On Friday, September 25, right after the G20 summit had ended, over 100 people were arrested in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. 56 Were trapped by riot police on all sides and arrested on the Cathedral of Learning lawn at the University of Pittsburgh. There were peaceful activists, students, and community members arrested. Police used excessive and unnecessary force, often deploying smoke bombs, tear gas, and pepper spray and dogs on innocent people just trying to leave. Many people were beaten up. They were essentially using college students to practice martial law. This is one of the only videos that survived because most people had their cameras broken by police.

Police Brutality: ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) – An Anderson woman said she lost her faith in law enforcement after SWAT members damaged her home and left her homeless. Mary Williams said being inside her house for much longer than a minute causes her eyes and throat to burn and her skin to itch. She said Anderson SWAT damaged her home even though she allowed them to search it for a wanted suspect. Anderson police got a tip that an armed and dangerous man was hiding out in a downtown home. Police said they were looking for Tracy Miller, also known as Tracy McCloud. He is the son of Williams’ boyfriend. He’s also wanted for armed robbery and federal drug dealing charges. “She said we can come in and look and then we found out there was a dog in there, which may put us in harms way. We said, ‘Would you mind removing the dog?’ She then came outside and said she didn’t want to remove the dog,” said Detective Mitch Carroll. This is where Williams’ story and the police story start to contradict. Williams said she did remove the dog from the house and waited across the street. But it was another four hours before SWAT arrived and started shooting tear gas through the windows. “Like how you see a movie, a Rambo movie. How Rambo hides in the woods. It was awful. You could see big lights going off,” said Williams. SWAT came out empty handed — McCloud is still on the loose. Meanwhile, Williams said she is now homeless. Nearly every window is broken from teargas canisters and gas grenades …
Are there any long term affects of pepper spray?
My dogs got out through an open window thanks to my step daughter. Some jerk of a neighbor called the cops. The reserve officer, the ones that can’t carry a gun, showed up and pilled his baton and the dogs barked at him. His trigger spray finger was to spray them with pepper spray. Now, let me tell you these are the most friendly dogs in the world. There were three dogs that got out and the two Pit Bulls got sprayed not the Beagle.
The dogs are fine and I am wondering if there is anything I should watch for.

Police Brutality: A Lakewood police officer tortures dog with Taser for no apparent reason. The dog (Otis) was not attacking them and the owner was on his way. Two women said that they heard Otis barking last Saturday morning around 8:30 am and looked out of their apartment window to see the pup surrounded by several police officers. The officers tasered Otis twice “like he was a grizzly bear,” said witness Christina MacDonald. MacDonald added that “the dog was backing up defensively, as if he was saying, ‘stay away from me.’ He wasn’t being aggressive in any way.” You can read the story here: www.sfgate.com
A man whose home Columbia police raided in February on a narcotics search warrant has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and is contemplating a civil action against the department for shooting his two dogs during the raid. Jonathan E. Whitworth, 25, of 1501 Kinloch Court entered into a plea agreement with the state to drop charges of possession of marijuana and second-degree child endangerment for a guilty plea to possession of drug paraphernalia. Investigators believed Whitworth was in possession of a large amount of marijuana and was considered a distributor, Deputy Chief Tom Dresner said in February. Police, who found a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of marijuana, shot two dogs upon entering Whitworths home around 8:30 pm Feb. 11. SWAT team members encountered a pit bull upon entry, held back and then fatally shot the dog, police say. Officers said the dog was acting in an uncontrollably aggressive manner. A video of the raid shows that a shot was fired upon entry, but the pit bull was not wounded until later. Whitworth was arrested, and his wife and 7-year-old son were present during the raid. Both his wife and child were living in the residence at the time, said Jeff Hilbrenner, Whitworths attorney. Dresner previously said that intelligence gathered before the raid did not indicate the child was in the home. A second dog was shot in the leg but was not killed. The corgi is seen in the video and does not appear to be wounded. There is no indication when the …
My dog was recently sprayed with pepper spray by the local police officers in my city. He did not attempt to attack them. We were in a park when they approached us and I had fallen asleep doing my homework a few of my friends were sitting in somewhat close proximity and they were awake. My dog got very close to me and growled at them and we both got sprayed with pepper spray……a amazing way to wake up if you ask me. So my question is are there going to be any ill effects on my dog?? My friend took us home and we washed him with baby shampoo but I think some may have gotten in his nose and ears. I am very worried please help
I would file a complaint but I’m just happy they didn’t shoot him. The cops in my area are known for shooting dogs. Also if I do file a complaint I would probably have to move. The cops don’t take that well here and the amount of harassment would be unreal
I fell asleep because I felt safe with my friends sitting by me. It all happened very quickly. They were keeping a eye on us and his leash was tied to my leg.
@Mexicano I would file a complaint if I felt safe doing so because A. He was infact leashed! B. He growled at them for getting close to me C. They didn’t even try saying anything to wake me up. and D. DID I MENTION THE DOG WAS LEASHED?
this question isn’t about pitty for the police officers who pepper sprayed my dog and ME all I want know about is if he can have respiratory issues from it

Ok so its almost every oter time that i try to walk my dog that we get chased by loose dogs in our neighborhood. My town is so horiible about it! I have had dochunds, labs, mutts, pit bulls, german shepherd and a boxer loose that have come after me. Some run off after being yelled at, some when i get a stick or rock and the one wouldnt let me even move and some AWSOME guy in a truck came to my rescue.
Today i go home from work, stepped out of my car (in MY driveway) and from the corner of the house a huge lab mix charged at me with his hair standing on end. I ran intot he house and was going to take my dog out to pee but couldnt as we wouldnt leave. The myneighbors came out with their baby trying to get to their car and the husband had to chase and scream at the dog so his girl could get to the car. If you approach the dog all its hair on its back stands on end!
I called the cops and they said that since most labs are nice and the vet (pound) is full they arent going to do anything and that i need to wait till it leaves to take my dog out. Retarded I know!
So what do you think I should do? I was thinking to get pepper spray or mace, so that i can go out into my own yard, or to carry with me when (which is rare now, i usually go to the next town 15 minutes away to walk him) i try to take my dog for a walk.
Will mace or pepper spray STOP a dog from attacking or just piss it off? Which is better/stonger to use? Anyone else have to deal with this kind of crap and if so what do you do??
10 POINTS!!!!!
"what kind of cop was that"
a really really STUPID RUDE ONE! god i hate this town!

Swedish policemen kills dog with 15 gunshots after they tortured him with pepperspray…Disgusting…The dog attacked his owner but no one seems to know what really happend and why…In sweden there is some problems with some “bad” owners of this kind of breeds..so sad:(The reason why I put this video up is because I think the police should have some kind of plan BEFORE they “take care” of situations like this.And not handle in panic…
