MONTREAL POLICE PEPPER-SPRAY BAY PATRONS AMID PROTEST

Police are being criticized over a pepper spray incident that occurred during a student demonstration Saturday night. A surveillance video shows riot police spraying patrons of a Montreal bar.
A day after a sometimes violent Montreal protest ended in a series of street fires, police were criticized for pepper-spraying patrons at a nearby bar patio.
Surveillance footage shows several people on the St-Bock Brasserie terrace being sprayed at close range by police in riot gear.
As other customers at the St-Denis Street bar scurry inside, an officer barrels through a tangle of tables and chairs.
Another video from a local TV station shows the officers took action after one was hit by a chair that someone threw. The chair was then flung back toward the patio.
"About one foot from the faces of my clients, police also threw this," said bar owner Martin Guimond, holding up an empty muzzle blast.
"They created panic, they destroyed the terrace and people scrambled inside, throwing themselves over each other. Everyone left without paying."
A waitress told him to call 911, then said, "But wait, it's the police that are doing this," Guimond recounted.
"That's when you realize there's a total breakdown of order."
Police said Sunday that a large object was thrown at officers passing by the bar, and that they are investigating the altercation.
The incident took place steps away from an intersection in the Latin Quarter where protesters lit several bonfires on Saturday night - 21 May 2012.

You forgot the shadow Derivative market which no one talks about, they estimate the shadow market is the same size.

So these Banksters are playing with $1.5 Quadrillion ($1,500,000,000,000,000.00) dollars or about 23 times of the world wide GDP which 7 Billion people work their asses off to produce.

There isn't anything of value that is safe if it's paper or digital.

Exactly moviematcanada... Take the 700 trillion dollar derivative market. This illegal gambling casino caused the 08 financial crisis, payed for by us and is called "weapons of mass financial destruction" by Warren Buffet. What is really stupid is that 700 trillion is approx. 10 x larger than worldwide gdp. Basically, a small group of elite bankers, who produce nothing of value, are gambling with a sum of money 10x larger than what the productive people of the world produce. LOLOL.

What is sad is that massive crimes against humanity have been committed by a small group of elite bankers worldwide. Take goldman sachs 13 billion dollar derivative fraud through aig in 2008 (illegal naked short cds bet with aig against subprime mortgages). Why are people paying for their homes twice? Same in Canada - with Canadian banks taking 114 billion bailout and very little discussion. We need to end the debt slavery and the police need to decide which side they are on.

Sadly it's like that now all over the world, when I grew up police served a purpose to the public, now all they are is cops abusing the public.

One day it has to change or we are going to be screwed.
