The G20 protests

It also appears that the initial claims of the police that the crowd were throwing bottles is untrue.

It is quite sad. Just some chap walking home, wrong place, wrong time.

Alas, don't be so quick to believe the media. I can't picture a person trying to get home, wanting to cut through a mob fighting with cops first. That person would go around, or take another street.

Witnesses were probably fighting with cops too, so they're biased. 3 sides to every story.

True in most circumstances.

Then there is also video evidence.

I had heard the police had shut off the CCTV cameras in the city.

I would think that they never thought they would be use for evidence against them.

We have protests here all the time. Revolving around supreme court cases, gay rights, etc...Just not huge riot type protests.

G20 is that new gatorade and the powerade 0 are pissed becase they think the G20 is a scam because it still has sugar in it.
This reminds me of the "tastes great" "less filling" brawls
