Est-ce qu'ils vont poursuive RBO pour Bonjour la police, et le passage dans la chanson sur Montréal qui dit "on a une police qui tapoche sur tous les noirs qui ont l'air croche, pis quand les noirs se sont tous sauvés, les policiers se vengent sur les gais"?

I love Montréal and have been living there for more than 15 years, but the SPVM is one huge reason why I sometimes re-evaluate my decision to live there. It looks like they can just do and get whatever they want.

They can pepper spray patrons of restaurants because they saw student protesters taking refuge in there when they tried to illegally kettle them. My co-worker got peppered this way.

Other coworkers are a bit too dark for the SPVM so they often get harassed and picked on by the police.

Most of the SPVM is composed of suburbanites coming to "work in the big city jungle".

I really don't like the SPVM and again, they're one of the biggest reason why I would eventually choose to leave Montréal.

The new mayor is absolutely not helping, but I unfortunately expected that. Even Projet Montréal was doing everything the police told them they had to do.

ACAB, and that includes the fucking SPVM.

Je n'habite pas au Québec mais j'follow l'excellente Celeste Trianon sur Instagram et elle partage tellement d'abus de pouvoir de la SPVM que j'ai même plus de haine pour eux que pour la GRC (qui occupe les fonctions de police municipale dans ma ville).

Être pire que la GRC, faut l'faire...

in my city you hear from workers bemoaning the residency requirements. its like eff that you want to live somewhere else then go work somewhere else.
