Two TV cameramen were assaulted in Caledonia on Friday. One required stitches to close a head wound. They say the police did nothing.
An excerpt from the CP story on CTV.ca:
The police were right behind me and I asked for protection,'' said Ken MacKay, a CH-TV camera operator.
"I said, `I'm being assaulted, I need protection, they're trying to steal my camera' and nothing happened.
"(The attackers) wrestled the camera away from me and took it and left me, and they got the tape out.''
Police said they were investigating the assault at the location near Hamilton, where aboriginal protesters took over a building site in February. ...
The camera operators were filming as part of ongoing coverage of the aboriginal occupation, which started in February when Six Nations members took over a housing construction site.
They say they were videotaping an altercation involving an older couple when the aboriginal protesters came running past police to attack them.
Const. Keith Robb confirmed police were investigating the allegations that officers didn't intervene.
