G20 protesters blasted by sonic cannon

US police spark outrage by using wartime acoustic weapon to disperse G20 protesters in Pittsburgh.

Only a few hundreds protesters took to the streets of Pittsburgh to mark the opening day of the G20 summit of world leaders, but the police were taking no chances.

Sonic weapons or long-range acoustic devices have been used by the US military overseas, notably against Somali pirates and Iraqi insurgents.

But US security forces turned the piercing sound on their own citizens yesterday to widespread outrage. Pittsburgh officials told the New York Times that it was the first time "sound cannon" had been used publicly.

Oh, I saw the sonic cannon on a late night news special with diana swayer or maybe it was anderson cooper. I dont remember them saying they would use it against protesters. and what about the poor  animals near by?. the sound kind of reminds me of that annoying ringing sound, they play in certain areas so teenagers wont hang about.

True,there are "professional" demonstrators who travelling around different countries and their only meaning is make so much fear,suspicions and devastation as they can.

Sonic Cannon works in radio frequency,so same tech works against it.

Thats any protesters.
The TEA party protests here in America were plagued by people that were instigating trouble and giving false reports.
many were employed by CNN and NBC.
