A small rally of about 100 people gathered at Britannia Greenway in the Commercial Drive area. Where speakers spoke of issues relating to the G8-G20 and local issues:

Contrary to the lies of [Vancouver police], simply parroted as usual by the corporate media, it was the police who initiated the minor shoving matches with the small black bloc present and tried to steal banners and flags...Cops repeatedly closed in on the sides of the march, only to be met with chants of “No pigs in the demo” each time, not just from the black bloc, but from most of the demonstrators.

Jail solidarity has been going on all day despite vicious repression. After the first wave was violently dispersed, a second wave arrived at about 11 AM. 20 to 30 people stood outside the prison, chanting "sol sol sol, solidarity" as riot cops assembled across the street.

GovTechGuy writes "Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) has introduced his own cybersecurity legislation with Sen. Orrin Hatch, and he had some harsh words for a competing bill sponsored by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security.

Quickly without warning police lines moved in on the protest. Both heavily armed riot police and undercover agents charged at the people gathered, trampling over some protest participants who sat on the road chanting in unison. Quickly police swung baton blows randomly into the crowd and pushed the solidarity gathering away from the warehouse jail.
