Your not the only one with that idea...
i remember someone with a sign at the protest that said...
'We came here unarmed..... this time!'
I wonder how the next one will look like with all the tension that arose from this protest.
It will look like six hundred men in blue earning their brown stripes.
Followed by the opening shots of the next American revolution.

Ok, lets say we don't know the whole story but if they did get pepper sprayed AFTER they laid down, is this a justifiable police action?
or just a spiteful act by a childish cop?

...going to hit someone with a baton when they have tripped over, spraying pepper spray in peoples faces when they have complied with instructions, surrounding these people and not allowing them to move anywhere making the situation 10 times worse...

The next American Revolution, as you put it, is not going to be fought to defend the rights of a bunch of bored kids who are mad because the police shut them down at a G20 protest. We have far fatter fish to fry in this nation. Just ask an Oath Keeper.

The video you have under this heading
"Police teargas students at UPitt, trap them in a staircase"
I think you, as well as others know that the two 'police' officers standing on top of the staircase are not really police.
If you look at other footage and even footage in that video, the riot gear is all uniform. Knee-pads, not silly baseball catcher's shin/knee guards are worn, as can be clearly seen on the 2 supposed police officers at the top of the stairwell. Also, if they fired tear gas into the staircase area, people wouldn't be calm. You would have coughing, runny nose, tearing, excessive saliva (yeah, been gassed before).
And what's with them holding what looks to be like 2 white PVC piping instead of black batons?
Silly video of college kids looking to make a YouTube hit.

As far as I'm concerned the day people are denied the right to assemble through intimidation is one to remember. And if your fine to sit on your laurels until someone you know gets a concussion from 'judicious force' at a peaceful rally, then more power to you.I'm pretty sure George Washington, Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson didn't attend the rally that opened the first Revolution either.
