Obviously some apologists for police states on DU.

Some fear any form of civil unrest.

For the rest of us, it's a choice between reality and antidepressants.

This is v. important.

This has been happening all throughout Europe for the past couple of years
:banghead:

came out in a smaller group FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE POLICE LINE. It's like certain "teams" of cop were ALREADY set to go after SOMEBODY as soon as they saw them.

These kinds of vids are invaluable when it comes to police tactics and, HOPEFULLY, how to counter these tactics.

Some people just can't handle the truth!

:kick:

Now I'll need to look at another country to flee to.

*Looks in Mexico's direction*

The conference is in downtown Toronto..in a lovely area of the city. Canadians will want to know why downtown Toronto was chosen as the place to hold the G20 instead of a site more easily contained.

Why are the police targeting some in the crowd? That's easy, because, after several days, they know the faces of the troublemakers. Many Canadians just wanted a peaceful protest..

But suddenly a small group hiding in the crowd, will put on black clothing and mask their faces, then dart through the crowd to break windows, start cars on fire, then remove the black clothing and blend back into the crowd.

Many people have been arrested, maybe 500-600, we don't know yet... but some Torontonians out to view the protest got swept up when things turned violent.

Downtown Toronto, in the area where the G20 is happening, is a pretty posh area, and lots of Torontonians live in the downtown area as well. The police would rather not use tear gas, because they don't want the residue of the tear gas to get into people's homes and cause breathing problems etc for the Torontonians who live there.

There are lots of onlookers also, just out for a look see... and some last night got caught up in sweeps by police as bad actors in an otherwise peaceful crowd, suddenly started causing trouble.

Interesting times, but when I see rocks hurled through store windows, and hear that the govt says the cost of replacement is to be handled by the store's insurance policy, well, maybe it will take Harper down a notch..

Hope so..

I think of police provocateurs. They were already caught doing it at the SPP in Montebello in 2007, thankfully that time stopped from causing any harm or damage... except to their reputation.

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

Did I forget to mention that agent provocateurs ought to be fucking shot?

The same kind of crap happened at the G-20 in Pittsburgh.

The G-20 Summit = a tool of the devil.
