Cops on bikes and motorcycles only, it seems. I saw first responders on parameter, no cruisers in sight. #blacklivesmatter

Procession about to meet large gathering at meeting point.
After the two groups met, the front of the procession became the middle of a new, much longer parade. People now gathered at Peel and René Lévesque #blacklivesmatter

I estimate about 60-70 per cent of people wearing masks.
A moment of silence for those killed by brutal police. #montreal demonstrators take a knee. #blacklivesmatter

2.5 hours later, as rain begins to fall, demonstrators are slowly dispersing. Police presence was minimal. No perminant damage in sight. Fists and chants fill the air, demanding justice for victims of police brutality. Thank you for reading, end of thread.
Never mind.
