Not going violent, simply enforcing the law of the land, if THEY go violent, then an appropriate amount of force may be used to detain them, and arrest as needed.No, but pretty much any offense not involving actual immediate injury may not be wise to try to enforce in the moment.
Yeah, but if you’re gonna go violent on public order enforcement, you’d better have what you need in place.
Or didn't want to upset the 'oppressed'An event like this would be run by a critical incident commander, who also likely had given specific direction about thresholds for arrest or other enforcement action in order to have a firm grip on what’s happening big picture.
Agreed, but in Canada you guys are pretty much the only ones with guns, so when push comes to shove - the guy with the gun winsI agree that what we saw here was all kinds of wrong. I just don’t think these officers, in this situation, were in a good place to try to take enforcement action given the totality of the situation. There are lots of ways this could have gotten worse from a simple spark like that. I hope that for future protests, police posture is ramped up so that they can act more decisively.
Thought I am not sure if your UoF allow for crowds to be considered a lethal threat as disparity of force. I guess I just have zero tolerance for terrorists and their supporters, and I wouldn't shed a tear if a bunch of them got gunned down.
