    I was arrested at a G8 summit while I was helping block the road Putin’s motorcade was about to use, but police had to let me go cause they didn’t have the manpower to process all the protestors.

      I still remember the Toronto g20. Police assigned a park as a free speech zone, surrounded it, put on masks, took off their name tags and went in to beat the shit out of everyone in sight. Men, women, children, the disabled. Hundreds of people tossed into coed massive cells with a shared bucket for a toilet, sexual assaults happened etc. That day Canadian police proved without a doubt that they’re every bit as bad as American cops, and I’ve hated them ever since.
