Montreal police said in a statement that the security of citizens, police officers and demonstrators was compromised that night. They would not share details about their crowd control techniques, citing "strategic reasons" and "ongoing investigations."

"Strategic decisions were made taking into account public safety issues, particularly due to the presence of thousands of people in Place Émilie-Gamelin and Ste-Catherine Street as part of the Pride festivities," the statement from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) said.

"Strategic" my ass. The truth is that this is just another example of cop's overreach.

And as always, ACAB.
