Politics: What did G20 protesters get arrested for? Blowing bubbles
- Officer Hardass seems to have missed the point of why he was working the G20 protests in Toronto recently. Note how the officer next to him tried to make cute conversation, but he wasn’t having any of that. About halfway through the video, they showed the officer arresting her. Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow made a good point here: “If the goal of the police at the G20 was to act pissy and escalate minor incidents into major ones in order to assert their authority, mission accomplished. If, on the other hand, their mission was to de-escalate, keep the peace, find rapport, and celebrate the democratic right to protest, this officer is an abject, total failure.” source
