Arresting Protesters

Along the lines of the non-lethal crowd control I wrote about the other day, here's some news about how the protesters were treated during the G20 event in Toronto the other week. It probably won't shock you to learn that they were severely mistreated:

Reading story after story after story after story after story about experiences during the G20 protests, one common thread strikes me -- they all include cruel, contemptuous, crude, or incompetent behaviour by the police.

I'm just not sure why people would continue to go to these protests, knowing how brutally they'll be treated.
