Is anyone on here familiar enough with Posse Comitatus to explain to us what we're seeing and how it's legally justified? I know that the regular military can be used in limited circumstances, but I would love to hear some details.

You have heard of "where the rubber meets the road"? This is where the baton meets the buttocks.

These G20 protesters make the Tea Party folks look like Charm School Graduates.

UPDATE: "The G-20 Joint Information Center, which can be reached at 412-402-7630, issued this statement to me which explains exactly what is going on in that video."
The individuals involved in the 9/24/2009 arrest which has appeared online are law enforcement officers from a multi-agency tactical response team assigned to the security operations for the G20.
It is not unusual for tactical team members to wear camouflaged fatigues. The type of fatigues the officers wear designates their unit affiliation. Prior to the arrest, the officers observed this subject vandalizing a local business. Due to the hostile nature of the crowd, officer safety and the safety of the person under arrest, the subject was immediately removed from the area.
