you and I both know that come two weeks from now there will be no one at Queens Park demanding an inquiry about this....heck I give it till Monday...then it will fade into the background because people will have moved on.
This is not something that we can just forget and say oh well lets just forget about everything and hopefuly the Police wont behave that way ever again. I doubt our people are that stupid and careless to just forget the whole thing and move on.

people are not going to go protest day in and day out about it....as the days go by the crowds will get smaller and smaller and eventually you will have one poor idiot standing out in the rain with a sign and in shackles. I'm not saying we should forget about this or let it just go but that's what will happen with this type of protest.

Working for the TTC and doing your job? well guess what s you will be arrested and you will be a prisoner for 36 hours.
A TTC fare collector spent a “terrifying” 36 hours in custody after being arrested in uniform on his way to work during Saturday’s G20 summit protests.
Benjamin Elroy Yau, 37, said he was walking along College St. to the Queen’s Park subway station before his 6 p.m. shift when two police officers “tackled” him to the ground and yelled at him to stop resisting arrest.
“I told them I wasn’t resisting arrest, that I was on my way to work. I was in full uniform with TTC shirt, pants, full ID, my employee card, everything,” Yau said on Wednesday. “They said, ‘Really? Well, you’re a prisoner today.’ ”
Moments before, another man had run into him but kept going, Yau said, adding that man was also arrested. There was no protest in sight and not many people in the street, he said.
Berating Yau and swearing at him for being an “embarrassment” to the TTC, officers dragged him half a block in handcuffs and shackles and threw him into a paddy wagon, he said.
After a TTC supervisor arrived to vouch for him, he thought he’d be released but was sent to the Eastern Ave. detention centre instead.
“I was petrified, I was shocked. I was essentially arrested for going to work,” said Yau, who is still traumatized by the experience. “It was just martial law. I had no rights.”
In custody, he went through “sheer terror” as he listened to other prisoners screaming and tried to sleep on a bloodied concrete floor. He was denied a phone call and fed only a “disgusting” cheese sandwich that he used for a pillow, Yau recalled. His hands were cuffed the whole time.
Four charges that included resisting arrest and obstructing justice were dropped before he was released at 2 a.m. on Monday, a day after the start of a week’s vacation, he said.
The booking sergeant told him he was in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” said Yau, who’s worked for the TTC for three years and never been in trouble with the law.
No worries though I'm sure we will forget EVERTHING in a few days.
:rolleyes:

Exactly what I was saying earlier. The majority is there for a good cause, and must work together to rid themselves of these hoods.
In other news... Even Bill Blair and Armand LaBarge participate in police brutality!

the billion dollars on securing "the delegates" ... you work on securing your city because you know the cops cared more about the "south fence" at that time which is exactly what that black-douche-bloc wanted as they destroyed your city...
And i'm not getting all self righteous now after that fact, I was saying that as I watched them bash windows, loot, light fires, push and taunt peaceful protestors...
They pissed of the police, made them look bad, which in turn made them more pissed and riothappy to get after the rest of you who may or may not have been doing it peacefully (lawfully)...

Cuz they were more concerned at that time of the delegates and protestors breaching the fence... whomever and wherever those orders came from, they didn't care about some material things, or damages to property, those were just money and tangible things to them...
Their job was to protect the summit and it's people... don't ask me who negotiated the deal...

Yeah let them destroy the city. As long as the leaders are safe and sound that all that matters. the people.

Does that give them the right to grab and throw people in jail? Making up laws that don’t exist and violating our rights just to protect those leaders? sorry I'm not ok with that.

At that time, sure, that is all that mattered for the most part... they kept an eye on it, it wasn't like the black bloc was grabbing people and snapping necks execution style.

No, doesn't give them the right at all, and you shouldn't be ok with it...
But the point of my intial video WAAAASSSSS. Since the cops were obvisouly busy and apparently not there to protect the city and people frome these retarded morans. Or maybe quite possibly wanted to but were not "allowed", you, the people, the citizens of Toronto should have knocked these s on thier asses, tore them by thier hoods into the middle of the street and kicked them all for doing what they did to your city.
Now, I'm not going to any of these anti-policebrutality protests or rallys, or these bring the mayor down and get rid of the police chief protests. But if I saw anyone taking these s down from breaking people's property, painting on architecture and buildings that has been there for hundreds of years, looting, etc... and that person got in trouble for it, i'd protest that over ANYTHING else during this entire summit.
