@robinedgar59.bsky.socialNot only does the #SPVM have a long history of tolerating the #PoliceMisconduct of its officers, but so do many #Montreal politicians. . .
#ValPlante & #ProjetMontreal did nothing to prevent #PoliceBrutality against #journalists.
@robinedgar59.bsky.socialFor the "broken record". . .

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialWilson says he was following police directives as they tried to disperse the crowd, but was still pepper-sprayed in the face "point blank for absolutely no reason."
William was probably #PepperSprayed at #PointBlankRange in the face because #SPVM #RiotCops don't like his #photojournalism.
@robinedgar59.bsky.socialI wanted to ask questions about #SPVM #PoliceBrutality targeting #photographers & #journalists etc. after the presentation of its annual report for 2025, but because questions were limited to the content of the report I asked a question about #accountability.

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialIt's not really "shocking" (as in "surprising") in that #abusive #SPVM #RiotCops have been targeting William Wilson & other photographers &or videographers for various forms of #PoliceBrutality for at least 2 years now.
It's to be expected from #MySPVM.
@robinedgar59.bsky.social@robinedgar59.bsky.social@robinedgar59.bsky.social@robinedgar59.bsky.socialI saw that, but I'm speaking specifically of a joint statement by photographers-videographers & #journalists who have actually been subjected to #PoliceBrutality by #SPVM cops while documenting protests.
I've been assaulted twice since March 15th, 2025.
@robinedgar59.bsky.social
@robinedgar59.bsky.socialHow am I a "weirdo" for #BlowingTheWhistle on #SPVM #PoliceBrutality targeting photographers-videographers & journalists?
To say nothing of innocent peaceful protesters. . .
I don't have time to add alt-text to every photo I share here, especially when I often share 4 photos per post.
@robinedgar59.bsky.socialI've been #MakingSomeNoise about #SPVM cops targeting photographers & #journalists for #PepperSpray, assaults & other #PoliceBrutality since the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of the March 2025 #Montreal city council meeting.
#ProjetMontréal refused to do anything to prevent it.
@robinedgar59.bsky.social@robinedgar59.bsky.social"an officer pushed him to the ground. But not before addressing him by name, Wilson says, adding the two had interacted in the past.
"He indicated to me that he was about to whack me with his baton and I flinched. And at that point he kind of chuckled and said, 'Will, you're learning.'"
@robinedgar59.bsky.social"Ce dossier fait l’objet d’un suivi et a été transmis à la Division des normes professionnelles (DNP) pour analyse."
Qui aurait su que le SPVM a une "Division des normes professionnelles"?

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialLa Ligue des droits et libertés, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association & others warned Montréal politicians about the risks of abuse stemming from the bylaw prohibiting "insulting" Montreal city employees.
