So, as much as I believe the police were ridiculously heavy-handed in their actions during the G20, I have to flip the big bird to Real News for attempting to make a martyr out of Courtney Winkels, the bubble-blowing girl. In their Youtube vid, they cut from her confrontation with the police officer to her being arrested, blacking out the segment with a caption that reads "moments later". But according to actual reports, "(Winkels) was arrested later for an incident unrelated to the bubbles, and has been charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence."
Nice to see fringe media can operate on a level that's just as sleazy and underhanded as the mainstream.

They also don't mention that she has been arrested twice before at protests and she had the name and phone number of a lawyer written on her arm. She is a professional disturber....and she deserves everything she got. I just hope the police officer who stripped searched her had cold hands.

This was a good discussion to watch. As I expected the G20 public inquiry will continue to be pushed upon our politicians so it I just a matter of time before we get what we want.

Is that so eh? What is exactly illegal about them? Queens Park was the official protest zone. These Cops were there illegally violating our rights as a citizens for a peaceful protest.
