Collective Opposed to Police Brutality (COBP) is an autonomous collective bringing together people who have been victims, witnesses and/or who are simply concerned about police brutality and other abuses perpetrated by the police. The collective began as a defence committee for those who were arrested after the 1995 demonstration against Human Life International, a far-right group. Faced with extensive repression, "social cleansing" and the ongoing, increasing impunity of the Montreal police, COBP decided to organize itself on a permanent basis to continue the fight against police brutality.
