Saturday, June 26, 2010. This past weekend downtown Toronto became a police state. A $1.2 billion police state to be exact. On Saturday, the police were restrained and a violent few took it for granted ruining the peaceful efforts of so many more. On Sunday, the police were less forgiving – both the parties involved and unfortunately even innocent bystanders found this out the hard way. Over 800 arrests were made by the conclusion of the weekend. A startling number as only ~150 had been made by Saturday evening!

This concludes my G20 coverage. To quote a friend from facebook: “What, oh what, was the point? Way to go protestors – destroy your own city, tarnish the reputation of Torontonians, and damage the police property that you paid for. That’ll show them.”
