Hey guys,
I followed a large group of protestors through Toronto, and ended up cordoned off at Queen and Spadina. Approximately 200 riot suited police officers surrounded and individually arrested 200 or more people, most of which were just ordinary people caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. This video is the story of the events that led up to our detainment. Everything was filmed with the HMC150.

As always, comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks!
 
That's guys I really appreciate it.
Amoungst the larger group, there was a smaller group who were a part of the Black Bloc (an anarchist cell) which was responsible to a lot of damage the day before. However, they were all dressed in plain clothes which made it impossible for the random civilians and tourists to know what they had wandered into. Most of the people there were not protesting anything, just being a part of something in their neighbourhood. More of a wrong place at the wrong time. Everyone there was detained, questioned and many arrested for the charge of "disturbing the peace".
 
Like that you were able to capture more if the overall tone of the event rather than just the usual soundbite and flashpoint reporting to which we've all grown accustomed. Also like your shot composition.
