G20 Pbgh; Police State Ghost-Town; Pics and Video of Tear-gassing

For OpEdNews: Rob Kall - Writer
Friend of OpEdNews, anti-war activist Bill Perry, a Viet Nam war veteran, has posted an incredible collection of images to flickr. A few of the 100 he's posted so far are in this article, with his captions, in italics.
I spoke to veteran civil defense attorney Paul Hetznecker about how the police try to block photos from being taken at events-- one way, by segregating protesters to specified, distant areas. My take-away from that conversation: Take pictures. The police use photos and videos to craft false scenarios and lies. The best defense for protesters is to take still images and videos of police-- thousands of them. Get their faces, their shifting positions. This is one of the most powerful defenses when protesters are charged. The police will, otherwise, use photos to place you on the scene, to support charges of criminal conspiracy.

Foreclosed Mortgages, Smashed Dreams, and Ruined Lives, yet they get

I spoke to a friend whose son lives in Pittsburgh. The city is locked down tight. He has been instructed to work at home. Stores are closed. One report says that over 12,000 police have been brought in and they are working 12 hour shifts.

Protesters have been given two remote locations to "protest at." I spoke with noted Philadelphia civil defense attorney Paul Hetznecker, on this and he observed that the idea of protest is to be where the people who need to hear the message are. He said that this nation was founded by protesters, that this new approach of blocking and hiding dissent and protest has been continued by the Obama administration.
