@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.

@cultmtl.com“Montreal’s empty suit of a mayor has just taken away citizens’ constitutionally protected right to free speech.”
A new Montreal bylaw has stripped citizens of their fundamental rights — all while police misconduct goes unchecked.
@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.socialI have asked multiple questions about #SPVM #PoliceBrutality targeting photographers-videographers & #journalists documenting #protests during the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of #Montreal city council meetings since the March 2025 meeting.
#ProjetMontréal refused to condemn it or prevent it.
@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@cultmtl.com“If Montreal’s mayor doesn’t like people insulting the police, maybe cops should stop taking trophies of their arrests, or issuing tickets based solely on a person’s race or skin colour.
“If the police can’t be professionals, then they don’t deserve the people’s respect.”
@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.socialIt depends upon what you mean by "successfully". . .
As far as I am concerned, if I ask a question during the #PublicQuestionsPeriod of a #Montreal city council meeting, & a #politician responds with #TOTALbullshit, I have been quite successful. 😉🤣😇
@foxroxb.bsky.socialUne chose est certaine : peu importe qui siège à la mairie de Montréal, c'est le SPVM qui mène.

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialI've asked multiple questions about #SPVM #RiotCops targeting William Wilson & other photographers-videographers & journalists (including myself) for various forms of violence since the March 2025 #PublicQuestionsPeriod.
ALL #Montréal #politicians are aware of this #PoliceBrutality.
@robinedgar59.bsky.socialThe September #Montreal city council meeting concluded after 11pm last night.
The next opportunity to ask questions about #SPVM #PoliceBrutality during the #PublicQuestionsPeriod will be on October 19th.
I've been #AskingQuestions for over a decade.
@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.
