Harrington responded, "I can't answer that question because I haven't seen your video." He told Goodman she could file a complaint with police if she felt officers acted inappropriately.

After the press conference, Goodman said: "This is unacceptable. What is the policy they have for the press when they're clearly marked, clearly identified? ... We were there to document what was taking place, not to be arrested."
