An anarchist group renowned for annual anti-police brutality marches that habitually devolve into riots is organizing a demonstration to coincide with Montreal’s 192nd St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The Collective Opposed to Police Brutality has posted an invitation on its website exhorting followers to join the “Manifestation “La St-Patrak” (a play on the French word for billy club — matraque.) “Come join the St. Patrick’s Day parade!
