There is no local or state police force combined anywhere in this country well enough staffed to effectively police this type of venue. A big thanks to the PA National Guard for pitching in to help when needed. That's what they do. One of the many things they do to protect your safety. Anyone not entirely supportive of the job our National Guard does, whether it be in in the streets of Pittsburgh or the deserts of central Asia is an ungrateful, paranoid, ignorant SOB.

Tench Coxe: "As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms." in "Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution," under the pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789.
Did Pittsburgh Police violate the protesters Constitutional Right to Assemble?
Here is, in part, the Constitution of Pennsylvania. Judge for yourself if the Police Chief had the authority to declare this an UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY.

All power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority and instituted for their peace, safety and happiness.

"Congress has no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tench Coxe 1789
