Riot Photography

Crowdsourced Photography Becomes Go-To for G20 Riots in Toronto

— June 26, 2010 — World
These crowdsourced G20 Toronto riot photos show that when people get out of control, crowdsourced journalism and photography has become the go-to place for both readers and traditional journalists. This event has seen police cars being torched, shopping malls locked down, Starbucks and other restaurants being vandalized and evacuated and much, much more. It’s as if Toronto has temporarily lost its mind.

Having said that, local media is reporting that much of the violence is being caused by 'black block' rioters who travel to the city specifically to invoke violence amidst the peaceful G20 protests.

Check out the gallery for the latest images of the G20 riots in Toronto and be sure to check out the many ongoing live updates about the event on Twitter.
