Zombies and Sasquatch.
A group of seven protesters from Hamilton, Ont. are suing Toronto police for $1.4 million, claiming they were unfairly profiled, arrested and mistreated during the G20 summit.
Charney said Toronto police unfairly profiled his clients, and arrested them because they appeared to be protesters based on their clothing and physical features, which included women with hairy legs.
That profile included markers such as people who have backpacks, lawyers numbers on their arms, people with Quebec licence plates, people speaking French, people wearing black clothing.
