The Slippery Slope of Civil and Human Rights at Toronto’s G20 Protests

Every year, representatives from the G20 (top 20 economic countries) get together to discuss issues pertaining to international finance. Every year, people from all political and sociological beliefs get together to protest (most of them peacefully) for their particular cause. Last year, at Toronto’s G20 summit in June 2010, it all went horribly wrong; and for the first time that I can remember, a developed and democratic western country revealed just how easily civil and human rights can be swept away, and police be used to control innocent civilians.

The video below, entitled Under Occupation, provides real and shocking accounts of the events that transpired that week. Watch it.
