Comments:Racial riots in the northern part of Montreal after police shoots an 18-year-old

They had all the reason to do so if you are a police man are police woman the use of a gun his only in extreme situation you have all other tools to use before getting down and shooting KIDS AROUND like they were some kind of practice routine its reality its not because its Montreal Nord that cops have to be shooting and after asking questions we are in 2008

Not my own opinion
Oh it's not my own opinion that cops had no reason to shoot. It's what the media said.

Personally, I still think the cops were only using legitimate defense. Though shooting may have been too much. Sorry for the pun, it's not intended, but it was overkill.

I disapprove the riots. Though I do understand that people may be shocked by the shootings the previous day.

Two fires were started basically right in front of my place. I thought on escaping to my cottage for the night, but then the second fire was light, and I deemed it somehow dangerous to go out.

Everything seems back to normal this evening, however there is a thunderstorm, so that might be keeping people inside... Let's hope it remains quiet.

 * "Police said a group of 20 young people surrounded the officers and some members of the group rushed toward them." - CBC.ca
 * Not sure how that is "had no reason to shoot". 3 cops were surrounded by 20 people who were either going to beat them or kill them. If you are mentally impaired enough to physically attack an ARMED cop, you deserve whatever happens to you, death included. Good riddens. The gene pool will be better off without you.
