They were police, the city of Pittsburgh admitted that they were police officers. Many of the officers within Pittsburgh during the G20 were wearing camouflage.

I don’t think this is fake, I mean how could some one get 3 guys to all have buzz cuts and then be able to buy an unmarked car? and further more, Why wouldn’t they be stopped driving through tear gas in to the on coming riot police…. who cares about uniforms maybe its because these people where actually police and given old uniforms? i mean think of all the time it would take to fake this little video… it would be useless.

FAKE!!!!! One uniform is current, but one uniform style has not been worn since the late 90’s.

Joe, what? Are you withholding critical judgment until you access more evidence and perspectives? I wish I could say that was a hopeful precedent for your future, but I know you are only doing so because the kidnapped person in question is an activist with political viewpoints and beliefs you don’t support.

I heard they dress up like this to make up for their small penises. Does anyone know if this is true? Joe?

Thank you.

Having been there for this actual snatch and grab (putting myself on the line), I must say that it was completly unwarranted. The claim released late by the Pittsburgh Police Department was that he was wanted for causing $50,000 worth of damage THURSDAY NIGHT, yet this protest occurred Thursday afternoon. Some people claim this to have been fake, but I saw this action with my own teargassed eyes and can let you all know that this was a kidnapping of epic proportions brought to you by the Police States of America.

I would bet that these were actually SWAT cops playing dress-up. As for Miranda warnings… LOL those would get read to him in the car. The whole concept of “snatch-and-grab” / “kidnap” arrests is reprehensible. As a nation, the US should be better than this.
