État policier aux Olympiques

The police raided the former office of the Anti-Poverty Committee Thursday night, under the pretext of looking for the Olympic flag that was stolen by the Native Warrior Society nearly a month ago.

CTV news article on Olympic security, they talk about G8 summit in Kananaskis 2002 as a successful template (probably because nothing happened in terms of direct action). The RCMP also refer to protesters as 'stakeholders' which is... kinda wierd...
