Pittsburgh G20 Riot Dumpsters Will Roll

Riot police fired tear gas at the protesters at G20 Summit in Pittsburgh. Up to 1,000 demonstrators and reporters were greeted with tear gas for participating in unsanctioned protest. They have been ordered to stop by PA area police.

CNN had reported that their reporter was tear gassed.

"They pushed us into a side street in a residential area and then shot tear gas at us. They shot like three canisters," demonstrator Ross McCoy said.
