Anarchist criminals

Police cruisers were smashed and set on fire and shop windows were smashed by a group of violent protesters dressed in black yesterday in the streets of Toronto. Peaceful, law-abiding protests had dominated throughout Saturday afternoon prior to the commencement of the G20 Summit, but a small minority of Anarchist criminals spoiled it for them and for those who call Toronto home, who literally practiced what they preach and showed absolute contempt for our laws, society and city.

Police clad in riot gear used shields and clubs to stop another small group of demonstrators who wanted to reach the security fence surrounding the city's downtown core, or the perimeter of the G20 Summit site, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Some of these demonstrators hurled bottles at police, who eventually responded with tear gas.

Toronto Mayor David Miller stepped up and spoke out against the violent demonstrators on CP24, saying "This isn't our Toronto and my response is anger. Every Torontonian should be outraged by this."

The protesters in black clothing also smashed windows at police headquarters.
