Cops Close in on G-20

Cops close in on G-20

Authorities have stepped in to block hundreds of G-20 Resistance Project protesters who started their march in Lawrenceville's Arsenal Park Thursday afternoon.

Fog cloaked the Pittsburgh skyline as the G-20 global summit was welcomed to town by calm, relatively empty downtown streets Thursday morning, but things turned around as the protesters gathered and began marching at about 3 p.m.

G20 live stream

Please check out this live stream everyone! Thousands of goons in uniform, sonic weapons, teargas, protesters. The authorities are putting on a show in Pittsburgh.

Cool, got that live stream on now

Nice one, I hope that they can go peacefuly. But it doesn't sound like it!

Alex Jones is talking to Cindy Sheehan right now she is at the protests. She is there AJ has reporters at the protest and they have video of the sound cannons being used.

They now have microwave weapons and LRADS deployed... WTF?!

They have the citizens boxed in and they are about to torture them with the sound weapon!

Wow, they pushed them a long ways from downtown from the looks of things. I'm not super familliar with Pittsburgh, but I do know enough about the city to know that video isn't close to "dahntahn."

It's 30 blocks from downtown. These guys are film makers, not protesters. I'm glued to the stream, it is a real eye opener! Even the police dogs are wearing gas masks.

Live stream is pretty awesome, ty. Seeing the acoustic weapons on the streets is unreal.

This is cool. Thanks for posting. Watching it now! Fight for your Rights!!!

still think there will be no take over??

this is just the beginning..

Its like watching paint dry. More cops than protesters. Time to start serving alcohol to the protesters to get things moving.

That battery's gone flat on the guys camera!! Doh!!

Never mind, apparently Fox news has better from the main protest. But I can't find a stream ofr that.

sroll down to the 500 + listeners..

It all looked pretty tame. I was at london G20, which i have to say started off very similar until the police decided to kettle the crowd.

Did I hear talk of a man with a bomb strapped to him on the Scanner Feed just now?

I thought i did too.

I know I heard several calls of Police Surrounded by Protesters, calling for backup.

Also, Cars flipped over barriers seems to be a common one...Man I wish there was video right now.
