5 Feet of Fury

Michael Coren blogs on Toronto riots: cops were useless (must be Saturday…)

This is a classic case of “can’t they all lose” for me. I guess my punk roots are showing, but I may be the only Torontonian who, on various principles, hates the G20 leaders, the protesters AND the police.

Coren writes:

Disgrace. Shame. Obscene.

The police demonstrated in Toronto on Saturday that they are simply incapable of keeping the city safe and unwilling to impose law and order.

Cruisers set on fire, bricks and stones thrown at will, windows smashed, property destroyed.

Why is it that a law-abiding citizen can be stopped on his way to work for fifteen minutes by two or three cops and fined and humiliated because he drove a few miles an hour over some contrived limit or turned left on a empty road that had a cop car hiding but genuine and graphic violence is allowed to occur without challenge?
