of course the police did bullshit like this. they've been waiting to unleash their wrath on the peaceful protesters since the protests began. what makes the situation worse is the public outcry.. against the tamil protesters.

comments are flying around telling the protesters to "go back where they came from" to be "civilized", and on and on. the racism, colonialism, and imperialism that canadians are hurling at the protesters is beyond disgusting and the people engaging in those kinds of attacks should be ashamed to support a government that has stay silent in regards to this genocide.

human beings are being killed in the crossfire of a political battle, peoples families are being murdered, and canada is just letting it happen.
