Police violence – November 22, 2024 demonstration against NATO and the genocide in Palestine, in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. During dangerous and brutal dispersal, @spvmpolice officers injured several protesters, at least 4 of whom had to be evacuated by ambulance. Among the injured, one protester was hit in the head and suffered serious injuries to his forehead that required stitches in the emergency room. While the injured protester was in shock and waiting for the ambulance with a group of first responders and protesters who were assisting him, riot police brutally assaulted them to force them to move. In this video filmed by the spokesperson for the Divest for Palestine collective, we see the protesters calmly explaining the situation and the instructions from the paramedics to stay put. He is then seen being violently pushed back by a police officer, who hits him in the hand with a baton, snatching his phone, before throwing him to the ground and breaking it.
