About time. We should never feel afraid of those who protect us so the bad apples need to be plucked.

It would seem that there is more than enough blame to go around to all
concerned.
If there were no protest this would not have happened.
You put a large group of people together.
Thet are at counter purposes. Many are there only to incite violence.
And the die is cast. It becomes self fulling.
Everyone gets their desired results

Police struggling to cope with emboldened riot culture in Canada
In Toronto, at the G20 protests in 2010, police went in hard — batons flailing, arrests sweeping — and the outcome was a mess: destroyed property, public havoc and an outcry over police tactics.
Fast-forward to this week in Montreal; street protests over tuition hikes were greeted with a patient police stance. The outcome was a mess: Demonstrations turned increasingly violent, bringing property damage, public havoc and an outcry over police tactics.
