Hearings will be held to investigate whether three officers from Sûreté du Québec, Quebec’s provincial police force, attempted to incite violence during the Montebello protests.  The three officers, masked and wielding a rock, were outed when their combat boots matched the police officers’ that took them down.  That, and the fact that the officers moved towards police for protection when a union leader confronted the protesters and told them to put down the rock.  No protester would seek police protection from a middle-aged unionist in a suit.
