I went to a protest a few years ago for Kanonhstaton near Caledonia that was held at Queens Park. Though the action that was taken was not violent and not property damage it was known when one of the protestors announced he was going to try add the Unity Flag to the flag at Queens Park it would provoke the police into action.

I thought it was handled very well. After the protestor announced he was going to do this an elder objected and a circle was formed for anyone who wanted to talk. People went around and it was decided after everyone talked that because there were children and out of respect for the people who had organized the demonstration - of whom the particular protestor was not a part of but had been invited by them - that he would wait until the demonstration had finished and anyone wishing to stay in support would wait until those who did not want to participate.

There were a dozen of us left to stand in support and witness what happened,which I am sure everyone can guess.
