Collective Opposed to Police Brutality (C.O.B.P), also known as Collectif Opposé à la Brutalité Policière, is an autonomous group founded in Montreal in 1995. The organization consists of victims, witnesses, representatives of ethnic communities, marginalized youth, small political groups, the homeless, prostitutes, gay, lesbian, and transgender people, youth, drug users, or ordinary citizens who have questions about police authority. == History== The C.O.B.P was formed in 1995 in response to a protest that occurred on August 19, 1995 when Human Life International (HLI) a Catholic pro-life organization made a visit to Montreal. The anti-HLI demonstration was organized by a coalition of nearly 80 organizations and 2500 people. The protest resulted in numerous arrests. It was in fact two of the protestors who were arrested that decided to create the C.O.B.P. C.O.B.P’s committee concentrates its efforts in the Montreal region and the collective’s work includes: informing people of their rights, lending support to victims of police brutality by helping them file complaints in the police ethics system and dealing with wrongful accusations. The collective also denounces the harassment, violence, intimidation, arrests and abuse of power by police. C.O.P.B has a history of particularly rife with police repression due to their hard-line stance against police brutality, as well as their refusal to denounce the varied ways that victims of police violence express their resistance.
