The Real G20 Criminals

Toronto police and their partner police forces during the G20 summit were sometimes overwhelmed and caught flat-footed by the "scope and intensity" of the "sustained, serious, and widespread criminality and public disorder" they faced, an internal force after-action review admits.

Postmedia News obtained an advance copy of the 70-page document, which was posted late Thursday afternoon on the police website.

The report, written by unidentified senior Toronto officers and civilians who reviewed extensive video footage and police files, paints a terrifying, almost minute-by-minute portrait of the modern mob in full throttle.

"Last June, we saw levels of violence we had never seen before in Toronto," Bill Blair, the city's police chief, says in a brief forward. "This report takes a hard look at what happened. Many things we did very well.

"Some things we did not."

Ok. So , what were these people rioting against ? Communists ? Dictators ? Who ? Who is this nefarious G20 that has incurred so much anger ?

The Group of Twenty (G-20) Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors was established in 1999 to bring together systemically important industrialized and developing economies to discuss key issues in the global economy. The inaugural meeting of the G-20 took place in Berlin, on December 15-16, 1999, hosted by German and Canadian finance ministers.


So the g20 are a bunch of elected ministors of democratic governments. And you are protesting against them ... why ?

You don't have a why. I have seen the reports on the way up to the summit , and after. Some organization for the poor wants money. Two idiots who think they're terrorists bombed a bank machine (bank machine , banker , finance minister ...you're destroying private property to protest a governments actions, and you don't even say which actions) in ottawa before the summit.

This riot had nothing to do with banking. It has to do with people trying to steal the stage for their own causes. Any stage. And these things always turn violent.

I give a little blame to Harper for deciding to hold an event with a history of violence in the down town core of any major city. I love the conservatives, but that was a real bone head move.

I give a little more blame to the police for acting under trying circumstances. It seems when the stress is on , we get to see their true colors, and that color is pretty ugly looking, and someone needs to start thinking about fixing that problem up before comments about Canada's police state stop being an exaggeration and start being truthful. Forbidding them to confiscate cameras and recorders would be a good beginning.

But mostly I blame the wacked out anarchists who live to start a riot over anything. The idiots who showed up to protest ...what ? Bankers are evil ? Do you have any specifics ? Or did you just sort of hear that somewhere and decided it sounded good ? Do you even know what you are protesting ? No. You're just stealing someone elses spot light for your own needs.

I blamed the wacko's for this fiasco. Couple of other groups helped , and should be taught not to help, but mostly , I blame the wacko's. Those are the real G20 criminals.
