SVC Activist slammed on local radio
by SVC Activist Friday, Mar. 21, 2003 at 11:09 AM

SVC protestor John Lowry was arrested last night at the Peace Rally. He did not move as quick as the cops wanted him to.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone heard local radio slamming the comments made by John to the PPG. I have heard rumors that they were, can anyone give information on this? I think that the word needs to get out that alot of the Pittsburgh Police were demeaning to the protesters. Calling us all sorts of profane words. Then at the end, one was yelling to the protesters, "where is your spirit now, why don't you come out here to the streets and see what happens." They also threatened arrest of one of our foreign students because he was banging on a drum. They confiscated the drum, roughed him around a bit and then told him to get back on the sidewalks or be arrested. Can anyone give me more information on all of this?
