Extra credit about the G20 Project

This blog was very informational, i honestly had no idea about any of this and its crazy to actually see this happening in the US. The videos we watched in class were so shocking and they made it seem like the protestors were causing trouble when in fact they were just enforcing their free speech. I think the LRADs are way too powerful for a simple protest in Pennsylvania, and the police use tatics to keep the protestors from being able to leave. To know that the goverment has enough power to basically get away with anything they want if they say they need "emergency powers" is kind of scary. Our government is supposed to be a democracy and we are supposed to have the right to free speech, and free press and not allowing the protests to protest about the G20 project is infringing on that right. The news broadcasts that we watched about these protests made it seem like it was not the United States, and that the protestors were doing something wrong, and that the police had all right to do what they were doing.
