G20: Police Violently Arrest Bystanders at U of Pittsburgh, Deploy Chemical Weapons (9-25-09)

Friday Sep 25 at Fifth and South Bouquet: Police arrest a bystander and cameraman, fire chemical and "less lethal" weapons. Prior to this the police had failed to give a warning to disperse. In previous "crowd control" measures by police we had been informed we would be safe if we stuck to the sidewalks - not so in this case. For more coverage visit http://www.indypgh.org

Who the fuck got arrested violently in this video? All I saw were textbook police takedowns. No one was getting beaten with billy clubs, no one was getting shot at (with anything other than paintballs that is). It's bullshit the way you label and edit your videos.

I don't necessarily agree with the police action, but come on dude. This was no Tienanmen square.

And referring to teargas as "Chemical weapons" is lulz. You would think that they were using mustard gas, lol.

@WannaExpressYourSelf I can't decide if you're just trolling or if you were born with a lack of perspective, but I'll take the bait.

1. I didn't say pepper spray (teargas actually) wasnt a chemical, I was pointing out that calling it a chemical weapon was utilizing a stupid amount of hyperbole.

2. Sad that you don't know that when you get down to it, everything is a chemical.

3. I HEAR ALL CAPS IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!!!

I'm tired of looking up all of the videos you hipsters post up for us to view. Because every time I take the time out of my day to hopefully find something productive to watch, it always turns out to be a bunch of crap.

[philphactor14]

Dude, you're just on a mission to "get the police." The bias in your titles totally shows it, and I wouldn't take your descriptions of the situation seriously for anything.

That's America for you. Look up the documentary on YouTube called Censored Crimes of War': The Gulf War. Watch the 3 min Part 2 called "The Highway of Death". It shows how we were all told lies in America while the USA starting at midnight, bombed the busiest highway in Iraq and only highway south to the border. Imagine one of our busiest freeways getting every car bombed from midnight to 6Am. Google it and see the photos. 60 whole miles of death.
