Police targeted Quebecers, say protest organizers

[CHIMO]

MONTREAL—Organizers of a large mass of G20 protesters from Montreal say Quebecers were targeted by police.

They also make no apologies for the broken windows and other mayhem that all but overshadowed the meeting of world leaders, describing it as a form of expression.

“For us it’s not violence,” said Mathieu Francoeur, a spokesperson for the Anti-Capitalist Convergence, a group of Montreal social activists and anarchists that organized buses for about 450 to Toronto. “It’s a means of expression and doesn’t compare to the economic and state violence we’re subjected to.”

The “smashing that happened in Toronto,” he explained, was against symbols of capitalism.
