I hope this is of some use to the legal people and the person who was attacked.

I hope this is of some use to the legal people and the person who was attacked.

Just after 8 pm several of us were walking east from the park where the marches had coincided earlier. We were half a block east of de la Couronne and one block south of Charest. I noticed movement and looked up to see three cops tackle a lone protester and hold him face first in the gravel. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures; so did my girlfriend. One of the cops headed east towards the two white vans and handful of police waiting there, but when I approached and took his picture he grabbed my shoulder and pulled my bandanna off my face. I tried to explain that it was a bit difficult to see, and he said if I covered my face I'd wind up "comme les autres". I shrugged and said "well, OK then"; he let me go. As I turned back to the area between the buildings where the other 2 cops were still sitting on the protester, other people came along including a legal observer. The protester was taken away in the vans,and we buggered off.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
