Fortunately there was a radio show with a contact on a cellphone who were able to cover the event as it happened.  Look for the July 3rd episode, with the above eyewitness account taken from a few minutes in during the second hour: Hour 1, Hour 2

Current News Reports:

With Federal National Forestry Agents, organized and funded under the Patriot Act and Homeland Security, firing pepper spray, tear gas, and rubber bullets into a crowd of children and adults while the media reporting the group ‘rioted’ it is important that eyewitness accounts be heard.

Deborah Stevens from the Three Shoes Posse Band interviews members of
the Rainbow Family who were kidnapped at gunpoint, assaulted, tortured,
falsely imprisoned in a chemically toxic environment, never even
charged with a crime, then thrust out without shirts or shoes into a
remote rural area by U.S. Federal Agents of the “National Incident
Management Team” at the 2007 Rainbow Gathering in Arkansas.
