Activists return to Oakland Recruiting Station
08/28/2005
On
Saturday, August 27, the Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) held a
non-violent picket at Oakland's military recruiting station, the site
of last week's police assault in which the police Tasered two
demonstrators and a 68-year old woman was bitten by a police dog. By
noon, about 100 people lined the sidewalk on Forbes between Atwood St.
and Oakland Ave. There was a sizeable presence of police in the
vicinity -- including Pittsburgh Police Chief McNeilly -- but unlike
last week, the police did not attack the crowd and the protest ended
without incident.
