Article about the March 30 pro-Palestine protest in Toronto fails to include voices from protesters and organizers

"Though these cases of indiscriminate police brutality are well-documented and widely accessible, CP24 settles for the word “pushing” to describe police actions. This works to conceal and undermine the police brutality protestors have alleged. Please adjust your wording to ensure a precise description of the video evidence."
