Funny thing is, some of these idiots will probably be rubbing elbows with some of these cops at a bar in a week's time and neither will have any idea.

You may crush our bodies and our ponchos, but you'll never silence our song of protest!

Looking at the photo of this guy bashing up Starbucks, I want to know if there were people inside - whether it be staff or customers.
If so, this behaviour becomes even more inexcusable than it already is, by virtue of risking hurting someone very seriously.
- Starbucks were all closed - they knew they were a targetmegE

re, that pic above with the cops surrounding everyone...
the technique is called "kettling" - It has been often criticised because it leads to the arrest of law abiding protesters and is known to be an inflammatory tactic because people are held in the same space for many hours and are denied access to food/water and are also unable to go to the toilet etc.

(1st pic above - where all innocents are being arrested)
i've seen this type of thing first handthis is my absolute understanding of how authority deals with modern day dissent. it attacks the civil rights of peaceful, intelligent protesters with a conscious, a righteous objective, some degree of balls, and a voice..
and let's the bloc run free! notice in the video of the original post - the blac bloc had fun with total anarchy in the streets (not a single police of the entire $1 billion stopping the destruction of any property or making arrests) ..
it's clear as day how dissent is crushed with an iron fist.. the entire message behind the public opposition is completely distorted, and neutralized through media ops stereotypically reporting it as 'hooligans' doing 'vandalism'.. with 'no message'.. its an obvious setup regardless if these vandals are police are not..
this is an absolute repeat of any modern day protest in the past 15 years
- I guess non-violent protesters are an easy target; they don't put up a fight.Continuity

anybody who thinks that innocent protesters are not being arrested needs to have their head examined and should stop watching so much corporate media..
its simply the case that the $1 billion in G20 security is not for protecting windows and property, but rather to oppress the public's opposing views of oligarchal policy making on behalf of the taxpayer..
thus the innocent protesters with a message are more dangerous to the G20 than the black bloc thugs that vandalize..
- a lot of these 'black bloc' folks are police anywaylodef
