BREAKING: North Dakota judge REJECTS "riot" charges against Democracy Now! reporter Amy Goodman
Rick Martini-
QUOTES TAKEN VERBATIM on the fly FROM AMY GOODMAN'S PRESS CONFERENCE:
"All of the media should be here... we encourage all of the media to come here, it's not only to protect the land and water rights,but it's covering your right to speak, to be heard, we are not the only ones to be charged, I faced misdemanors, but a number are going to court as we speak here,other journalists are being arrested,... the state's attorney was attempting to stop journalism - the state's attorney must respect Freedom of the Press..."
"On sept 3rd, we (Democracy Now) covered the native americans going from the camp to plant their flags at their sacred burial ground; (they discovered) the pipeline was actively excavating at that moment - they urged the bulldozers to stop,the security guards came out with pepper spray and dogs, democracy now filmed the dogs with bloody mouths, filmed the native american forces as well - 14 million people saw these images around the world, all of the networks played excerpts played that video.... from cbs (BBC, ABC, NBC,) to NPR."
"We call that "trickle up journalism." The state cannot stop this journalism, must not stop this journalism. Preventing the first amendment rights is not good for North Dakota, it's not good for this country. " Freedom of the press is sacred; when you're able to make informed decisions... we have to open the media up to everyone's voice... when you hear someone speak for themselves, it challenges the caractures and stereotypes..."
"You don't have to agree, but you begin to understand where people are coming from... I think the media can be the biggest force of peace on earth...that's why we have to take the media back."
"The chair of the Standing Rock tribe, (was) charged with civil disobedience, brought to this jail and strip searched; more than 140 have been arrested. We will be there reporting... it's so important that your voices are broadcast that you capture what's happening on the ground... we demand that the corporate media come here and broadcast what is on the front lines... thank you for being here and talking to us."

"AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. We’re broadcasting live from outside the courthouse and jail in Mandan, North Dakota. Water and land protectors, as they call themselves, report facing increasing repression amidst the ongoing resistance to the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Police have begun deploying military-grade equipment, including armored personnel carriers, surveillance helicopters, planes and drones. North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple activated the National Guard in late September. Roughly 140 people have been arrested. Some report being strip-searched in custody at the Morton County jail, even when they’re facing minor misdemeanor charges. This is Dr. Sara Jumping Eagle, a pediatrician on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. "
