The incorporated band council chief, James Gabriel, had his own Indian Affairs goons patrolling the community.

They were charged with confining the cops. Someone burnt down Gabriel\u2019s empty house. Everything got settled. Some men were jailed. The women were acquitted. Now CROWN Prosecutor Francois Briere, the career Mohawk hater, appealed the acquittal of the spectators. He said these women were associated with the men he falsely convicted. So they are guilty by association and wants to convict them!<\/p>\n<p>The May 3, 2004, video shows Jimmy&#8217;s Indian Affairs goons and the Quebec police of Oka waiting for orders at the west end. They were staring at the camo-clad and masked kanehsatake men, who were staring back at them. The goons were suppose to stir up trouble and film it through the back window of their pickup truck.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly a cop with a stun gun jumps into the back of the pickup truck. Before he could aim, our men pounded him with a hail of rocks and raced forward to disarm him. One rock crashed through the back window of the truck, which took off. Filming continued through the broken back window.<\/p>\n<p>The chase began. An undercover car scooted out of the way. Traffic in the opposite direction maneuvered past. Our guys\u2019 trucks moved behind the cops at a regular speed. Suddenly the cops braked and got slammed from behind. The big dump truck didn\u2019t stop because vehicles were behind it. The cop radio messaged, \u201cThe big 5 ton truck is coming after us\u201d. They kept going until they hit the next town, St. Placide. No charges were laid because no one knows who was driving.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/truck.jpg\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4651\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/truck.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4651\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4651\" src=\"https:\/\/mohawknationnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/truck-300x245.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Hey, SQ.
