Police used teargas pepper spray and rubber bullets against University of Pittsburgh students during the Pittsburgh G20 Summit. Many of the students were not part of any demonstration but bystanders, curious to find a mass of armed riot police on their campus. For more information and videos visit http://indypgh.org/g20

I do appreciate the arguing maturely now though. Agree or disagree, people take you more serious when you approach the argument with respect and courtesy. Nothing disgusts me more than human beings who are supposedly intelligent resorting to poop throwing. It was a good debate. I gotta run though.

[iclisious]

i was just about to say the same to you.And thank you for not useing the vulgar language that others tend to use

[IronYouth666]

Well, first of all, you didn't see all that was going on there. There could have been stuff like what that person point out above. Dumpsters being put on fire etc etc which is VERY possible. Pittsburgh students did much the same during the Steeler super bowl. They overturned cars etc. Also, if you are against the acquiring of a permit to hold a peaceful demonstration of people, then you are basically accepting that its okay to obstruct traffic, stomp all over private property rights, etc.

[iclisious]

well first of all a permit is legally a term for leave to engage in an activity that would otherwise be illegal hence they are saying protest is illegal.That is enough to remove them and second if there is someone who damages property then arrest that person not everyone

Public safety officials said Friday night that 83 people were arrested at protests and other events and about $50,000 in property damage was done during the two-day summit, which ended Friday. They said a man who smashed store and business windows in the city's Oakland section on Thursday night was responsible for about $20,000 in damage.

was that the ppl in the video no then why were they targeted.Because they don't want any decent they want sheep to do as told fallow the law even if the law says to walk off a cliff and kill yourself that is about what they are saying to us these days

[nappybigz]

You dummies can't be serious. this was not about a party or trying to see what's going on, This is about the right to voice your opinion. A right not only backed by YOUR constitution, but a god given right. The Police acted irresponsible (as usual) and the people suffered. The crazy part is the fact that unless we all talk about it together, this will get little to no media coverage, even though Barack is right down the street. How crazy is that. Get@Me

This is not just a Pittsburgh problem Marshall Law threatens everyone.

President Obama and Mayor Ravenstahl both oversaw the planning of this disaster. They stood by and watched the frightening consequence of their work deliberately terrify and deny innocent citizens their right to peaceful protest, with or without a permit.. Neither lifted a finger to stop it. Responsibility for this debacle rests fully on their shoulders

that crowd looked peaceful the police looked abusive.

[Deathproof1999]

im sorry but im with the police on this one that bitch at the end arguing with the police her bf was the smart one next time you protest and the police say go then go dont argue because youll regret it.

[HoosYourDaddy1]

Right to free speech and the right to peaceably assemble. Could'nt find the the "Right to protest".

All Constitutional rights are granted as long as they don't infringe on anothers rights. Protestors locking down roadways causing city wide gridlock and unsafe public conditions seems like infringment on others civil rights.

[lukeduke711]

no wonder me and half of america still say FCK THE POLICE

[roopsingh1394]

remember the first amendment.

[Hitlersfetus]

The first ammendmant is freedom of speech and right to protest, as long as everything was peacfule WHICH IT WAS then there is no reason to start gassing or pushing people out of there.

[fairlyoddparent100]

Wow. I thought college kids were supposed to be smart. The funniest thing is that they stuck around even after getting gassed.

[ironmancwb]

I dont see Brad anywhere - lets go pigs is what they said and they deserved what they got

[Joohoo]

"Let's go Pitt" I think they chanted.

[Callcoa]

LOL.  Those lards got what was coming to them. If they didn't want it, they could have just stepped out of the way...
