The whole situation is

The whole situation is misinterpreted. The police that is mobilized in the downtown core aren't there to stop the people from protesting, but they're there to stop them from getting to the fences. If this was a protest that didn't happen during the G20 then it would've been an issue for the police to be stopping them. Besides, this is Canada, the police behind the shields are really polite and nice, I was at one point biking next them as they were marching.

The police was also around Spadina street because that street leads all the way down to where the lobbyists were all meeting.

Don't forget that what's happening now is not a police state issue, but trying to prevent the protesters from getting to where these people are meeting and from them getting attacked by angry protesters.

Mind you I'd be all with the people if the police was just beating on the protesters for just protesting on an event where the G20 wasn't taking place.
