    In the wake of a brutal G20 summit in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato announces he is running for governor of Pennsylvania.  But his rally is marred by a diversity of protesters, including What Happened at Pitt (WHAP), a group of students and community members affected by the violence particularly in the police occupation of Oakland.  Despite the fact there is a sea of posters and banners in support of Onorato, within secondss of unfurling two banners reading "What happened at Pitt?" and "Drop the charges," security and other thugs harass the silent protesters, arresting a total of six people and disrupting the otherwise peaceful demand for accountability and first amendment rights.  October 6, 2009.  www.indypgh.org

    After two nights of police brutality on the Pitt University campus, Pitt students engage in a spontaneous protest march down Forbes Avenue. Two nights prior, swarms of riot police had shot and teargassed students who were peacefully assembled on their own campus to observe a nearby anti-G20 political demonstration. The following night, students held a rally against the brutality, but the police only increased their level of violence, attacking and arresting over a hundred people. This march, which happened on Saturday September 26th, shows the intolerance of police repression that is growing among the student population.

    University of Pittsburgh Student Ethan Cohen Snatched and Arrested During Interview

    Members of Rochester Indymedia were interviewing Ethan Cohen (spelling might be off)--a student at the University of Pittsburgh--on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh during the G20 when police demanded that the three of us go inside and get off the streets. Mr. Cohen had earlier been shoved by police back into the foyer of his apparent building when he questioned an officer as to why he couldn't smoke a cigarette on the street in front of his residence. He was agitated by this treatment and allowed the two IMC reporters to enter the residence. At some point around midnight on September 24, Mr. Cohen shouted at police from within the front door as he finished his cigarette and ran up the stairs to his room. Shortly after Mr. Cohen made himself heard, three riot cops--two with dogs--burst into the apartment complex and chased him down. One Rochester Indymedia person who was at the door was gripped by an officer and flung out of the foyer and onto the sidewalk. The other reporter stepped back in the narrow hallway with his hands visible. The first three officers were followed by five more riot cops for backup. Mr. Cohen was caught by officers in his own home after expressing his disgust at the police brutality from earlier in the night, arrested, and marched outside of the building by police where he was frisked, put into a van, and taken to jail. The legal number was called regarding Mr. Cohen and contact information left with legal assistants.
