A personal account from Toronto Truth Journalist Emily Bronswell**:

Sunday july 4th 2010, 2:30 PM, College and yonge street, toronto pride parade.

Today at the toronto Pride Parade, I personally witnessed two individuals being randomly searched by a team of 5 or so police officers, some of whom appeared to be of the same team of police seen illegally searching pedestrians in this video taken during the G20  —

Today at the parade, I witnessed the random stop and search of two parade goers. A larger male officer in sunglasses stood watch to the side as another officer searched the woman’s belongings. I also witnessed a female officer standing watch over her male companion who was also being searched…. All three of these 5 officers I saw looked very much like those seen in the video link above…

The woman being searched wore a rainbow bikini top, jean shorts and tall platform boots like the goths wear. Her gentelman friend I did not see so clearly, neither of them had shown any need for this kind of violation — They were simply parade goers.

THE G20 POLICE ARE STILL ENFORCING OUR STREETS

I am quite sure that many of the officers involved in these attrocities are still enforcing our streets on active duty. This must end immediatly.

    The searches performed at the G20 were also illegal. The only area declared a Public Works area was BEHIND THE FENCE. Anyone outside the fence and not attempting to enter who was brutalized, searched, arrested, or even asked for ID was done so illegally, and lied to by police when they cited the Public Works Law.
