Innocent students tear-gassed by police in G20 Pittsburgh protests

Tue, 06/10/2009 - 03:17 — student_68

During the G20 conference held in Pittsburgh this September, students gathered on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Riot police were called to disperse the non-threatening crowd of students.

Below is a video in which riot police trap students who were simply innocent bystanders AND teargas and pepperspray them without cause. Police brutality runs rampant at the whisper of a protest. We need to put an end to this.    No justice, no peace!

Students must unite to prevent the increasing commercialization of education which is so obvious in the US! Does the police heavy-handedness show that those in power are scared of what students can do? I sure think so! Strength in numbers...if all students unite then the world is oyster. Solidarity to all!

Police are not 'HUMAN' being

I think police are not human being, they live in other world. I heard about this many times. The recent one was like this -
"Some James Madison University students say they received a text message from police warning them to leave the block party before tear gas was used.
However, some say they tried to leave but could not get through the police barricades.
Many students acknowledge that the block party got out of hand, but some, like Allison Burkett, also say police reacted too strongly and in the process, hurt some of the innocent."
