Goodman was arrested while questioning police about the unlawful
detention of Kouddous and Salazar, who were arrested while they carried out their journalistic duties in covering street demonstrations at the Republican National Convention.
During the demonstration in which the Democracy Now! team was arrested, law enforcement officers used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion
grenades and excessive force against protesters and journalists. Several dozen demonstrators were also arrested during this action, as was a
photographer for the Associated Press.
