Everyone saw what happened when police do nothing and let "protesters" protest.

I think its likely that after those incidents an order was given from on high that it will no longer be tolerated and instead of bending over one way they over reacted the other way. Its not something that should be ignored but its very convienient for people on the sidelines who arent in that line of work to comment from the sidelines.

As per the journalist with no creds. Honestly if you are from a different country to report on news and you havent even bothered to get the right credentials, how is someone from Ontario supposed to know or care who the Guardian is. Its like saying "I am a free lance journalist with the Calgary Sun please let me report on what is going on in India." I am also surprised in a day with video cameras in every cell phone that no video of this or of the crowd was taken. We also havent heard from the cop in question, maybe he recognized the guy from a protest earlier where he was a disturber (not saying he was but we are only getting one side here).

Also, no offence to OTV reporter but who cares if someone gives the peace sign or not.
