With the pepper spray cleared and the flash-bang grenades gone, the Minnesota Independent newspaper has put together a list of journalists who were detained or arrested around the Republican National Convention. The total: at least 42.

The list includes well-publicized incidents, such as the arrest of Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman, and cases we’ve heard less about, for instance one apparently involving a Think MTV blogger named Charlie B. Check it out, along with a jarring photo of an ABC News crew in gas masks covering a protest, here.
