A Spokesman for Aboriginal protesters in Brantford says ''it's going to be Caledonia Part 2''. Police arrested a protester near a construction site yesterday where aboriginals have been demonstrating against Kingspan Insulation, who are building a new headquarters and warehouse.Police say he punched the officer in the face while being arrested. As soon as that happened the rest of the protestors became angry and started moving towards officers. At that point another officer was hit by one of the protestors who got away and is now being sought for assault. Police are continuing to monitor the situation and have since closed the site.
