War Zone In Canada – Police Shooting Explosives At Students’ Heads More...
In a scene resembling a war zone, Montreal police fire explosives, tear gas canisters and other weapons directly at the heads of student protestors.
I'm just back as a medic from the large student strike and anti-police brutality demonstration inMontreal where the cops were shooting exploding tear gas canisters and flash-bang grenades into crowds of people — really irresponsible, criminal and injurious.
We know that protesters in the West Bank and Gaza have been killed and seriously injured after being hit by tear gas canisters and so-called crowd control projectiles — so this alarm is not just about the chemical effects, but also the kinetic trauma cause by the shooting projectile or explosion.
Ironically, he was telling high-school kids not to throw rocks because this was a peaceful demonstration, just before he got injured. The riot police chased a group of people up the street and shot two tear gas explosives into the crowd. These were not flash-bangs because the tear gas was stinging our eyes and I see the cloud.
