Officers tell their side of Adam Nobody’s G20 arrest

Three officers involved in the arrest of protester Adam Nobody during the G20 summit last year have publicly defended their actions for the first time, denying any wrongdoing in the high-profile case.

Det. Consts. Luke Watson and Todd Storey revealed their version of events in Ontario Superior Court in April, during proceedings related to another case involving alleged excessive force. In the process, they denied the accusations by Nobody, who suffered a broken cheekbone and nose during his arrest at the G20 summit in June 2010.

“We never kicked him, we never punched him,” Storey testified in late April.

Nobody, a stagehand who legally changed his surname, alleges he was assaulted by police in two separate incidents outside Queen’s Park on June 26, 2010. The first involved riot police who arrested him near the police line; the second allegedly involved Watson and Storey, who then escorted him to a police van.

It is their headline, but then in a paragraph they insert a new line.


The words that I posted are their words.

3. "Crown prosecutor Danielle Scott criticized Nobody, saying he exaggerates and that his testimony

“cannot be believed.”

Criminal charges against Nobody laid after the G20, including an assault on Storey, were dropped in October 2010.

Uh, excuse me? Someone kicked the hell out of that guy - he didn't break his own face. The man is no longer charged with anything, so he's not a defendant. The Crown prosecutor should be acting on his behalf, since he's a crime victim.

Since they dropped the charges, he is considered a law-abiding citizen. Someone fucked him up at the protest and the Crown prosecutor appears to be playing for the cops. What a joke. I don't recognize that city anymore.
