From what I've seen, read and heard from others(anecdotes) who have lived or are living in Quebec, the SDQ is not very exemplary of Canadian police or policing tactics.

Well I guess the SQ is like the OPP in Ontario. They are dealing with little municipalities and long roads. They are not as equipped and specialized as the SPVM that's for sure. When they call SQ for backup in Montreal, you can see the difference:

Riiiiiight. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Black Bloc being a bunch of fucktards that turn peaceful protests and demonstrations into an excuse to burn, loot and smash public and private property, while bleeding heart shit-pumps excuse their actions saying they have the right to protest.
What the police need is to be allowed to crack right down on ANYONE covering their face at a protest/demonstration. If that means smacking their little pin-head skulls in to remove them, oh well.

So you are saying then people shouldn't have the right to protest?

Are you suggesting the Black bloc are legitimate protestors? Cuz I thought the right was to peaceful demonstration/protest. Last time I checked, that right didn't include damaging/destroying public and private property.

Zipperfish Zipperfish:

Any other important parts of the Constitution you want to do away with?

To which important part are you referring, the part that says you have the right to cover your face in public? Or the part that says you have the right to damage/destroy other people's stuff cuz yer pissed off at the world?

Zipperfish Zipperfish:

Geez, one little protest and you're just ready to pack up all your freedoms and hand them over to the police.

Really? You consider the G20, the Occupy movement, the London student strike and the current nonsense in Montreal to be "one little protest"? Take a wild guess what all those protests had in common. Then, take a wild guess who was causing the bulk of the problems?

Zipperfish Zipperfish:

It must suck to be that frightened.

Not nearly as much as having to resort to strawmen.
Although I would imagine it would suck for those people that have had their property damaged or destroyed while people like you excuse the behaviour of those that cause the damage by waffling on about rights. All while you manage to argue that anyone that wants to try and prevent that from happening must obviously hate freedom.

You are talking from what you are seeing on the TV and the Internet. I live in Montreal and went downtown some times with friends while there was protests. Not to participate but just to go downtown in bars.

I saw the riot police following the protesters marching in the streets. The riot police in rank blocking streets. People yelling and mostly "having fun". That's mostly that: it's a party for them. To be able to do illegal things in the streets is fun. Policemen just watch them while they are being yelled at and thrown things at. It's a big joke. A lot of drunk people encouraging them. At the end, it's some "hardcore" protesters being arrested.

The thing is that it's redundant and chaotic. It's every night ! Their mascot (who is a philosophy professor) is called "Anarchopanda"...

Meaning that the SQ are a bunch of bottom feeding scum sucking
noone else would hire them arrogant bastards ?


Yup, pretty much fills the bill.


If I remember, the pecking order for anyone in QC wanting to be involved
with the police was as follows:

RCMP
Montreal Police
other municipalities
the Prison system

if no one from that list hired you, then you went to the SQ.

I'm certain there are some very good guys in Quebec policing but the problem getting the best stems from the fact many folks look at the process which requires you to pay for two years of Police College before you can even apply to become the of the lowest paid cops in the country. Many just say F that crap!
