Toronto PD Chief Bill Blair Smiles as He Admits Lying to Public
Photos
Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair admitted that he lied to the public about a secret law that prohibited members of the public from approaching the fence which kept the G20 and its delegates sequestered from the real-life city of Toronto.
Though the law was fictional, police were enforcing it, stopping citizens and searching them, as well as demanding ID. This is not actually legal in Canada. What the law extension really covered was areas within the fences erected for the G20, but, when given an inch, Bill Blair took a mile.
Under the guise of "keeping the criminals out", Blair did a great job in weakening his department's relationship with the public.
When asked Tuesday if there actually was a five-metre rule given the ministry's clarification, Chief Bill Blair smiled and said, “No, but I was trying to keep the criminals out.”
Premier Dalton McGuinty still hasn't explained why cabinet passed the regulation change in secret, and then kept it secret.
This is similar to what goes on in London, where police regularly harass photographers over a fictional public photography law.

Is He going to admit his local Officers dressed up as Fake Anarchists and are the ones who actually incited riots, broke windows, damaged property and set fire to the prop car(s) placed there in the middle of the night (in no parking zone...) ?
It was a $1.2 Billion dollar setup. Local cops became criminals. Watch ALL the videos from all sources and you will see cool little Signal Corp green stripes on the bottoms of the heels of BOTH the alleged Anarchists and the Uniformed Police Officers. Note also, the anararchist are all in the same age bracket (30-45 yrs) and have body frames which reveal identical bullet proof vesting underneath the brand new, packaging wrinkled hoodies, pants and shirts... brand new matching sets, showing a very well funded and professional group posing as anarchists. We see them not really getting hit hard by cops and they are butt patted as they move past officers who move on to attack with 2 second warning, all the Real Protesters who knew what was up and sat solidly on the pavement, with their backs to the police who opened fire on them all from behind with large caliber rubberized bullets.
TRUTH sucks, but there is no turning back now. You better get tight with your local police before they are conned into becoming paid agents to commit crimes and violence against your local, peaceful people under color of authority. Treasonous.

police brutality is one of the greatest betrayals of the society towards the people it's supposed to protect. but, i've read through and through and couldn't see anything about any FOREIGN (!) AGENTS anywhere (as the "yahoo shameless group" suggested on facebook recently) i'm very curious to know who these "foreign agents" are. (is it someone representing 'zog' perhaps? ha, ha, ha.) some sources could be nice, otherwise one ends up sounding like some ultra nationalist. thank you.
