Marie Oakes reported: “Black Bloc protesters at the annual protest in Montreal, Quebec, Canada against police brutality throw trash into the streets.”
As shown in the video below, the protesters can be seen dumping trashcans onto the streets and sidewalk for a brief period of time. It remains unclear where they went or what they did shortly after this video cuts off.
As reported a few days ago, on this particular protest: “Protesters gathered at the Lionel-Groulx metro station Tuesday afternoon to mark International Day Against Police Brutality with a march through city streets.
The event, first organized by the Collectif Opposé à la Brutalité Policière (COBP), got its start in Montreal in 1997.
On its website, the organization describes itself as an autonomous group of people who have been victims of police brutality and others who have witnessed it or are concerned by the issue.
COPB says its goal is not only to denounce abuse of police powers and inform people of their rights but also to support victims for example by providing help to lodge ethics complaints.“
