An arrest that was made occurred on a side street near Baum Ave & S Millvale Ave.

The "Group of 20" is meeting today and tomorrow in Pittsburgh. People have been demonstrating to counter the G20, a group of the richest, most powerful people from the richest, most powerful countries who make decisions which impact all of us. The past few times they have met they decided to bail out big banks, including the biggest, baddest bank of them all, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which does nothing to help people. In addition, G20-style globalization policies have harmed the environment and threatened democracy everywhere.

Demonstrators went on the march through Pittsburgh without a permit, and police tactics effectively split up the group after about 45 minutes of marching. In the end only about 26 arrests were made.

Demonstrators are expected to march again tomorrow for a permitted and family-friendly rally and march, endorsed by many large organizations, which will start at Craft and Fifth Avenue in Pittsburgh at 11:30 AM. Bring kids and pets! More info: www.thomasmertoncenter.org.

  • LOL Why are those so called Cops/Public servants dressed in balaclavas, and wearing those silly black Para military SS style costumes with full Body armour etc? They just look like idiots to be fair. Star ship troopers maybe! How pathetic! Are they wannabe SAS or something? Surely thats illegal?

    I really do think that these publicly funded Police should be out there fighting real crime and not harassing/attacking fellow members of society engaging in minor democratic protests. How sad eh.

  • Fucking hippies.

  • police every where Justice idont know WHERE IS IT

  • Because he had disregard for the law. Thats why.

  • @Shrawty clearly your retarded

  • @Shrawty clearly your retsrded

  • there's more to this video then what's being shown.

  • What's to undestand, how does it apply to this and my youtube ID, and why would you think your possessed by the devil?

  • They most certainly do have to explain their reason for making an arrest, and they have read him his Miranda rights.

  • Everything you've said is nearly empty and and thoroughly idle. I did not "fail to make my point;" you failed to understand it. (Like I said.)

    Nevertheless, thanks for the diagnosis of "my problem." And here I thought I was possessed by the Devil.
