Montebello: SQ cops should be investigated

I didn’t expect to follow up so soon on my post about agents provocateurs. In a press release, Sûreté du Québec admits they had undercover cops at the Montebello demonstration. (See CBC coverage)

Ces derniers avaient le mandat de repérer et d’identifier les manifestants non pacifiques pour ainsi éviter les débordements. Les policiers ont été repérés par les manifestants au moment où ils ont refusé de lancer des projectiles.

In English: the cops were there to identify trouble-makers and avoid violence, and had their cover blown when they refused to throw their stones.

Could have fooled me.

One thing is certain: they are terrible at either infiltration and provocation. At best they are incompetent, at worst they are criminal.

This deserves a thorough investigation.
