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

I have already asked #Montreal politicians multiple questions about SPVM #RiotCops assaulting William Wilson & other photographers-videographers & #journalists etc., starting in March 2025, but more people need to put pressure on #politicians to denounce & end #SPVM #PoliceBrutality.
This is just the most recent SPVM #PoliceBrutality targeting #photographers, videographers, & #journalists documenting #protests.
SPVM #RiotCops have been assaulting William Wilson & other #Montreal photographers-videographers for about 2 years now.
I'm not a professional #journalist, but I am something of a "police watchdog".
I noticed an increase in #SPVM #PoliceBrutality targeting photographers & videographers, including William Wilson, in the fall of 2024.
Since then, I've been assaulted by SPVM #RiotCops twice.
ICYMI there was just as much #SPVM #PoliceRepression of peaceful public protests, & #PoliceBrutality towards not only #protesters, but #journalists documenting protests, during the 8 years "l'homme de la shituation" aka #ValériePlante & #ProjetMontréal were in power.
This video from this year's #MayDay Workers' Rights demonstration shows #SPVM riot cops firing a #TearGas grenade at #protesters, then charging at them.
Two of the #RiotCops then assault the person filming that #police "intervention".
