Honestly this is appalling on a number of levels, these men were confronted by Police when they saw them carrying a Mohawk Warrior Flag and an Iroquois Confederacy Flag. They were not vocalizing anything to draw attention until they were confronted, they were not wearing placards saying anything that could be contribute as Hate Speech. White Veteran that protested that refused to shake hands with Crack Smoking Mayor of Toronto, at the same ceremony, was not escorted out and detained, Vets and citizens that heckled Rob Fords address, yelling out "Shame!" were not arrested... but carry a flag from a First Nation to a memorial, expect to be detained, arrested and your flag confiscated.


Makes one question What Freedoms did Canadian Veterans fight for?

Disturbing the peace is a bullshit charge that is too frequently used to describe the crime of disagreeing with a cop. It's a shame that people are not more outraged at the trivial harassment people face for having unpopular views.

Those cops should be fucking killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.

Hmmm, so harassing natives for no reason?

They must have their wires crossed. That sounds a lot more like Thanksgiving or Columbus day than Veterans day.

Yeah well in Canada they call it "Going too Brown in a no Brown Zone" You should what they do is you if your native and protest a group from Fracking... they send in a tactical team with assault rifles.

Well from a legal preservative in Canada there were a number of violations that occurred, first off the police officer in the video did not identify himself as a police officer, state he was being arrested and for a specific charge.
