If I have to have nightmares, so do you. At least it's satirical?
Surveillance footage, played in a loop Sunday on one of Quebec's all-news stations, shows several people sprayed by riot police at close range. Customers are seen scrambling to get inside the bar as a police officer knocks over tables and chairs.
Another video from a local TV station shows the officers took action after one was hit by a flying chair. The chair was then flung back toward the patio.
The bar owner said police went too far and he's considering taking legal action.
People were falling on each running inside to get away from the pepper spray, breaking things, and then people left by the back exit," said Martin Guimond, who runs the Saint Bock brasserie in the city's lively Latin Quarter. His waitress was initially going to call 911 after it happened.
"And then she said, 'But wait, it's the police that are doing this,'" Guimond recalled. "That's when you realize there's a total loss of security."
