Police Crackdown on G20 Protests: Democracy Now! Reports from the Streets

World leaders are gathering in Pittsburgh for the G20 summit under the shadow of a police crackdown on protesters in the streets.

This is believed to be the first time sound cannons have been publicly used in the United States. Democracy Now! producer Steve Martinez reports from the streets of Pittsburgh.
