@CaptainKirk: I couldn't really say when it comes to permits. While organizing an event on public property I could see requiring a permit, but just choosing to go there to protest, requiring a permit to do that seems like it denies you the right of peaceful assembly. In any case, the public property the peaceful…

@seishino: Dude, you're gonna get sued!

@ulfur: Very, very few of the cops did well in the protest/"riot" situation that weekend. When the actual rioting happened (if you can call maybe a hundred skinny young people in black smashing windows a riot), they were ordered to run away. When the peaceful protest was happening, thousands of riot cops attacked…

@Jackstick: To be fair, he's not suing someone who blew a bubble at him.

@MightyMonk: That weekend, there was no such thing as freedom of speech. There wasn't much freedom of any kind. Let's go over the constitutional rights that were denied (and, for fun, how they were denied): freedom of expression (peaceful protesters arrested), freedom of the press (members of the press, wearing…

@CaptainKirk: I don't doubt that most police officers aren't like this, if only because they can't be. But seeing the actions of the police that weekend, I can tell you that many are, or at least they are when they are given unquestionable and unlimited power to arrest and abuse as many innocent people as possible.

@jchen1: Trust me, there are many people who need to make a public apology (and a whole lot more) for their actions that weekend. What Bubbles did is pretty minor compared to the actions of the Prime Minister, the chief of the Integrated Security Unit, and the Chief of Toronto Police.

@John R. Castle: I'm willing to say it. He should be beaten. A vast number of other cops should be beaten for their actions that weekend.

@johanoh123: I was in Toronto for the G20 as well. Perhaps cops aren't always like that, but just about all of them were just like that that weekend. ...Except when it came to dealing with the actual rioters. When they had the chance to arrest the rioters, they ran. When given the option to arrest peaceful, innocent…

@FritzLaurel: Probably never. In a "democracy", the police are the fist of the government.

@demographic: Hundreds, if not thousands, of cops proved that weekend that they were not fit to be police. Hell, many of them proved they aren't fit to be part of civilized society.

@mricyfire: Yeah... it was a pretty damn fucked up weekend. The Canadian government and their police to one big shit on "justice" and "human rights".

@JavaNut13: Thousands of people were arrested or detained without cause and denied their rights that weekend. He didn't even need to have a bubble hit a cop to be "able" to arrest her.

@916CALLTURK: According to at least one YouTube comment, they already have...

@Ian Dean: Free speech, along with all other legal, human, and constitutional rights, were unofficially and illegally suspended that weekend.

Well I'm definitely taking credit for this story making it on Gawker... Thanks Ryan!!

@MAYBERRY101: Friggin' decimals...

@senterstyle: Following up "leopard" with "snow leopard" makes it seem like they're getting close.

When the hell do we get OS XI?

@Doople: It definitely would be lethal...
