*Lulu Maxwell, 17, Grade 12, Rosedale Heights: Maxwell and a friend were hanging around near Queen and Dufferin Sts. at a convergence centre for protesters on Sunday afternoon when police started making arrests. My friend was blowing bubbles and I was scribbling peace signs on the sidewalk." Within minutes, her friend was grabbed and Lulu was put up against a wall. Her backpack was searched and Lulu says an officer said she could be charged with possession of dangerous weapons "because I had eyewash solution in my backpack." She was taken to the detention centre and almost 12 hours after her arrest was allowed to call her parents. She was released, without charges being laid, at 5 a. m. *Erin Boynton, 24, London, Ont. She was arrested at The Esplanade early Sunday morning after police boxed dozens of protesters in. "I was with a protest marching peacefully down Yonge from Dundas Square," she said. "When the cops came at us, many people scattered and those who were left in front of the (Novotel) got arrested." She said police came from all sides and "squished us in. They didn't give us a warning to leave. just announced that we are arresting all of you." She said a lot of people at the detention centre were innocent bystanders. "The police violated all our rights . . . there was police brutality. Quite frankly, it was quite disgusting." Boynton wasn't charged.
