Your Crime of Filming

a reflection on filming in Quebec (link goes to video I was shooting when I got shot by the police)

Printing the Bricks
My mind goes back to a time I was taping an indigenous human rights lawyer for Northern Ireland and how she was explaining the police repression in that country. How the police were used as a force of repression for the British Crown. I also remember how are San Francisco Police Commissioner, an leader in the local Irish community, claimed that the police in North America were not like those in Northern Ireland, that our police were here to protect us. I can only look back as those words in a state of dismay as it stands in 100% contradistinction to what the conduct of the Royal Mounted Police Force did in the province of Quebec this last weekend.
Quebec is a beautiful land of gently slopping hills and mountains. It much reminded me of France not only because of it

Thanks for the excellent report-back. It is an interesting and vivid counter-balance to the mainstream media's whitewash of events. Thankyou.
