The son of a girlfriend is a Montreal police officer. He talked to us and made some concerning remarks.
: Everybody has the right to protest and bringing in these police in such a violent manner is in direct contravention of our Charter of Rights.
: There were a combination of police ... Ottawa, OPP, RCMP. The most violent group was/still is the Quebec SWAT team.
: There was no need and no justified reason for the SWAT team -- and they are only utilized when there is extreme violence by the protestors -- which we all know there was zero violence.
: There was absolutely no reason for bringing the heavy, big trucks. These trucks are only brought in when there is extreme violence. Such as people throwing rocks, breaking windows, molotove cocktails. -- None of this was happening -- all protestors were loving and peaceful.
: There was no reason to bring in the SWAT team for a protest such as the Freedom Convoy. The SWAT have no training in high intervention or crowd control. -- the SWAT are trained to be violent and shoot.
: Tear gas and rubber bullets were used on the Freedom Convoy people -- this was unacceptable and rubber bullets have only been used one other time during a very violent protest.
: There is a Montreal Police Intervention Team that would have been applicable -- they deal with crowd control. Batons are never used by this Intervention Team -- they were used consistently by the SWAT.
The officer is going to do some anonymous digging and see if he can get some answers.
THIS is what we expected in Canada. Who are the thugs with jackbooted thugs beating and gassing reporters and harassing shop owners?
