Police used teargas pepper spray, rubber bullets and LRAD 'sonic cannon' against University of Pittsburgh students during the Pittsburgh G20 Summit.

Eye witness account: "I was at the protest on Friday night and it was nothing but peaceful, until hundreds of riot-gear equipped cops started to push everyone around.
