According to Reuters, "A largely peaceful protest in Pittsburgh grew tense on Friday when demonstrators, demanding justice for an unarmed black teenager who was killed by a policeman, blocked traffic and were confronted by police in riot gear. Overall, four protestors were arrested. During the protest intersection were blocked by hundreds of people only worsening Friday afternoon rush hour traffic. Good thing the protest was for a good cause. Reuters reported that the protest was in reaction to Antwon Rose, 17, being "shot and killed by an East Pittsburgh police officer as he ran from a vehicle after it was stopped by police who were searching for a suspect in an earlier drive-by shooting."
