G20 Toronto detention center protest at Pape and Eastern

Muzzle blasts.. not tear gas.. Go Police Go! 100%

@CaptainCheq if you looked at the comments before posting your own you'd see that I already said it wasn't tear gas but muzzle blasts. Either way it was completely unnecessary. The protesters were not guilty of anything other then beyond diverting traffic. That's maybe a ticket, not beatings muzzle blasts and prison.

@CaptainCheq only in Canada would the police be able to do that without getting torched, clubbed, and shit kicked. only in a police state could you have such a pro police attitude.

zackg007, I guess I've been naive, I took alot of pics and some videos and I was right there next to riot cops and never even got pushed, but I'm seeing and hearing more and more that shows the other side, I went to these protests to push my rights of free speach and that the G20 was wrong not to fight cops or other portesters...too many people acted like animals, I can't imagine how it felt to not feel safe in your own home by police no less, I'm sorry to hear that

@PICKLESNCREME1 The events in this video were completely unnecessary. None of the violence & vandalism that went on downtown was happening. It was a group of people chanting. The cops escalated the situation drastically. they cleared the area out with the gas, but the protesters were back 2 hours later. It was clear that the police had discussed how to avoid a repeat, & they showed much more restraint. Had they behaved in the morning like in the evening, None of this would have happened

for the record while in the video you hear me shout TEAR GAS we later learned it was something called muzzle gas while it made my eyes water and gave my partner a dry throat it was not as bad as tear gas

[PICKLESNCREME1]

keep in mind just as there were only a few really bad violent protesters there were a few bad incidences of police brutality, unfortunately when one does something bad the rest HAVE to back them up and as a protester who was there, I didn't see one of us (me included) who tried to stop someone throwing, kicking, breaking things...and that one cop telling them to go in and close windows was being kind tear gas is nasty stuff that you don't want floating in your home

[zackg007]

@PICKLESNCREME1 it's true that he claimed be protecting us from the gas, but they were screaming at us to put down our cameras and "close the f**king" door all weekend. Just the previous night when riot cops barricaded all three corners and started to close in they wouldn't let us back in our own house and went nuts when we wouldn't close our door. Im not an Actavist. I just filmed what happened in front of my house

oh wow you live right across from the detention center! i was shook down by 4 bike cops just down the alley on the right of the building across from you

[zackg007]

@fishbowl4202 the crackheads that normally inhabit that ally must have been bummed

[zackg007]

It was pretty messed up

[ChristineCreature]

Wow. The police are clearly the problem like puppets on a string. This is just not right. How dare these cops demand that someone standing on their own property, within their own porch vicinity, on a public residential street in a free city in a free country, that they must put the camera away and go inside. This is not Canada.
