The news headlines scream violence as G20 protesters damage and vandalize police cars but there is something fishy here. Yesterday over at Pogge there was a link to a video of the police hassling a guy with a back pack. It is a 10 minute video but it is worth the watch. The upshot is they forcibly remove his back pack, search it, and remove his swim goggles. But the protesters who did the vandalizing yesterday were all wearing black balaclavas.
Does that make any sense at all? They are going to illegally search and seize a pair of swim goggles but they let a bunch of people wearing combat boots and all black clothing to keep their balaclavas? I don't know about you but I've got to ask just who in the hell is in charge?
So WTF government? You want to justify your expenditures on this ridiculous fiasco so you employ a similar tactic to what happened in Montebello, seed the crowd with your own people to incite them into rioting? Then use the excuse "they changed clothes the blend in" to try to provoke a peaceful group of protesters by pushing, shoving, and generally acting like the crowd is already threatening violence. I knew Canada was following the USA in its slippery slope to a police state, I just didn't realize it was already there.
