Peaceful G20 Demonstration Turns Ugly

I love the wide-open, anarchistic, power-in-the-hands-of-the-people aspect of the Internet.
Case in point: this video of police breaking up a peaceful G20 protest, a protest described like this:
"
My sister and I were participating in a peaceful protest march. Everyone was singing and chanting, but absolutely no violence, and no one wearing bandanas or throwing things."
It's a long video and the interesting action is at the end, which you can skip to, but it's also terrifying in its own quiet way if you watch it all the way through.
