That said, the reaction to the mostly young, more urban G-20-related protests this evening in Pittsburgh are somewhat surprising after the ho-hum reaction to this August’s town hall protests.

Others reported police use of tear gas and rubber bullets.

Failure to disperse? The problem with this charge, of course, is that it is a charge that results from a police decision to shut down the protest.

Could you imagine the town hall protesters in August had the police told them to disperse?

Or, in the reverse, could you imagine the police at Pitt tonight if one of the students there brought a gun to their protest?
