Expelling Undercovers from Montreal's Demonstration Against Police Brutality
undercovers jump and run at Monday's anti-cop demo
One of the most disheartening aspects of the 2009 March 15th Anti-Police Brutality demonstration in Montreal was the diffuse nature of resistance, so that people would do various things but even when undercover cops were identified in the crowd there was no capacity to eject them, or to unarrest comrades.
That's why the following video circulating on Youtube made me smile. The scene is Monday's demonstration, the 2010 March 15th Anti-Police protest - and what you see are a number of undercover cops identified, and expelled from the demo.
Watch. Learn. Apply.
It was unwise for the entire demo to follow them across the park; it became spread out and it got people off of the streets so it became easy for the pigs to surround/divide. That's why the demo ended so early.
