Pittsburgh Police Investigate Viral Video Showing Clash Between Protesters And Restaurant-Goers

Footage from a demonstration in Downtown Pittsburgh over the weekend is blowing up on social media. The viral video showed demonstrators and restaurant goers clashing in the streets; KDKA's Royce Jones reports.

Quit calling them protesters. Quit saying they "clashed" with diners. They are rampaging through our town and you're not helping by reporting this way. DO YOUR JOBS!

@J. C. L. dude .. you've already made up your mind so no one is going to change it on KZbin. You have to do it yourself. You want to see change? Like...real change? Go to your local town hall meetings and voice your concerns in a respectable manner. Keep doing it. Make a name for yourself and make something happen... On a local level. Pretty soon you'll get respect...youll have people actually listening to you, and you could really do some good. Or just yell really loudly, call people names...destroy any chance you have at actually spreading a positive message... and have people think you're nothing but a punk. It's up to you man. You can be the hero...or you can blindly follow everyone else and be the rich elites stooge.

Hey, Biden says if you vote for him, Kamala will stop going on CNN and encouraging more "peaceful protests". This can all stop if you just kneel down and vote for Biden. Major corporations have already paid protection money to BLM so that the protests will target small business owners instead of Amazon warehouses and the like. But there should be good results, like in Portland, they've voted for the farthest left Democrats for years and BLM has rewarded Portland by peacefully renovating their beautiful city. (do not look up any clips of Portland, just trust me, it's great there...)

Biden promises the violence can all stop, if you just agree to vote for him. This worked out really well for Portland when they elected Ted Wheeler as Mayor and Kate Brown as Governor. It worked out really well for Seattle when they elected Jenny Durkin as Mayor and Inslee as Governor. It's working out great for PA as well... though at least we still have a few regular Democrats left here who might prosecute criminals... but Pittsburgh is a few leftist victories away from becoming a burned out shell that you can't visit, can't go to a Steeler or Penguin game, can't enjoy a dinner down town... just like Portland, just like Seattle. So give in to the terrorist threats and vote Biden! Seems like a smart way to go.

[@debbieshanahan5603]

Let’s see more of the video of the altercation between the bike riders and the mob leader. That young child was not the violent type, come on man... they didn’t even know how to throw a proper punch. Once again, only showing the side of the video to make them look like the victims. The old couple of course will not come forward, why so they can be harassed in front of their home too. Until we get a mayor and governor that will stand up to these bullies and shut them down their level of violence is only going to get worse. And no this is not coming from a racist prospective this is coming from a Republican prospective.

And no answer to anything. What was their message attacking innocent seniors, bikers & a black owned/managed McD's? They're actually causing blowback & record gun sales...You don't think so? That's not political awareness. In fact they are stirring up those groups you mentioned. Let's burn the city & EVERYONE'S businesses, including black owned mom & pop shops. This isn't the 1800's or 60's, thankfully. Vote, sue, prevent, change policies such as the "no knee to chest". The Floyd (rip) video did that, not the protests... Stay in school, work hard, leave drugs alone & comply with those vested with authority to enforce our civilized laws. Don't be at the wrong place, at the wrong time, doing the wrong thing. Cause things don't go as planned. Struggle with an armed officer & common sense will tell you what will occur. No matter your roots. Let's fix cities with high rates of violence such as S.S.C that has over 600 shot this year already. Republicans/conservatives don't allow this chaotic nonsense like CHOP city. How did that turn out??? What do you want? Jobs & opportunities? So burn the city, harass & cause animosity? Guess who just became a Billionaire? Tyler Perry. By working & building relationships.

Notice the liberal reporter says “this rider smacks someone’s bullhorn then gets hit by skateboard”..... to make it seem like he just hit the bullhorn for no reason and the peaceful protestors just defended themselves. When in fact if you watch the video, they hit the biker in the back of the head with the bullhorn, and that’s why he reaches back to hit the bullhorn - defending himself. The protestors were the aggressors. They are all super tough so they gang up on a biker and then bully an old couple just trying to eat and enjoy retirement. What’s wrong with people?? But anyways, you see why people say “fake news”.... they lie, spin things, twist the events, whatever they can to push their agenda.
