Those G20 protests were tame by international standards.
eg)
# of police cars destroyed by G20 protesters=4
# of police car destroyed by rioting fans when Montreal Canadians defeated Boston Bruins in March 2008=->>>>>>>>>16
So yes, the only time Canadians get uppity is during NHL playoffs.

So that's the standard for how well a protest went; by how many cop cars where torched; meh, oh well.
Thanks.

They are still pretty stupid for protesting for gay and neo-indigenous rights at an economic summit.

I was forced to carry identification as an adult SO UNFAIR MAN.(because there is totally a valid reason not to carry your license. It's like calling a shopkeeper a fascist because he expects you to pay for your Cheetos.)
I was arrested while inciting a crowd to riot POLICE BRUTALITY MAINE.

Being so old, I actually remember seeing this protest on TV when I was in my last year of university. This nice little video shows so-called 'police brutality' hasn't changed much in 13 years.

Pay close attention around 1:21. Canada's own Sergeant Pepper shows you how to clear out a crowd and piss off the media at the same time.

Man I think we should all take turns being rich. And when you break property during a protest the police should just ask you politely to stop another 5 times after which it escalates to a slap on the wrists and a stern scolding.
