'We have to show the images' -- Amy Goodman remembers Standing Rock

.
Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! was charged with criminal trespass for coverage of the pipeline's attack with dogs on Standing Rock Water Protectors on Sept. 3, 2016. While flying in to turn herself in, the charge was changed to "riot." During her court appearance, a Morton County judge dismissed the charge on October 17, 2016.


Dakota Access Pipeline brought in dogs to attack Standing Rock water protectors, while the pipeline bulldozed Lakota burial grounds.
