This Is What I Mean - WTF


Things to note:
  • 0:17 Baton strike to the groin.
  • 0:28 The Hug - did he think the armed and armored police wouldn't pounce?
  • 1:08 Stupid use of a dumpster - tell me how that's not going to piss off the guys with the night sticks.
  • 1:53 The police in military fatigues.
  • 2:39 The police corner some Pitt students in a stairwell AND THEN TEAR GAS THEM.
  • 5:29 The stupids attacking a Quiznos.
  • 6:43 The P-G's Dennis Roddy gets gassed.
  • 7:02 Number on the canister: 6240a OC.
  • 8:42 The young woman (can't be more than 100 pounds) being smacked down by the police in full riot gear - tell me what sort of threat did she pose?

I saw Dennis walking alongside the People's March today -- he was keeping pace and looking hearty.

That was a scary moment in that video though, those guys deserve hazard pay. At least they gave Sheldon Ingram a bullet-proof vest.

Some disturbing images there.

Especially the young girl getting hit and the students being trapped and gassed.

More videos posted at PittBriefly.com. I ultimately wonder whether this will be FLukey's Waterloo.
