A few things: Institutional right-wing beliefs in cops They let the convoy establish itself in multiple places. Much harder to clear out people than to stop them in the first place OPS apparently is useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much easier to prevent the trucks from setting up camp, than it is to remove the camp once it is there. The other police chiefs had the benefit of seeing the tactics that would be used.

CitizenVectron Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Should have also posted the second tweet: Apparently insurance companies also have people going through and collecting information. Most of these people's liability insurance will not respond to the civil suits being launched, as civil protest is not a commercial activity.

Littleronin Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I say have K9 units patrol the area citing officer safety and when the K9 gets a hit (and you know they will) they have reasonable grounds for a search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 While police in Canada operate outside political control, they obviously also indirectly take direction from government.

For some reason his name was floating around as the next potential new leader. Took him long enough to find his balls to do this, but I guess it only matters when they protest closer to his home and disrupt HIS time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the fuckers and let the people of the downtown core finally get back to normal and give the people/businesses a peaceful sleep.

CitizenVectron Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 It appears that some members of the convoy attempted to burn down an apartment building last night, including taping shut the front door to prevent people from escaping.
