Toad: Is SR Looking for Video of Protester Arrests?

re: arrest of protesters in Riverfront Park by Spokane police on Fourth of July

Toadman: You know, with all the people down there, there's bound to be a home video of this incident out there somewhere...is the SR going to do anything to see if there's a citizen out there with a video?

Editor Steve Smith: FYI, we were offered a video taken by a protester. It shows St. John's arrest but not the alleged assault that came before. The audio is not usable and the video isn't that good. We decided not to post it online. We've been looking for additional video or photo documentation, but nothing else has surfaced.
