Stephen LeDrew interviewing Judy Rebrick.
She very clearly demonstrates her support of police violence -as long as it's targeted at people she personally disagrees with. This is anti-solidarity. And it's an insult to anyone who engaged in or supported any kind of direct action at or around the Toronto G20.

Interviewer:
Why didn’t they arrest him?
Judy:
What they could have done is arrest the black block at the beginning before they had a chance to be part of a bigger crowd and that’s what they didn’t do.
Interviewer:
Judy you have to be very very cynical to say that police let them go to justify the expense
Judy:
Yeah. It’s not that I’m cynical, I am critical because I did see an agent provocateur in motebello and I did see police over react in Quebec city but now I’m talking about last night I wasn’t sure what happened but when i looked this morning and I saw eye witness reports and video videos of what happened and I saw a car burning with a line of riot police watching it burn with an individual alone who had obviously been involved in the burning and not arresting him I have to ask some serious questions and I think you should be asking some serious questions
Interviewer:
…that individual was arrested this morning
Judy:
This morning, why wasn’t he arrested yesterday before he did more damage?
Etc.
So the next time there’s a demonstration will you be an advisor to the police and tell them who’s a good protester and who not ?
I’m not going to be an advisor, but they should know what they are doing, the Toronto police know what they’re doing . I don’t know what’s going on all I know is they claim they didn’t know what the blackblock was doing, which I also don’t believe because I know they had informers and then even if they didn’t know I think they are incompetent then they’re either incompetent or they’re up to something
