Montreal Metro beating video: STM affirms that its officers did nothing wrong.
This morning we covered a video of two STM police officers beating and attempting to arrest a man at Villa Maria station. An eyewitness stated that inspectors confronted the man for bouncing his basketball inside the metro cart.
An eyewitness further alleges that the man in the video was brutally removed from the metro and subsequently beaten. The video has since been shared countless times on Twitter and Facebook, with many angry commenters calling out the STM for brutality and unnecessary violence
The STM denies having done anything wrong, and affirms that the intervention was done according to protocol.
This is the standard response to assholes who think they are above the law and try to fight against officers who are trying to detain them. Good job, officers. Coffee and donuts are on me next time 😉
Standard protocols for Montreal police are regular beatings with telephone books or whatever means deemed necessary. Montreal police are notorious for such and I am personally still affected by such. Time for some culpability!
