Video Shows Pittsburgh Cop Punching Teen At Gay Pride In An Apparent Use Of Excessive Force
A video showing a Pittsburgh Police officer using what appears to be excessive force on a 19-year-old Pittsburgh PrideFest attendee, has sparked outrage online after it was shared on Facebook late Sunday afternoon.
According to eyewitness Autumn Huntera, the incident occurred around 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Huntera explains that the teen engaged in a heated debate with a group of anti-gay protesters attending the Pride festival: “She was saying that being gay is not a sin and that she was a lesbian and proud of it, and that she wasn’t going to hell for it.”
Huntera detailed her account of the incident for us:
The girl was debating with one of the protesters, and she stepped closer without even realizing it and the officer ran over to her. He grabbed her by the back of her neck, pulled her over, dropped her on the ground, pulled her up by her hair, and said “Do you want me to hit you.” When she didn’t respond, he hit her in stomach area about 4 or 5 times repeatedly. After everyone yelled at him, he hand cuffed her, put her against a wall. She was crying against a wall next to her ‘attacker’ while her fiancee was panicking trying to find someone who recorded it.
Huntera adds that the protester and teen were about a foot apart when the officer grabbed her without prior warning.

This. This right here is the whole reason I love this movie. Quasi could've killed Frollo, he had every right to... and yet he chose the better path. Frollo was supposedly a man of God, and Quasi was thought of as cursed demon... yet who is the better man? A lot of people can learn from this, if only they could see beyond the happy musicals and silly gargoyles. THIS is the true lesson to be had from this movie.
No matter how much they hurt you, hurting others is never the right answer. You'll become no better than them.
