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?
