Multiple Protests - A Community Outraged

The first protests occurred on June 20 and 21, where hundreds of people gathered outside the Allegheny County Courthouse. Then, on the evening of June 22, protestors slowed traffic on the Parkway East freeway for miles as they marched. Further protests took place near PNC Park, located on the North Shore, and in the neighborhood of Pittsburgh’s South Side.

The protests continued into July, and the preliminary hearing for Rosfeld had to be shifted to the Allegheny County Courthouse amid fears of security in the city. On July 8, while protestors were on Route 30 in North Versailles, a car drove through the group and struck four of the protestors. One person was taken to hospital and another was arrested.

A new protest policy was issued on July 26 because of the continuous disruption by the ongoing protests to the bridges and roadways in the city. Although the police don’t prohibit protests, it does prohibit protestors who are unpermitted to block the traffic or cause the shutdown of high traffic times in red and yellow zones.

The Public Safety Director and the Police Chief were confronted by protestors at the corner of Grant Street and Forbes Avenue on July 27, regarding the new policy. One protestor, Nicky Jo Dawson, stated that the policy “put further restrictions on people who are peacefully protesting against an oppressive system.”

The guidelines designate nine city intersections and nine roads and highways as ’Red Zones‘, which cannot be blocked at any time. These include I-279 and I-376, and routes 28, 51 and 65. This also includes any hospital entry and exit routes, special event entry and exit routes as well as all bridges and tunnels.

Eight other areas are designated as ’Yellow Zones‘, which can only be blocked by rallies and marches for 15 minutes only during non-rush hour periods. Among these are Grant Street, Liberty Avenue, Stanwix Street and all school zones.

Protesters violating the policy will be given three warnings to disperse before police action is taken. There is one exception whereby any acts of violence against persons or damaging of property shall result in immediate police action.”
