"The police have gotten a lot more aggressive and even more willing to break their own laws in the post-G20 period...and I think that has to do with an 'OK' that was given to them to smash skulls and arrest people randomly...I think that has had a psychological impact on the police force...So my arrest is definitely a question of the police's natural role in keeping the lower working class down and psychologically intimidated. Me standing up to them was reason enough...to get me arrested...But the G20 I think made that kind of police behavior more likely to occur."

-- Farshad Azadian, youth leader with the Esplanade Community Group, arrested on July 23rd after observing police harassment of community youth
