I Saw Police Brutality

Steve Paikin is an anchor and senior editor for The Agenda With Steve Paikin on TVO. He tweeted his experiences with the Police on Saturday night, particularly his observations of the treatment of Jesse Rosenfeld, a contributor's to the U.K's Guardian. In his follow-up article for the Ottawa Citizen, Paikin writes:

And we saw twice as many people arrested over a single 24-hour period in Toronto -- more than 900 at last count -- than what took place during the October Crisis in Quebec 40 years ago. And that event is in our history books as the most notorious abuse of civil rights in modern Canadian history.
