Who in their right mind has little kids near a protest? Saw what appeared to be a man wiping a little girl's eyes.

I don't condone violence on any level and I am all for protesting but I would leave the kids with someone I trust and somewhere safe (if that is at all possible).

If I get even an inkling unrest is occurring I would immediately get my daughter to safety (again, if that is at all possible).

Sometimes the protest comes near you. Tourists have been kettled in Montreal just walking out of a restaurant or in a park, held for hours without charges laid. It happened quite often last spring.

Also: you're rather quick to judge the parents, yet say nothing about the police that presumably fired at the child. Nice victim blaming.

Hence the comments at each end of my sentence - if at all possible. Nice quick to judgment yourself there, sport.
