Resources continue to be wasted in G20 witch hunt

The Toronto Community Mobilization Network is gravely disappointed with the recent decision by Toronto Police to further waste resources by releasing a Top 10 G20 Most Wanted List at a media circus in downtown Toronto on Wednesday.

After already wasting $1 billion, it seems the Police have even more money to throw at setting up special investigation teams, hosting expensive press conferences and going after a few protestors, all the while failing to investigate the real crimes people face.

Where is the Top 10 list of suspects responsible for the deaths and disappearances of over 500 Indigenous women? Where is the Top 10 list of suspects responsible for Canada’s mining atrocities? Where is the special investigation team for suspects who tortured Afghanis?

The press conference by the Toronto Police happened the day after the Toronto Community Mobilization Network, launched a grassroots people’s investigation in to the police blunders, abuse and violence that took place in late June 2010.  Violence and ‘blunders’ by police officers in different parts of the city at different times was too well organized to be random, it has to have been ordered and coordinated by someone.  This isn't just about a few bad apples,
it's about a calculated armed assault carried out against people that was planned and conspired in secret at the highest levels of government.
