Vandalism In G20

All citizens of Canada have freedom and are entitled to rights. Canadian citizens can fight for their rights as long as they do it peacefully because violence is not necessary in a protest. Protests are held to express your concern. Canada has one of the greatest law enforcements. The police in our Country/city try to maintain the peace giving 100% to keep our country/city safe and peaceful. These police officers have the rights to protect citizens by any means necessary.

The riot police officers wanted to clear out the area so there would be less chaos. The crowd was not cooperating with the riot police when they tried to clear out the G20 summit protesters. “Police repeatedly moved toward groups of demonstrators to move them back.
