrant has been issued for Goodman, charging her with criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor offense.

“This is an unacceptable violation of freedom of the press,” Goodman said in a statement posted to Democracy Now! “I was doing my job by covering pipeline guards unleashing dogs and pepper spray on Native American protesters.”

Goodman’s report shows the violent clash between security guards for the pipeline company as Native American’s protest the bulldozing of documented sacred sites. According to a court document filed by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, the construction site was home to more than two dozen graves, and scores of stone rings, effigies, and other artifacts.

    Trump is definitely not the sole idiot when the press is concerned.

    I wonder if this is because President Obama stopped the pipeline from continuing? If it wasn’t for her reporting, we may have not realized what was going on.

    The video is most disturbing. The wretched people with the dogs were not unlike the Gestapo, or Bull Connor, whipping the dogs into a frenzy, and sending them out to attack protesters. It was obvious, by the way they handled the dogs, that they are sadistic morons.
    Hope this video is seem by many.

    Amy Goodman is a great journalist and should wear the chickenshit arrest warrant as a badge of honor.
