The Montreal police used tear gas and batons to disperse a pro-Palestinian protest they say was blocking a busy downtown street Monday afternoon.
Video of the intervention circulating on social media shows officers in riot gear firing tear-gas canisters, as well as shoving and aggressively striking protesters with police batons.
