Submitted by margaret on Thu, 06/18/2009 - 14:19.The Black Coalition of Quebec deplores the events at Park Carignan the night of June 16, 2009 in Montreal-North between young people and the police which degenerated into a mini riot.
We must also discuss the serious socio-economic problems of this district and many other areas in Montreal. These problems are responsible for the events being experienced there and equally the lack of mutual respect between the police and the community.

In effect, the CSST identifies many weaknesses in the practices and administration of the police: “faulty planning, confusion by authorities, bad evaluation in risk taking”.
