Instructing journalists to keep away from the police and threatening them with arrest if they don't.

Given that the target of the police in this case have the Wrong Ideology, many journalists will be not angry but grateful:


Ottawa Police @OttawaPolice

All media who are attending the area, please keep a distance and stay out of police operations for your safety. Anyone found within areas undergoing enforcement may be subject to arrest. There will be a media availability later today at 474 Elgin Street. #ottnews

Boiling point

[Army Air Corps]

Yep. Can’t have any witnesses to the beatdown.

[ConservativeInPA]

Cops showing their true colors. Just following orders.

[stars & stripes forever]

They don’t want anything recorded to document their illegal, dirty deed?

[Gaffer]

The Gestapo wondering whether they’ll fall down on their butts when they try to bash the windows on the trucks.

[hoagy62]

Yep...photos of blood on the snow won’t look very good for Castraux.

[Navy Patriot]

There will be a media availability later today at 474 Elgin Street. #ottnews, please give us time to fabricate and plant "evidence".

[metmom]

IOW, they don’t want any evidence of their illegal and Stasi tactics.

[Artcore]

Note to police departments in the United States, you’d be wise not to squander the goodwill most Americans have for you! You won’t be able to say: “I was just following orders” as a defense. Choose your side wisely.

[fuzzylogic]

sigh...

“you may NOT document the authorities taking liberties away from citizens”. Next people will be ‘disappearing’. I don’t recall these ‘emergency powers’ saying anything about a free-press being suspended.

[TLI]

It will not do them any good.

They will be surrounded by cameras with every step they take.

Tiananmen Square-ish media lockdown???

[Bob434]

Translation

The police are gonna beat the crap out,of the truckers, and a yone filming it will be subjected to the same beatings and have their cameras confiscated

Hey Canadians, you are supporting this kid of tyranny? If not, get down there by the 10’s of 1000’s and stand with the truckers. You all could end the tyranny if you wanted to. As more and more brutal arrests piled up, the world woild become outraged and condemn and sanction Canada for violating rights. All It take for evil to,thrive is for good people to stabd by and do nothing. If not this hill, then what hill will be good enough to defend?

[jimjohn]

Translation: More cameras needed - ASAP

[Oscar in Batangas]

I had hoped (back then) this was a warning, not a statement of philosophy

[Col Frank Slade]

“We don’t want violent tyranny documented”

[Pajamajan]

Effing thug cops don’t want witnesses to their brutality.

[Fido969]

Secret police.

[SMARTY]

Well-isn’t THAT the functional definition of ‘Fascism’???
