1.2 billion dollars, and they still weren't able to keep the black bloc under control. Pretty big embarrassment if you ask me.

Ive been to protests since 1998. Heres how the routine goes:
--- THE PLAN ---
Cops use people who break property as an excuse to beat up, arrest, harass everyone else. Corporate media takes pictures of said broken stuff and makes sensational headlines about why protesters are bad.
--- END OF PLAN ---
When you start from there, its not a failure or embarassement, its the plan. They need part of the people at demos to break stuff, so their repression is justified.
And when theres no people that break stuff, well, you just have to dress cops as protesters:

Theres a history of agent provocateurs in Canada and the US, i never take it for granted that these black bloc protesters are actually protesters.
