Police attack protesters with tasers and dogs
Edited on Tue Aug-23-05 10:45 AM by dogday
Summary:
Police in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania used tasers, attack dogs and pepper spray to disperse a crowd of nonviolent protesters who had organized to shut down the local military recruiting station. Here is video of a woman, already subdued on the ground and surrounded by police officers, being shot with a taser. A 68 year old woman was bitten by a police dog and hospitalized. There were several other hospitalizations and at least six arrests. See Pittsburgh IMC for non-corporate coverage.
