Meh, I personally liked the Strokes first album more than the Arcade Fire one, but I loved both. The Arcade Fire was more intense and instantly likeable, but wore off while to me the Strokes one had more longevity. I definitely liked the second Strokes album more than the second Arcade Fire...

Does anyone else think that their first album was the best one? And the other ones are so-so and relying on the success of the first one?

Get back to the main topic. There's a long discussion in the G20 thread if you want to give your views specifically on that event.

No, you come on. The objective was definitely of insufficient importance to expel civil rights. The city wasn't being burned down, windows of some, not many stores were broken. Vandals could have been caught in the act. It doesn't pass the second step either, so it doesn't pass the test...

My prior post was basically a statement on the test. All arrests of innocent protesters, bystanders and media do not pass the test. The vandalism was done outside of the secure zone, it does not give the police carte blanche to arrest everybody. It actually doesn't pass the first test of a...

Objective is not a good reason, anything can be an objective... Release from custody is a remedy? lmao... The situation was not dire enough to expel civil liberties. That is the main question and it's an easy answer. No, smashing windows of some buildings is not dire enough to expel civil...

D.C. agrees to $13.7 million settlement in 2000 mass arrest By Maria Glod Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, July 1, 2010; B04 A federal judge gave final approval Wednesday to a $13.7 million settlement between the District and people who were picked up in a mass arrest during a 2000...

The SIU is a civilian agency. And you're wrong... first of all you're confusing criminal law with law. If these situations are bad enough, they will warrant a conviction in court. If the misconduct warrants criminal law and it involves the non-wearing of a name tag, then any punishment laid...

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/834461 Let me break it down for you since you're not willing to do any fact checking. The Toronto Police is overseen by respective civilian law enforcement agencies. Any Toronto Police misconduct is investigated by these civilian law enforcement...

Right, you completely changed what he said. I think the main problem is all the peaceful people being arrested, which you don't seem to mention. Many people shouldn't have been arrested in the first place. There are allegations of harsh treatment beyond what is allowed. You can change...

You and Riverdale Rink Rat use the dictionary, it is against the law and a statute. I was being more specific as to how it was a law and statute. You're incredibly ignorant for pushing things you don't even understand. Use google and check for yourself, read a little perhaps?

Okay, it's against the Toronto Police rules. It's mandatory issued by the civilian board, and possibly punishable via misconduct. Who knows, maybe they don't actually care if their officers wear the name tags or not. really? Any indication from any source that it could've been optional?

Are you trying to be funny and sarcastic or serious? Chief Blair advocates it and it's against the law.

This post is just rife with a lack of rationality, filled with nothing but misinformation, exaggerations, assumptions and wrong stereotypes. It's hilarious that something like this could get any bit of credibility.

I'm a conspiracy theorist? No, you're just a complete idiot. :)

This is a great quote, which someone here uses as a sig: He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Right, let's take away the transparency. Y'know, the same main criticism that Iran is taking for its handling of protests. We can give the police all the powers without having to answer for anything. You're really telling it like it is without bias... NOT. That's an awful summary. I...

Right, I agree with that. There's definite possibility in Iran's criticism, it doesn't mean that Iran's intentions are well-meaning, they're probably not trying to help Canada in any sincere way, regardless if it's true or not.

What does being constructive have to do with anything? And what are these awful analogies?
