TORONTO - Clashes with police broke out Saturday as an estimated 10,000 demonstrators took to the streets of Toronto as part of a massive anti-G20 protest.While most of the protesters were content to sing songs, wave placards and dance, a smaller group, estimated at roughly 100, were doing more serious damage, smashing windows at banks and shops in the downtown, as well as attacking a Global News vehicle.Hundreds of riot-gear-wearing officers watched from a distance for much of the day.Dressed in helmets, gas masks and body armour, they were attempting to block protesters from walking down toward the Toronto Convention Centre, the site of the G20 summit.Two police cars were set ablaze. After flames and smoke had finally stopped streaming from the burnt-out police cars, which had been parked when they were set on fire, officers formed a line four deep to block off a street.
