I
T’S BEEN A little over a week since George
Floyd, an unarmed Black man, was killed by Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin on camera. In the time since, the four officers involved in the incident have been fired, including Chauvin, who has also been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter for Floyd’s death; Minneapolis had massive demonstrations and protests against police brutality and institutional racism, followed by cities across the world, from Los Angeles to Berlin; clips of police violence toward protesters have flooded social media; curfews have been instated across the country, including in Pittsburgh; journalists have been arrested and
assaulted on live TV; and President Trump called for looters to be shot and spent Sunday night in the White House bunker.
Sat., May 30 In Pittsburgh, the gatherings began on Saturday at the corner of Liberty Avenue and Sixth Street, where, for nearly two hours, the crowd marched and chanted peacefully throughout the streets. Before the evening ended, and after organizers say they told protesters to go home, the demonstration took a turn for the worse. Two police cars were set ablaze around 5 p.m. near PPG Paints Arena in Uptown. And after most of the marchers appeared to disperse, fewer than 100 people headed back Downtown after 6 p.m.
Some smashed storefront windows and began to loot, but it’s unclear how many. Many in the crowd clashed with police, who fired tear gas canisters and rubber bullets at protesters. It’s unclear the order of these events Downtown, and if police used force against people who were peacefully protesting or against those looting and smashing windows. In one video taken just as the original protest was concluding, someone who appears to be a young white man, though his face is mostly covered, can be seen instigating the attack on the first empty police car and giving the finger to protesters who asked him to stop. After that, some people smashed the windows of the vehicle with baseball bats and skateboards. CONTINUES ON PG. 4

Thousands protested against police brutality in Downtown Pittsburgh on Sat., May 30.
Eventually, a group of horse-mounted police officers arrived and surrounded the damaged vehicle. Several people then shouted at the officers, and some threw plastic water bottles and rocks at the officers. The mounted officers then fled the scene as the horses became startled. After they left, a man who appeared to be white, though he was wearing a scarf covering most of his face, loaded the police car with flammable material and set it ablaze. This was not the same white man that video shows instigating the damage of the first police car. On Mon., June 1, the person in the first video was identified by Pittsburgh Police as a 20-year-old man from Shaler and a warrant was issued for his arrest for “institutional vandalism, rioting and reckless endangerment of another person.” Mayor Bill Peduto tweeted on Saturday that “the vandals are not part of the young Black Leadership that organized this March. They are anarchists, hell bent on chaos and destruction. They hijacked a peaceful march for justice and exploited
it for their own selfish agenda.” The Pittsburgh protest was organized by multiple groups, though none have identified themselves as the lead organizers. The Facebook event for the protest was hosted by the Steel City Autonomous Movement (SCAM), who say that they are only a platform for boosting other events, and that the protest is “the combined efforts of a socially and politically diverse set of people.” A collective statement sent to Pittsburgh City Paper from protest organizers, identifying themselves as The Youth of Allegheny, cited goals of reforming police departments and eradicating white supremacy from law enforcement. As a result of the property damage and looting, a curfew of 8:30 p.m. was then instituted for Saturday and Sunday last week.
Sun., May 31 On Sunday evening, a few hundred people gathered behind Eastminster Presbyterian Church during a community
prayer vigil for racial justice and reconciliation. In the shadow of the church, several of the city’s religious leaders led prayers and gave stirring speeches asking for all people to come together to combat racism, injustice, and economic disparity. Reverend Nicole Porter of Eastminster sang a gospel piece by Thomas A. Dorsey, while others called for community action, moments of silence, or prayers for the family of Floyd, as well as for the families of other Black American men who have been killed by white law enforcement since 2018. The crowd spilled onto Aldino Street and the adjoining parking lot, while some watched from a distance on nearby rooftops. Most worshipers wore masks in line with CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Many people bumped elbows in greeting to avoid shaking hands. “I can say that our church parking lot has never looked so beautiful,” said Pastor Paul Roberts from Eastminster as he looked into the crowd. He then pleaded for white Americans to do more

to stop the suffering of Black Americans and end 400 years of their “being enslaved, murdered, lynched, and ethnically intimidated.” He cited the fear that he, as a white clergy member, sees in his own Black parishioners and called out the need for justice in the case of Floyd. He also cited the cases of Antwon Rose II, a local Black teenager who was fatally shot in June 2018 by former East Pittsburgh police officer Michael Rosfeld, and Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man in Georgia who was chased down and killed in February by two men claiming to be making a citizen’s arrest. The death and subsequent trial surrounding Rose’s death resulted in protests last year when Rosfeld was acquitted. The two men involved in Arbery’s death, Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, were charged with murder and aggravated assault. Even with their faces obscured by masks, it was clear many in the crowd were moved, with some lifting their glasses to wipe their eyes. “We’re the problem, white America’s the problem!” Roberts yelled into the microphone. “We’re the ones sick, our churches are sick. We’re sick, we’re dying, and we need to repent.” This sentiment was echoed by other local white church leaders in attendance, including Jonathan Cordle, one of the event organizers and senior pastor of East Liberty campus of Crossroads Church, and Dr. Randall Bush, senior pastor at the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, who
called on white Americans to recognize how they benefit from their privilege. It was also expressed by Mayor Peduto who said, “We have to utilize this moment for good. We need to find that way as, the pastor said, to bring together all sides. And we — and I’m talking to you white people — have to stand up for our neighbors, our brothers and sisters who have been the object of discrimination.” Bishop Loren Mann of Pentecostal Temple Church Of God In Christ detailed Floyd’s death, which has been compared to the 2014 death of Eric Garner, another unarmed Black man who was filmed repeatedly yelling “I can’t breathe” as a New York police officer held him in a chokehold. On May 25, Floyd was handcuffed and forced onto the ground, where Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes. “He was actually murdered,” said Mann. “And we’ve all watched this very, very publicly and it affects every one of us. What affects one, affects all of us.” Some speakers also discouraged the anti-police rhetoric that has become prevalent on social media and at protests, in response to footage of police using excessive force against crowds of protesters, including shooting rubber bullets and tear gas. In an especially jarring moment, a police officer on the scene volunteered to come forward and, after pulling down his face mask, addressed the crowd, saying, “as a representative of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, if myself or CONTINUES ON PG. 6

any other officer did anything that hurt, I ask for your forgiveness.” Deviating from the religious messaging was Peduto, who promised arrests of what he views as outside agitators who tainted the Downtown protest, which was organized by Black community groups. However, all 44 people arrested on Saturday were from the greater Pittsburgh area. Immediately afterward, both Peduto and Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert deflected blame from the marchers, with Schubert reportedly saying that the “peaceful protest” was “hijacked by a small group who brought youths into the group. White males dressed in anarchist attire.” The Shaler man who smashed the police car appears to be sporting a symbol from the Animal Liberation Front, a far-left animal rights group. However, CP witnessed many other people damaging police cars who showcased no anarchist symbols. “It will become crystal clear the young Black leadership that put together that march yesterday, where several thousand people gathered in peace with broken hearts in order to be
able to come together as one and say, ‘We will not take this anymore,’” said Peduto, “were not the people behind the violence that we saw happening throughout the city yesterday.”
Mon., June 1 At around 7 p.m. on Monday, about 100 protesters were met by police officers in East Liberty. After being told multiple times that they were part of an unlawful assembly, police fired rubber bullets or bean bags, and then smoke and chemical munitions at the crowd, at which point most of the protesters dispersed. All of this happened more than an hour before Pittsburgh’s officially declared curfew at 8:30 p.m. Some protesters stayed, and some threw water bottles and what appeared to be rocks at the police, who had formed a line and continued to advance, then eventually pushed out the crowd of protesters and journalists from Centre Avenue. Videos on social media corroborate this sequence of events. TribLive reported that rocks began to fly at police first, who responded with what observers
believed to be tear gas, but police say was smoke. However, video and photos show that a rubber bullet was fired first at the protester closest to the police line. Then, protesters responded by throwing objects and police fired smoke canisters. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Andrew Goldstein reported that protesters started to throw objects at the police after some kind of bang went off. Some protesters treated their faces with milk and other liquids to counter the effects of the canisters. At around 8 p.m., CP News Editor Ryan Deto witnessed at least four people that were arrested by police. Protesters didn’t confront the police line before the rubber bullets and smoke were fired. One protester got within 20 feet of the police line but did not get closer, then was shot and hit with a rubber bullet from that distance. In a tweet, Pittsburgh Public Safety Department says that a “small group broke off from peaceful march [and] broke windows and threw items at police at Centre and Negley. Officers issued several orders to disperse. Group ignored. Police used smoke and then gas

to disperse group.” However, it appears the police fired a rubber bullet first at the crowds. The crowd of protesters also told a man who broke some windows on Penn Avenue to stop, and it appears he was not part of the protest group, and he did not join people in marching down Centre Avenue. During a press conference, Pittsburgh Police officials say that protesters threw rocks and other objects at police officers before they issued orders to disperse. Pittsburgh Public Safety director Wendell Hissrich said that nine officers were injured, but none seriously. Hissrich also said that two protesters arrested complained of injuries. Hissrich also noted
that 20 people were eventually arrested. Mayor Peduto said that it was “smoke, not gas” that was used to disperse the crowd. CP saw a man whose entire face was red and tears falling down his face after the canisters were fired near the protesters. The 100 or so protesters who were confronted by police were initially part of a larger protest that marched through East Liberty for more than three hours, where police officers were seen clearing the streets so that the protesters could march without disruption. That crowd included more than 1,000 marchers, some who shared passionate speeches and rally cries and were left alone CONTINUES ON PG. 8

by police. This marked the third consecutive day of demonstrations in Pittsburgh in honor of George Floyd, a Black man killed last week by a Minneapolis Police officer. The protest was large but had fewer than Saturday’s, which brought more than 3,000 people Downtown. After organizers say they told demonstrators to go home on Saturday, property damage started with the destruction and burning of an unoccupied police vehicle. A second empty police vehicle was also set ablaze, and then about 100 protesters traveled Downtown. While Downtown, some of those protesters on Saturday smashed windows at several businesses and looted others. Protesters were also met with pellets and tear gas, and SWAT teams were called. On Monday, however, there were far fewer incidents of property damage and there were no instances of looting. Nor were there instances of violence carried out by protesters until police fired rubber bullets or bean bags and tear gas at the group on Centre Avenue in East Liberty. The doors and windows at Dollar Bank and Villa shoe store appear to be the only properties damaged. Some area businesses
still took the precaution of closing early and boarding up windows, such as CVS Pharmacy and Whole Foods. The three-hour long marched snaked through East Liberty and included pleas for participants to vote and to pressure their public officials to change the state’s use-of-force laws. At the beginning of the march, a woman shouted into the megaphone, “If you touch a Black business, I will personally fuck you up.” After the three-hour march concluded, several protest organizers called on people to disperse and return home. That is when a group of about 100 continued to march from Target and down Centre Avenue. After they were confronted by police, the crowd retreated back toward the Home Depot in East Liberty. By the time curfew came at 8:30 p.m., most of the crowd had completely dispersed and protesters headed home. Police on horseback, in vehicles, and on foot in riot gear swept through the East Liberty business district. According to news reports, some people were arrested in East Liberty for violating curfew. As of press time, it’s unclear if protests or demonstrations against police brutality will continue this week.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY // INFO@PGHCITYPAPER.COM
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
“It’s OK to live a life others don’t understand,” writes author Jenna Woginrich. That’s a healthy attitude for an eccentric person like her, who taught herself by trial and error how to run a small farm with a meager budget while all alone in the middle of nowhere. But does her advice apply to everyone? I say yes, it does. All of us have quirky behaviors and idiosyncratic ideas and odd feelings that other people find hard to understand, let alone appreciate. I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because the coming weeks will be a time when it’s best for you to emancipate yourself as much as possible from the need to be perfectly understood as you express your raw, pure, unique self.
Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield articulates the spiritual medicine I think you should seek in the coming weeks. You especially need it, and by happy coincidence, it’s likely to be available. Kornfield writes: “When we have for so long been judged by everyone we meet, just to look into the eyes of another who does not judge us can be extraordinarily healing.” I urge you to identify the people who can perform this service for you, then ask them point-blank to perform this service, even if it has to happen over FaceTime or via Zoom. To generate the good karma that will ensure this happens in just the right way, offer to perform the same service for others.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
I’m one of the lucky people who has never been addicted to alcohol or drugs. What’s the source of my great fortune? Two kinds of grace are key: I suffered no abuse and trauma when I was growing up, and my genetic make-up doesn’t predispose me to self-medicate with intoxicants. But I am indeed a bit addicted to other things, like fearful fantasies, sexual feelings, and the urge to win arguments. So I’m blessed in some ways, cursed in others — just like all of us! In honor of our season of introspection, my fellow Cancerian, I invite you to do what I just did: Count your blessings and curses. Doing so will bring you just the right kind of healing.
“The changes we dread most may contain our salvation,” writes author Barbara Kingsolver. Although I mostly agree with her conclusion, I’ll also suggest that we could come up with less melodramatic versions of it. For example, we might say, “The adjustments we’re resisting may actually be healthy.” Or “The uncomfortable transitions we’re avoiding might ultimately lead to a better version of comfort.” Or “The revelations we’re attempting to ignore and deny could eventually be the source of relief and release.” Do any of these work for you right now, Capricorn? I bet at least one does.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Jacquemus Mini Le Chiquito” is the name of a tiny purse you can buy for $522. It fits into the palm of your hand, and won’t hold much — maybe a single-use strand of dental floss, a shoe from a Barbie doll, a snippet of a loved one’s hair, an aspirin, maybe a few crumbs from a potato chip. In any case, I don’t recommend it for you. You should be surrounding yourself with symbols of capaciousness and roominess. You need influences that inspire you to be a spacious container. It’s time for you to welcome and receive an abundance of blessings, inquiries, and invitations.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Worry is a way to pretend that you have knowledge or control over what you don’t,” writes author Rebecca Solnit. “And it surprises me, even in myself, how much we prefer ugly scenarios to the pure unknown.” Your assignment in the coming weeks is to thoroughly incorporate Solnit’s wisdom — and then wield it with tender ferocity as you reshape your relationship with the future. See if you can manage, if only for ten days, to fight off and dissolve the reflex to worry. Here’s a tip: Any time the agitated fantasy of an ugly scenario rises up in your imagination, remind yourself that it’s not objectively true and immediately replace it with a fantasy of a desirable scenario.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Nobel Prize-winning Libran author William Faulkner was asked by a cousin if he was drunk when he dreamed up the imaginative stories and characters in his novels. The truth was that on occasion Faulkner did indeed consume alcohol in excessive amounts. However, he rarely indulged while actually writing. His creative ideas mostly came from his fertile imagination, not an unhinged spirit. In the coming weeks, I hope you will be like Faulkner during the inventive phases he enjoyed while sober and disciplined and driven by focused intention. The astrological omens suggest that’s the best recipe for generating original ideas and productive visions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “What use is this howling tenderness?” wrote eighth-century Tamil mystic poet Andal. My research on Google reveals that no one has answered her question until now. I decided you would benefit from hearing my response, since you are in a chapter of your life story when howling tenderness could work to your benefit. So here’s my counsel: Howling tenderness is useful because it has the power to shatter mysterious barriers that have been at least partially obstructing you from exploring the frontiers of sacred intimacy.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some people seem to think of sacredness as being pristine and pious — an immaculate and orderly transcendence of earthly concerns. Author and minister Marilyn Sewell has a different perspective. “Who can order the Holy?” she asks. “It is like a rain forest, dripping, lush, fecund, wild. We enter its abundance at our peril, for here we are called to the wholeness for which we long, but which requires all we are and can hope to be.” I recommend Sewell’s version of holiness to you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. You’re primed to upgrade and deepen your sacred lust for life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When Europeans arrived in the New World, the Iroquois Confederacy in what’s now northeastern North American had been practicing participatory democracy for 350 years. The visionary principles of these native people ultimately influenced the formation of the United States and its Constitution. Now would be a good time for you to be inspired by these facts. How? You could draw teachings from the past and use them to create your future. You could study the perspectives of indigenous people and incorporate their wisdom into the way you live your life. You could tune in to and explore the traditions of people you respect and adopt them for your own use.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Aries poet Paul Verlaine wrote “Autumn Song” in 1866. It became a well-known French poem, and eventually played a role in a historical turning point. In June 1944, a topsecret British spy organization used the poem as a code to communicate crucial information to the French Resistance, via BBC radio, about the allies’ upcoming D-Day invasion of Normandy. In the spirit of poetry being used to accomplish practical actions, I’m now sending out a burst of code to you, Aries. It’s adapted from another poem by Verlaine: “Delight in good-omened fortune, baptized by the bristling scents of mint, thyme, and clover on the wind of dawn.” Regard this as a signal for you to acquire a necessary resource, strengthen connections with key allies, and intensify your current quest.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus philosopher Bertrand Russell observed, “The best life is the one in which the creative impulses play the largest part and the possessive impulses the smallest.” That is always an important principle for everyone to embrace, in my opinion. But it will be an especially essential truth for you in the coming weeks. Your creative powers will thrive, even soar and generate blessings, to the degree that you downplay and outwit your possessive inclinations.
