Quebec's police watchdog is investigating after a 37-year-old man was shot in Gatineau, Que., on Friday following a police chase that ended with a passenger allegedly being held hostage.
Called to explain, the Gatineau Police Service (SPVG) admitted to
intervening Thursday evening, around 11:10 p.m., in a residence on rue Le Baron, after a citizen s complaint. The recommended approach was preventive. The agents asked for their collaboration to put an end to the gathering, but they were rejected, commented Lieutenant Éric Simard.
According to him, the Gatineau police officers initially intended to give a simple notice, but, in the end, they had no other choice but to distribute statements of offense, which, let us remember, are amount to $ 1,546 per person. A man was also taken to the police station.

I remember as a child during the ’50’s learning about communism in school. We were told about children being taught to report their parents for transgressions against the communist doctrine. I remember how unbelievable this was to me. Yet, here we are.
The indoctrination begins in preschool. Parents are convinced that “the State” knows how to raise their children better than parents themselves. Please, parents, do not let your children be indoctrinated. Raise them with YOUR values.
We must take back our children, our families, our communities.
The “police” in this case are doing what they have been taught is best for the greater good – demand obedience to “the state.”
