Does this look like America to you? , page 1

Police attack on Thursday Sept 24 2009.
Filmed at the University of Pittsburgh.

Thanks WB.

We can't turn away from it. We have to stare it down and rebuke it. We have to tell our friends, family and neighbors.

Even though it's been posted elsewhere, I'm leaving this here too, because it's important.

The march began with several hundred protesters. It did not have a city permit and police declared it an unlawful assembly.

Why do you need a permit. What happened to the 1st amendments? Someone please explain what happened to the U.S.

I surely don't mean to minimize it or compare the two in scale or tragedy, but the videos posted have affected me in a way similar to 9/11 - my world view will not be the same.

No, people did not die, but our liberties have. Until I saw that video, I never really grasped how the War on Terror has now been turned on us. Intellectually I got it but, in reality, I don't think I really did before but I do now.

Jack-booted riot police were denying citizens their right to free speech and to peacefully assemble. We paid for that equipment. The LRAD was meant for Iraq. It's now patrolling a U.S. city. This is the second time in a month it's been used for crowd control purposes against citizens not breaking any laws, only exercising their Constitutional Rights.

You have to wait for it as it's further into the video (2:39) but it shows Pitt students peppered in their dorm entrance/stairwell while watching events on the street below. They weren't even part of the protest, just observing.



In the clip you can hear the LRAD vehicle instruct "Citizens of Pittsburgh you may be arrested or subject to other police action." For what!!?? Watching? More like witnessing.

I just don't understand. We have first and fourth amendment rights that are inalienable - cannot be usurped by any authority. Just because some idiots are breaking the law, doesn't mean that the rights of other citizens should be stripped.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not anti-police. I'm pro civil rights. I do however think that the police should exist to protect and serve, as peace officers. I detest the term Law Enforcement Officer and I feel that a noble profession has been wholesale purchased by the military industrial complex.

We allowed it to happen but it has to stop.

Now the crap I blog doesn't seem to far fetched This is only a People-gauge. The Elite are testing the resolve of the US American People. I don't know what the exact "constant" that is being measured against, but make no mistake this is not only to desensitize, but to make determinations of progress in totalitarian empirical govt.

They are testing the resolve of not only the Protesters, the People at home, but also of the military, and po-lice.

It is obvious the military, and po-lice are servants of the Empire, and not of the People any longer.

Why not stand up? Everyone's time is coming, but who will be around when it is Your turn, or mine?

Thanks warren, and kosmicjack for posting the vids.........there's another member who is there, and posting continual footage as he gets it.

EDIT: this is the thread from the member at protests.

It started right away.I'm originally from the Pittsburgh area,and I was keeping a close eye on the events and protests.I was at first surprised whenever I saw so few.......but the truth is that the protestors were shot down before they had a chance to begin.

"They" didn't want another London scene,and were ready this time.

This is bothersome to say the least,but not shocking,and we should be better prepared for what is to come.So sad.



mod edit, to fix video link
