Mc Gill demande l'aide de la police de MTL, la police choke

par Jeromec, vendredi 10 mai 2024, 09:58 (il y a 148 jours) @ Jeromec

Le premier ministre a demandé publiquement à deux reprises au SPVM de démanteler le campement de McGill

Fin de non recevoir
McGill a fait une demande en ce sens, fin de non recevoir...

La police 'Choke'' avec raison à l'idée de démanteler le campement, qui donnerait lieu à des dizaines de milliers de manifestants par la suite...

Et lors de ces si sympahtiques manifestations, la police est pas mal plus préoccupé à SE protéger que de protéger les manifestants et-ou les lieux publiques...

Un groupuscule lors d'une autre manif à réussit à vandaliser une Banque sans se fairer arrêter.... imaginez policer un manif de 50 -100 000 personnes... la police fait tellement pas sa job, que c'Est les organisateurs de la manif qui ont leurs propres agent de sécurité bénévoles pour assurer la sécurité de tout ce beau monde..

Donc petit message à Mc Gill et au PM... AVANT de démanteler un campement innoffensif, pensez donc un peu aux conséquences possible d'une telle intervention...

La police de Montréal est a bout de souffle d'une pandémie qui a pousser à donner des amendes aussi débiles qu'Abusives, d'arrêter du monde inoffensif, des femmes et des personnes âgées avec les menottes et des amendes 1550$ pour avoir marché dans la rue, d'Avoir donner des amendes aux sans abris pour le crime de ne pas voir d'endroits ou se loger la nuit!

Personne ne peut prévoir exactement ce qui peut se passer... mais chose sûre ça serait donner un coup de pied dans un nid de guêpes...

Mais ceci étant dit... ça serait juste assez comique de voir le campement démantelé et que le lendemain il soit encore juste beaucoup plus nombreux et médiatisé à l'international...

En souhaitant une bonne bouteille de (pot) de vin rouge au PM et au député de ''l'opposition'' si on peut appeler ça de même....;0)

McGill University says it has "requested police assistance" about the pro-Palestinian encampment on its lower field.

"We informed participants that this encampment was not authorized and gave them time to gather their belongings and leave the premises," McGill said Tuesday. "However, most have chosen to remain. As we worked through the steps, we also engaged in dialogue with representatives of McGill students."

The university says it failed to reach a resolution with the student demonstrators and "decided to take the final step in our protocol."

The scene did not appear to be tense Tuesday morning while CTV reporters were on the ground.

"If McGill wants to find solutions to divest, they can. They're not wanting to. They're not having a dialogue right now and if they want to, there's always solutions to be had and I'm sure folks here would be more than happy for McGill to start moving on divestment," said one protester.

In an email addressed to the McGill community Tuesday morning, McGill President Deep Saini called the encampment a "difficult and complex situation.

"Having to resort to police authority is a gut-wrenching decision for any university president. It is, by no means, a decision that I take lightly or quickly. In the present circumstances, however, I judged it necessary," he wrote.

Saini said the school requested police assistance late Monday afternoon.

In its statement, McGill went on to say, "the safety and wellbeing of all our students and staff is our paramount concern."

Lawyer Neil Oberman has filed an injunction on behalf of students, arguing that they need a safe place to study during exams. A judge is expected to decide on the injunction Wednesday.

Michelle Hartman, a McGill professor who teaches Arabic literature at the Institute of Islamic Studies, said she's concerned about any possible police involvement.

"Whenever we involve police, it's a concern. I don't see a lot of escalation, I see a peaceful protest full of people. But why should we even think that we have to be peaceful when there is a horrific genocide unfolding? In fact, the main escalation is threatening to call the police on students. Why would we call the police on students? To me, that's really the escalation. It's not a de-escalation to call the cops on your students, is what I'm saying," she said.

This comes after demonstrators started camping out on the school's grounds last weekend to demand the university divest from funds they claim are connected to Israel.

They say they want McGill to divest from Israeli companies it says are "complicit in the occupation of Palestine."

They say they also want the school to cut academic ties with Israeli institutions and denounce Israel's offensive in Gaza that followed the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. The Israeli offensive has led to more than 34,000 Palestinian deaths, according to the local health ministry.

The encampment in Montreal is one of a wave of similar protests across university campuses in the United States linked to the Israel-Hamas war.
