"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, above all, to make you see." -- Joseph Conrad (1897)

The Real News Network: G20 Reports of Police Brutality -- "THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO GET INSIDE MY HEAD"; "WE ASKED THEM FOR MERCY...THEY LAUGHED AT US"
The Real News Network
Highly recommended! Clear videos of the abuse this peaceful protestor suffered, of her being hit/slammed/cuffed and thrown into an umarked van with plainclothes police, and testimony of the beating and sexual threats she received from these police officers.
This was reported in mainstream news (CNN/CBC/Toronto Star), now... hear her story in her own words--very inspiring testimong from an intelligent, brave activist:
"THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO GET INSIDE MY HEAD"
Another good description from a (non-protesting) citizen swept up in the police raids--interesting the lessons being taught by the police state to everyday citizens (not to mention activists)

Marco Amador: Yo Soy El Army -- US Military Targets Latinos with Extensive Recruitment Campaign
Yo Soy El Army: US Military Targets Latinos with Extensive Recruitment Campaign
Democracy Now
In addition to the racial profiling encouraged by Arizona’s controversial anti-immigrant law, the Hispanic community in this country is the target of a different kind of profiling, as well: the military’s targeting of Latino recruits. We get a report from independent media activist and community organizer Marco Amador of Producciones Cimarrón and the Center for Community Communications and the Big Noise media collective.
