G20 Arriving at Queens Park Protest

 Late in the afternoon, after the rain stopped, I made it to Queen's Park via power-wheelchair to document the protests which where had started there earlier. Wheelchair Taxi's, Van's refused to pick me up when I mentioned the area. Subway's were being shut down to anyone, one at a time throughout the day, eventually the whole Bloor line and south to Queen Street was closed. 

Upon arrival, Riot Police had herded in Protestors from going south to meet up with other Protestors, and started abducting citizens. During one of their rushes forward, as I turned in my power-wheelchair to move forward, and not too fast or it will break peoples legs, 4 mounted police were right behind me and almost trampled me. Brave men, surrounded my wheelchair and myself to try to protect me at the expense of being hurt themselves. Unfortunately I was unable to get that on video as I was going the other direction. 

Any one who reads this who does have mounted police storming me and others on video, or photo's please contact me.

This day left me having to wheelchair it all the way home, in partial rain.
