Who ordered G20 violations

I can't wait for the day we as a public stand up to such brutality from our politicians and police and fight back. If you push someone enough they will fight back. A thousand or five heavily armed police officers won't be able to bully a hundred thousand crowd then they're ****** off.

I look forward to that day as well but based on what I see it will never happen.

Some are better at it than the other.. In any case, where are you gonna bring your A-Team... To some local union protest in a minor town or to a well-planned international event in the biggest city in the country? The officers in Quebec city were obviously the C-team and that's why they got caught red(black?)-handed :cool:

P.S. I'm not saying that every black bloc guy is a cop. I'm saying that they are an astroturf used as a scare tactic to silence peaceful protests.

Well, the black bloc brought their A+ team, the police brought their A, B, & C teams, and for some reason yet again, the protesters brought their D- team.

Hasn't their been a riot at each and every G20? Don't they want to plan for just such an occurrence?

Has anyone answered my original question yet as to what the protest was supposed to be about?

Poverty, globalization, etc.

Also (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_G-20_Toronto_summit_protests):
The first sizable G-20 protest, of about 1000 people, took place on June 24 with First Nations groups and supporters from across Canada demanding respect for treaty rights from the government. Demonstrations moved from Queen's Park to the Toronto Eaton Centre along University Avenue and Queen Street West. Concerns of protesters were Canada's failure to sign the United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the fact that no aboriginal chiefs were invited to the summits.

The bloc had their A+ team due to the leadership from our police services. They got to vandalize to their little hearts' content, while their colleagues stood by and cheered'em on. Then their colleagues opened up a can of whoopass on peaceful protesters. All in all, things couldn't have turned out better for them :cool: It doesn't matter whether the protesters had their A, B, C......Z teams, just because they assembled peacefully without any intention to commit violence, they were already at a huge disadvantage against cordons of guys who had the law, their weaponry, the Prime Minister and their love of violence behind'em. When the leaders of 20 most powerful nations in the world get together, there are many issues that various groups of peaceful protesters will want to protest, including environmental, human rights and poverty. You have to ask the individual groups what they protested.
