Great article by Judy Rebick. However, I have to take issue with her comment, "It is the police that bear the responsibility for what happened last night." Just like in Vancouver during the Olympics the police allowed the Black Bloc to do their thing and let those actions speak for themselves. Did the rest of the peaceful protesters listen? Absolutely not.

The Black Bloc bears responsibility for what happened. And I don't feel any Canadian, police officer or not, should be asked to put their life on the line to prevent property damage. If they're breaking things and not people, let them have their tantrum out in the open where our press and society can see them for what they are: vandals and thugs. Then arrest them, try them, and let them pay for their actions.
