Police violence? Recently, at the APEC summit in Vancouver, B.C., there
was some controversy over the police use of pepper spray on protestors who
were peacefully, and legally, exercising their rights (ie, though the most
concern involved the apparent role of the federal gov't in requesting, um,
aggressive measures be taken to avoid embarrassing those attendees who may
have been most sensitive to criticism of their record re: human rights).
Tsk tsk, in Canada, for goodness sake; shame. I am certain there is far
more abuse in this country, too, than we ever hear about. I note that
checking News for December on www.amnesty.org makes no mention of this
incident, at all. However, it was a major item on both the BCTV News as
well as the National News in Canada.
