G20 is happening 5 hours away. UPitt students are getting blasted with sound canons, shot with rubber bullets, and beaten by riot police. God Bless America!

Here is a first hand account from Reddit:

... There was a dumpster lit on fire further up the road, so I went up there to see what I could see, and suddenly there were tons of people sprinting down the sidewalk away from the fire. SWAT vans and six or seven major police cars pulled up to Schenley Plaza.
