1. You know somebody is going to call "fake" on this.

Sure are a lot of "fake" videos about the police going overboard in Pittsburg lately.

[NOW tense]

2. I actually have mixed feelings about the video. n/t

3. As a parent I'm very concerned about these young people being treated like

prisoners.

4. Sorry...I might be wrong---but I'll have to say fake.

This is way to organized and well planned to be real. Not to mention---where are the tears from tear gas or the pepper spray. Added to that---I should be hearing scandal and class action lawsuits from the students at this school because of the police not letting them out. Added to that---I should be seing some cameras being confiscated and the like. I can't see this as real. It would be a national scandal.

6. My son is a student on campus and he relayed this story to me from eyewitness accounts

of other students long before the video turned up on You Tube. The video is linked on the student newspaper The Pitt News.

Give it some time. Formal complaints have been lodged with the mayor's office and he is promising an investigation.
