the media will only show the violent black blocks,
no attention about the peaceful protesters whom actually have a message,
-
message of peaceful protesters:
please G20 governance,
stop messing with the lives of billions of people just for profit and war,
stop giving more respect to corporations then normal individuals,
stop aiding those same corporations rape the resources of this planets while pretending we (the individuals) should get the bill
all legit messages,how much did they spend in security this time, like a billions dollar,
yet they leave an abandoned police chaser in the middle of a square so masked black block could burn it.MSM rejoices,

someone needed to justify their insane invoice

but at least they have lots of shiny new toys

The cop videos are funny.
but... what is the issue with police going under cover in a peaceful crowd? If they're peaceful and remain that way - what do they have to worry about? I think the precedent has been set for this G conferences that at some point the shit is going to hit the fan and these "anarchists" are going to start fucking shit up. Should the cops just wait back at the precinct for the inevitable?

- maybe its the whole "topless 15 year old" thing.xcarlx
- I'm no more a fan of 'The Man' than the next guy, this is too much. Someone who only wants to make a semi-decent living has to clean up after these peasants.Continuity

- This is stupid. Cops buy their own shoes with money from their dept. No single boot is worn.Centigrade

it's kind of worrying that after all these years people are oblivious/ignorant about the G20 and why it angers people so much.

all this horseshit vandalism is an inside covert false flag operation done to neutralize the mainstream perception of G20 opposition..

not sure if this has been posted yet (too lazy and sick of shit to read through all the posts), but i think its important to contextualise the police strategy:
http://www.thestar.com/article/8…
If one billion dollars of security can't stop approximately 50-75 vandals, you gotta wonder if that's what they were trying to do in the first place. OR is this a state sanctioned show of force against any dissenting voices, a signpost to keep people in their place. Scary shit.
- nice article.. you're definitely catching on.. i myself am a protester and know this first handbliznutty

A couple of feature length documentaries have been made outlining the issues and events surrounding the 2010 G20 summit in Toronto and are available to be watched in full online. There are a bunch of original video and interviews as well as video taken by witnesses, they provide a detailed look at what happened and will really take you back there.
Some things captured among others are the mass violations of civil rights and general abusive behaviour from law enforcement. I was around for some of it and I can say the experience is weighing heavily on my mind this election, especially after the contempt charges brought to the Conservative government.

"Come to Toronto, for work or pleasure, and enjoy having your civil liberties trampled and your right to free expression stifled. Avail yourself of our hospitality in a crowded detention pen, with free stale buns and water when (or if) your hosts get around to it. Partake of an invigorating massage, courtesy of police officers wielding truncheons. The best part – there’s no charge! Except that seems to mean the cops will pick you up, hold you, then let you go without ever following through criminal charges or prosecution, suggesting they had nothing on you in the first place."

I know i said this already, but it is beyond fucking stupid to me that an entire city is shut down with preventative measures to violence and vandalism, the ensuing violence and vandalism, turned into a police state, and just utterly ground to a halt because of some meetings that could be had somewhere far far far away from any major population center.
- Thank-you. The G8 was in Northern Ontario and none of this shit happened.Andrew_D

These riots are fomented by the cops, unions and anarchists. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these people were paid to do this.
