We witnessed two elderly women being attacked by the police at the corner of University and College, during the G20 summit in Toronto. We asked them to explain what happened. This is their story. Surrounded by cops from opposite directions the women found themselves trapped, unable to follow the commands being hurled at them from the police themselves: Move, Move. Move. The assault they experienced after makes no sense. It remains unexplained and unaccounted for. Thankfully, neither of the women were hurt. This makes for a relatively minor act of police brutality that took place around the summit.

Thank you for documenting this. It makes me so mad that these two women were treated like this. I hope the police involved see this and see how horribly they acted and don’t keep living under the incredible misconception that they are working for the common good. I definitely want to see people held accountable for this.
oh come on, this is weak. I hate the g20 and the police as much as the next guy, but this is just reaching.
leave my comment you stupid fuck.
Looks like Stephen Harper is postings as HUGHisGOD. This does not distract from the video.
Clearly those two elderly women were just thugs trying to incite violence and create chaos. Hippies should be thrown into work camps and forced to work endlessly just like the rest of us.
@HUGHisGOD I’m going to refrain from suggesting that you’re a fool, Hugh, but your comment epitomizes that attribute. Your previous comment even more so.
hugh is foo’
If this is a reach and no harm done, may these women or anyone else treat a cop like this?
There is something odd about police in charge of security at an event where violence is expected, not wearing leg protection. They must feel secure in the knowledge that they will not be seriously attacked.
Doesn’t look like they were totally innocent. A little sell-serving. interview and turns out to be no big deal!
Too funny. They were really done by! lol.
LOL The cop clearly tells them to move away from them, they ignore the cop the cops forcefully make them move. The woman with Osteo then wants to go back at the cop and beat him up… Yet another example of a rediculous story.
@jazzbellamedia shut the fuck up
@HUGHisGOD Ah yes, this comment has the intellectual depth and fine tuned perceptivity of your previous comments. You truly are a God, Hugh. Isn’t it cool that there are so many tiny creatures that even borderline personalities can rule over something?
How could some one actually allow this injustice to pass?
Its Canada.. Anyone person’s rights are our rights. If one person has them taken away, we all do.
If we don’t stand up for this now, it will only get worse.
u know all police officers are not good idea on their job like this because they are not smart like high school diplima or GED to get job like this not good idea. I think best for all police officer required BA degree or higher to get job. Good for cops can understanding what people alike and studies of crimeologist.
