Between A Rock And A Hard Place

This is quite clearly a series of lies. The ‘extremists’ weren’t the ones challenging the officer, and if someone had given him a rock (unlikely), he could easily have dropped it prior to getting near the police line. Anybody would know that approaching a police line with a rock in hand is asking for a violent police attack. Dave Coles, the union leader who challenged the police agents, said: “I would testify in a court of law that these guys were lying. They were pushing me around. They had rocks. They were trying to incite violence. They were trying to get others to throw rocks at the store. It’s just a fabrication." The man who videotaped the incident said: “Other protesters were saying, 'These guys are cops they're trying to get us to do things we shouldn't be doing.’" He also said he is now concerned for his own safety because of the attention he's received since videotaping the incident, and that "I've never felt so insecure in my own country." Unless the Canadian government is forced hold a full, public investigation of this travesty, they will note that they can make a few alterations to their strategy and get away with it. They will do it again. Thus ends the right to political protest in Canada. http://xymphora.blogspot.com/2007/08/between-rock-and-hard-place.html [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on August 27, 2007]
