Turdeau is just another BiteMe.

Turdeau, like BiteMe, can easily be replaced.

The threat comes from the people hiding behind them.

True. There need to be some old-fashioned camcorders in the area. The terrorist government thugs will likely use signal jammers.

How very Nazi of them. It’s turned into a Police State.

Yes. Hence, my terms “you people” and “you puppet.”

A critical piece of the passive resistance is documenting the violence. If the police are abusive and no one records it, then they can claim innocence or that the perp provoked the police.

And Ottawa is neither Berlin nor Beijing.

No, but it seems to be moving toward that direction. The question is how far? Its already gone beyond what many people thought was possible or reasonable.

You may disagree but in this world aggression tends to continue until its stopped. Just saying.

We don’t know that those personnel are in fact LE.

Okay Mr. Conspiracy Theory. Laughing my ass off.

If the police are abusive documenting it doesn’t guarantee a thing.

TPTB that will just ignore or rationalize it.

Even after the last two years, you still haven’t figured it out...

They aren’t conspiracy theories anymore.

They’re spoilers.

From what I’ve read the personnel involved are refusing to show ID, badges, they’re all masked.

We don’t know who or what they are.

There’s a lot of that happening in other “democracies” now.

Too much in fact.

Why am I not surprised.

When people in power are challenged this is the kind of thing you can expect.

Remember, those in power want to stay in power, and they want more of it.

LE should think very carefully about the amount of “force” they are willing to use. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The amount of force projected by LE will be returned to them in equal proportion. Once force is projected this entire mess will get out of hand very very quickly. Injure just one child of a trucker, and I would expect that the full fury of hell will be released on LE. Sadly, I’m not optimistic for a good outcome at this point.

Yet, I am old enough to remember the Rodney King videos. BTW, the cops were justified in that instance (in my opinion).

And remember that a large percentage of the population do not trust the government. They are suspicious of the government. Especially right now. Making the video public will just confirm their suspicions and the people running the government don't want this at all.

No, the government doesn't want any bad press. Especially “peacenik” leftists.

They built a new fence around Parliament a couple days ago. It didn’t look too robust, rather flimsy. I suspect it is a prop in what they are planning.

When the police forms their skirmish lines, they might try to force the crowd into the fence. The “proper” media will be there to photograph it and will claim the protesters are trying to breech the fence. Maybe even trying to attack Parliament.

And then the narrative will be a Canadian Insurrection... their own J6.

The elites are well aware of this by now. That makes their willingness to up the level of abuses even greater. Kind of like a cornered animal.

They are also flexing their muscles after enjoying unprecedented power during COVID.

Interesting times ahead for us.

I quite agree. Solzhenitsyn comes to mind and his thoughts about The Terror. What if suddenly Stalin's goons weren't making it back to station alive?

A live streamer ZOT was live streaming the troops they brought in. You will never see what they have brought there to hurt these truckers because his video will be destroyed.

It was as though a major war was being started on some poor peaceful guys and their trucks.

I would bet US behind this overkill as a warning if you oppose Dear Leader Castreau.
