Radio host Amy Goodman and two producers of the program “Democracy Now!” were arrested Monday night while covering protests at the Republican Convention.

Goodman tells the Washington Post: “They seriously manhandled me and handcuffed my hands behind my back. The top ID [at the convention] is to get on the floor and the Secret Service ripped that off me. I had my Democracy Now! ID too. I was clearly a reporter.”

Here is the video:

Liberal pundit Donna Brazile was also hit by pepper spray during the protests.
