There are pictures of people sitting down getting shoved back.

Dr. Dawg: Police have already lied, they have their way of looking at protests, citizens have theirs. If I’m understanding correctly, summit organizers were not happy the Council of Canadians chose to go to the perimiter fence with the petitions instead of just handing them over, I dont’ have the source for that…

Sherm, I honestly don’t know, given inter-agency p***ing contests there would be the usual tension, rivalry and territorialism police groups engage in.

I shouldn’t laugh, but the fact they were exposed and were so inept is funny.

What bothers me is that they did appear to try to incite violence by carrying rocks. The protesters were middle-aged, middle-class boomers - they picked the wrong crowd. With only four arrests during the summit, the ‘violence’ that was expected just wasn’t that violent.

Furthermore - is the Quebec force taking the heat for someone higher up?

Hurray for YouTube - it is changing democracy.

According to David Akin, in his CTV report Wednesday, yes it did take place in the Green Zone. He made a specific point about that to the anchormodel.

I think that could mean something, don’t you think, about intentions, etc?

.

Here’s what’s unclear to me. They were deep in the Green Zone at the time, some distance from the hotel. What rock-throwing was taking place in the vicinity? And if they were there to ensure non-violence, as is now being claimed. why didn’t they arrest the kids throwing the rocks, if throw the rocks they did? Instead they ran away. Does this seem likely?

Or some such thing.:^)

Or some such thing.
