The one cop who charged at the cameraman seemed particularly angry and for some reason hit a lightpost with his baton when walking away (I suppose that's better than hitting an innocent bystander). Also, it appears the guy in the yellow hoodie on the ground did have a taser put to his chest, not his back, and it sounds like it was used on him and the police even say they are using it. Did I miss something there? Maybe the officer said "you're gonna get tased" -- it's hard to tell. But I thought I heard the sound of taser noise.
I really hope Duquesne University does the right thing and recognizes the union. Normally, when employers refuse to recognize the union, it's because they want to try to hire a union-busting law firm to turn things around, find technical ways to challenge the bargaining unit, and intimidate people who are supporting the union. Collective negotiation is a social, beneficial endeavor. I wouldn't expect anything less from teachers. Hopefully, Pittsburghers can continue to be proud of their educational institutions, including Duquesne.
