[Thensolomonsaid]

This is just the start of the police state.People will get tired of hearing these stories so the police brutality will just get worst.

@0623kaboom lol yeah :-)

@1981z28camaro It's more fun when they turn on their lights to run a light to get to Tim Horton's on the other side of the intersection BEFORE it closes.

@MeticeGuy People could VOTE a responsible government in ... If we could find one.

@v7399551 That's part of the uproar .. The people that caused the problems DIDNT get arrested because the cops were told NOT to ... If I read news report correctly. The ones that werent causing major troubles had their civil liberties and Charter rights stomped on. The crooks got away with it while John Q public was trying to make his voice heard to affect change.

@v7399551 When Ottawa had the G20 followed by he G8 we had our troubles but we also had areas that the NON violent protesters kept non violent by crowding out those who were starting to become aggressive. Yes we had some destruction of property BUT hey the loss of McD's made property values rise in the neighbour hood. Basically the peacufull ones need to ensure their right by keeping the agitators out, controlled or ineffective.

@NoorAlHaqiqa in the past FEW years ... go way back to 1957 ... we lost our pride when the Avro Aero was shut down. It was cheaper to finish it than close it ...All this has done is beat the masses down more.

@TokyoMetal777 just one more thing that wouldnt work any better or faster here ;)

[0623kaboom]

@boujeep1 Think, Airborne Rangers .. as a police force ... not a smart choice as history has shown. .. The last time it cost us a lot of good men and a few bad ones .. this time how many citizens would it cost and at what price to the military afterwards. Better to spend money to PROPERLY train the cops and educate them on abuse of powers.

@johnrob1977 in the 60's people would put flowers in the barrels of guns .. IN this millennium this person chose to blow KIDS bubbles towards the police .. non violent, true, not the wisest choice though. As for the arrest it was stated in another video released here that people with Bandanna's, back packs and phone numbers were inciting riots during the Summit. The preventative action the Cops took almost incited the riot they were trying to avoid. Lapse of Common Sense all round.

@soliscjw I prefer to think of an adult as a person willing to take responsibility for their actions and suffer the consequences when those actions are bad.. Dont care how old or young they are Just that they are mature enough to be responsible for what they say and do. I have seen 50 year old babies and 10 year old's who seem 40 in their maturity level.
