Thousands Gather In Squirrel Hill For Protest, Turn Backs On President Trump's Motorcade

Source: KDKA 2 CBS Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Thousands of people gathered in Squirrel Hill Tuesday for two protests in opposition to President Donald Trump’s visit to the City of Pittsburgh, following the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue...

...The two rallies eventually merged together for one big rally.

Police halted the protesters path about a half a block before reaching the Tree of Life Synagogue, while the president was there.

While they could not see President Trump, the protesters did hear the sirens from his motorcade. While it left the area, many of them turned their backs and knelt down as a sign of opposition to him and his policies.

Am reading other reports saying tRump was angry at the high number of Pittsburgh protesters and fled the scene sooner than his schedule had anticipated.

Boo hoo...

If a large portion of the democratic caucus turn their back lock arms and take a knee that would be an unbelievable image.
