2601...More G20 Fun

While the hijinks ever end?

From the desk of my friend MO:

Amputee G20 protester says police told him to hop while being detained

TORONTO — A 57-year-old amputee says he was told to “hop” after his prosthetic leg was ripped off by a police officer during a G20 protest. John Pruyn of Thorold, Ont., was protesting near the Ontario legislature on June 26 when police in riot gear tried to clear the area.

The above-the-knee amputee says he was “kicked and punched” by officers and detained for more than a day while sitting in a wheelchair with his hands bound. When he asked for his leg, Pruyn says he was told it was a weapon. Around 900 people were arrested over the G20 weekend after vandals ran wild through the streets of Toronto. More than 700 people were released without charge.


A hip hop Zorro is what the po po were afraid of.
