Labour had peaceful protest march against G8/G20

Ive seen little or no film footage on TV of the hours and hours of peaceful protests. I was there and everything was fine, we have lots of photos that we took of everyone peacefully getting together and having a good time, even despite the rain. Labour groups marched and were loading onto the buses to head back home when we heard about the first police car being attacked.

The cops in riot gear were too close along Queen Street when we marched. There should have been a bit of space between the peaceful Labour marchers and the riot police. I was at the big 1997 March in Hamilton where there were 200,000 protesters ... the riot police were there but not so close to the marchers ...and everything was peaceful.

And I really question why did the police abandon those 4 or 5 vehicles? Did they leave them there knowing they would be vandalized/torched ...to justify turning Toronto into a $1Billion fortress?

PM Harper is an idiot to put the G20 in downtown Toronto. Businesses were closed for days, and now the TV/media is just exploiting the hooliganism that ran through the streets long after the ordinary Labour workers finished their peaceful protest march.
