The Chicago Police Department is investigating several of its officers accused of forcing a college student they arrested during last month's G-20 summit in Pittsburgh to pose for a group photo with them. (Oct. 20)

3. That is FAR from being the ONLY chunk of police misconduct during G20.
There's one vid of the cops in their "Ninja Turtles" riot gear attacking a woman on a bicycle until she finally lost her temper and retaliated. She gets shoved twice by one cop, gets off of her bike, then takes a baton to the back from a second cop. She was doing NOTHING wrong, yet she suffered three assaults from two officers before getting fed up with their bullshit. What they did to her was criminal. Most vids out there don't show the first shove. This one shows it, but you have to look for it as the camera is panning past her when it happens. I can't find the footage that I saw originally which clearly shows the abuse this woman had to endure. Of course, she did no damage (as you can plainly see in the vid) but the cops beat her to the ground over this, arrested her, handcuffed her, and took her to jail.

The cops in this vid are punks, thugs, and brutes. They SHAME the City of Pittsburgh with their behavior.
