We shouldn't be giving this crap any attention..it will just cause more of it to happen.
The people committing these crimes have been brainwashed by social media and their whole life depends on being seen and accepted by the majority of fools.
The sooner we ignore scum like this,the sooner they will fade away into the background until another stupid trend pops up. Let's just hope the next trend is some stupid internet challenge......

From what I've seen,there isn't much value left in this hypocritical police force.

Not the RCMP's responsibility
FTR- Winnipeg has its own police force, and a Woke city council making the decisions.

you would think they could have at least identified the guy standing on top and made an arrest.
Can anyone ID the flag he is holding?

So much hate for the police force on this site.
Repeating the same rhetoric over and over accomplishes nothing. These men and women give their lives to protect and some bash them ever chance they get for taking orders....
Sad.

You call it hate....we call it speaking the truth about what we see. Not all cops are bad,but there sure are alot of bad ones and letting them continue on without saying something is pretty SAD

A thought
Every society in the world has injustices in its past and present.
The strategy of the far left is to exaggerate them so as to cancel our history, destroy our identity, and weaken our institutions.
They will then build their Marxist utopia on the smoking ruins.

Exactly, you either enforce the laws or you don't, selective enforcement of the laws based on political agendas or virtue signaling , is never a good thing. And it usually isn't the officer on the street making the call, it's his superiors, and a police force run by incompetent superiors, or directed by incompetent local authority, becomes incompetent as an organization.

How soon we forget the Rail blockade of 2019. Different laws for different people.

Very true.
Yesterday I took some time to sit alone on the deck. Listening to the sounds of people celebrating in the neighbourhoods around me.
And I thought, "enjoy this, moment, Stinky. Next year's Canada Day may be very different. In fact, our beloved Canada itself could be very different by this time next year."
Making sure I'm giving lots of hugs to my family, and being there for the kids when we have to talk about some hard topics.

I NEVER CARED BEFORE ......
I believe more and more people are starting to feel this way.
I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started shoving it down my throat.
I never cared what color you were, until you started blaming me for your problems.
I never cared about your political affiliation, until you started to condemn me for mine.
I never cared where you were from in this great Country, until you began condemning people based on where they were born and the history that makes them who they are.
I have never cared if you were well off or poor, because I’ve been both . . . until you started calling me names for working hard and bettering myself.
I’ve never cared if your beliefs are different than mine - until you said my beliefs are wrong.
I’ve never cared if you don’t like guns, until you tried to take my guns away.
Now . . . I care. I’ve given all the tolerance I have to give.
This is no longer my problem. It’s your problem. You can still fix it. It’s not too late. But it needs to be soon.
I’m a very patient person. But I’m out of patience. And there are literally Tens of Millions of people just like me ~~
who are sick of all your crap!
I’ve always cared about life, and all lives, but now you try to force the notion on me and my other fellow citizens and patriots that certain lives matter more than others. You protest, riot, attack, burn and loot. Your so-called “movement” has become a radical out-of-control bunch of thugs, criminals and anarchists who are destroying our Country.
We have had enough! Canada is the greatest country on Earth, and if you don’t like Canada ~~ then you can leave.
We are done caring about your misguided “feelings”.
You don’t have the right to enjoy Canadian freedoms if you are trying to take that right away from other Canadians.

Cowessess First Nation Chief Cadmus Delorme on The National last night, when CBC host Ian Hanomansing asked what his message is to Canadians:
"From a First Nation perspective, I love living in Canada. I went to university, I grew up on Cowessess, I have the best job I think I ever wanted, being chief. It's not an easy task. But there is an accidental racism and ignorance in this country when it comes to history. You know, Indigenous people - and I'm speaking from Cowessess perspective - we don't want to live in our current state. We want to be part of the economy. We want to be part of the growth... the social lives.
Sometimes in this country, being Indigenous, it's as if you gotta prove yourself a little more. You're so used seeing maybe, someone asking for change and being Indigenous... you know, there's a story behind every one, of the history that we inherited. So my comment to everybody listening is, from Cowessess, we're not asking for pity. We're asking for understanding. We're asking that you stand beside us, that as we are gaining our control again - as Indigenous people - in our Treaty relationship, that we have better understanding. That our kids going to school understand the impact that residential school made, but also even pre... what great economy Indigenous people had prior to Treaty. This country would be so much more well-off, when Indigenous ideology and understanding is welcomed in, and not just brought in on certain days of the year.
(On the debate over whether to cancel Canada Day)
I would never tell somebody what to and what not to celebrate. You know, in 2021, we all inherited this. Nobody today created residential schools. Nobody today created the Indian Act. Nobody today created the Sixties Scoop. But we all inherited this. And if we want to say we're proud Canadians, then we will accept the beautiful country we have today, and we will accept what we all inherited. And what I would challenge is: Everybody on Canada Day in this country, if you say you're a proud Canadian, read the Truth and Reconciliation 'Calls to Action.' Over 100,000 residential school survivors told their story - including my parents - and they created the Truth and Reconciliation 'Calls to Action.' Bring that into your personal life, your social life, your business life. And read the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls 'Calls to Action.' There's 231 Calls to Action. If we can all own those a little bit in this country, in one generation we would overcome so many challenges today, that our next generation won't inherit this. We will make them more as Dreamers."

City police in our community and I have no complaints.
I do not know the appropriate police response to a crowd of demonstrators., mostly peaceful but loud, with a few bad actors among them. What should be done? What is a few start inciting vandalism?
I'd like to hear expert opinions please.

Good post. Unfortunately, many people are not like you.
I have known a few "gay-bashers" personally and have heard of some who made it physical. I know racists who are prejudiced against people of different colours. The same people condemn others based on where they were born. I know Christians who condemn all other religions and, although I don't know any personally, I have read Muslims who do the same. And so on.
These people have caused the reactions that you rightly say have used up your patience. All Canadians should read the message posted by Crankbait (#23) and take it to heart.

Now this post was refreshing ! Don't have to read too much into what these punks are doing. Vandalizing losers. A good ol'fashion beaten.....perfect.
I get along with most people pretty good but I pity the person that tries to tear down my BIG CANADIAN flag that i will fly for another week
I stand with the Police and Military.
