"It's really easy to tell who they are..." said my friend, referring to undercover cops near the nude contingent as the parade formed. "Just look over there!" I looked, and he was right. So here, as a public service, and from the safe legal haven of a foreign country, we present a series of photos of the police -- uniformed and ununiformed -- who wasted everyone's time watching, photographing, and eventually arresting 7 gay nudists who just wanted the world to renounce their shame.

The individuals identified with red arrows in these photos were identified on the basis of their participation in the arrest and booking of the Toronto Seven at the end of the parade. There may be others whom we have not identified. Those with arrows and a question mark are almost certainly NOT police; they are people I wondered about in the course of following the actual cops along the parade route. I believe that ALL of the question-mark individuals were taking photos for their own, non-police purposes (although, of course, I can't be sure). I nevertheless identified them in these photos to give you a taste of what it feels like to wonder, suspect, and in general get paranoid about everyone around you.
