After protest, some fought police
I was not at Sunday’s protest, so bear with me that the only reports I have are from the mainstream media: CBC says that after a peaceful march, a smaller group became more aggressive, with some windows being broken and fires set. There were eleven arrests. TVA solicited vox pops from undefined persons not happy with how this latter part of the protest eventually went. All reports, however, emphasize that the event was a peaceful one till things went sideways later.

It’s pretty standard for all protests to have a small number of troublemakers, agitators, black bloc, or whatever you want to call them. Always interesting to observe which media focus on them, and which don’t, and how that correlates with their editorial slant wrt the topic being protested.
