Cops in this city only get off their asses and do something if certain money is backing them. Money from city hall, an increase in budget to actually do police work? nah fam they ain't doing shit with that money. you can't even get them to respond to an emergency in less than 2 hours if at all.

Money from corporations/companies, special interest groups, etc? yeah they'll get off their asses. Money from the LCBO to be security guards? Money from the banks to act as security for parking lots or branch security? Money from condo developers to be construction security? oh hell yeah they're all over that.

So I'm now curious as to whose paying them "a little extra" to target pro-palestine activists. cause our boys in blue will not act unless their pockets are well padded.

Stephen Harper. He just loves to kiss ass to Israel and he has no love for protesters. He provided the go ahead on the illegal police tactics and detention during the 2011 G20.

I think you mean the 2010 G20 summit. The 2011 summit was in Cannes.
