THE POLICE ARE OUT OF CONTROL
"We love you truckers"
UPDATE
It now looks like that a former member of Trudeau’s personal security detail, a sniper no less, leaked Trudeau’s itinerary to the “truckers” .
For sure this would have shaken Trudeau and Public Safety Minister Bill Blair hard.
A member of the Praetorian guard, a sniper gone rogue; had gone over to a group whose goal was the overthrow of the Canadian government.
The EMA had little to do with ‘truckers’, who when the day came, were routed easily, and everything to do with a apprehended police insurrection.
Former Mountie denies leaking prime minister's schedule
Daniel Bulford called the allegation, contained in an OPP document, 'categorically false.'

UPDATE
The inquiry into the invocation of the Emergency Measures Act has revealed that the Ottawa Police did indeed take sides in the so called “Truckers” Protest. The EMA was all about bringing rogue cops to heel.
The intelligence assessment, authored by Ottawa Police Sgt. Chris Kiez, describes the convoy as a “spontaneous grassroots protest” and expresses sympathy with the convoy and broader protests opposing COVID-19 public health rules.
“There are increasing numbers of spontaneous protests against regimes globally concerning COVID-19 restrictions,” the Ottawa Police intelligence report states. “The success of global protests on the subject of vaccine mandates, etc. creates a sense of efficacy, a sense that one’s actions actually have an impact.”
The report describes other protests as “repetitive” with the “same players, same chants,” mocking left-wing activists who “glue themselves to something, waiting for the same old supper hour news shows and write-ups in hard-left handbills, blogs and undernourished Twitter feeds.”
“A real protest springs up with something close to spontaneity and with tremendous suddenness enlists hundreds of thousands, even millions,” the Ottawa Police intelligence report concludes.
“The convoy appears to be this sort of protest.”
UPDATE
Trudeau just brought in the Emergency Measures Act for the first time ever. It’s about to get real for the ‘truckers’.
Before I was banned there, I said it a thousand times on Twitter, that the Police everywhere in America and Canada are “out of control”.
Here are two out of control cops in NYC roughing up a guy for demanding that they wear masks. Poor things. As the author asks, “If there is no plausible way to get all officers to wear a small strip of fabric that does quantifiable good for the public, what does that say about the institution as a whole? Who really controls police?”
The police control the police, they are now a “power centre”, who must be consulted, who must be asked, or as the case today, “begged”. I’ve always known this, but it is only now becoming apparent to Canadians who are easily the most credulous and supine polity in the world.
Until recently.
Now, today, here in Ottawa, we see this happening in real time. The ‘truckers’ a misnomer - it’s actually a motley collection of antivaxxers, maniacs, lugans, fools, the mentally ill, and the just plain stupid - are running wild, and the police are taking selfies with them. The ‘truckers’ have publicly thanked them for all the love (unprecedented). The situation is clear. Even Ottawa city councilors, who have spent decades loving on, lavishly funding and worshipping the police, have noticed.
As our dissident Ottawa City councillor says, there are only a few possibilities: that the chief, and the line support the truckers, or maybe just the line, and not a weak, and unliked “progressive” chief who was parachuted in from Toronto after being passed over for chief there. It doesn't matter. Here we are, under occupation by flying monkeys, and the police are doing nothing.
Listen to Pat King a leader in the “trucker” movement say that he got a police escort into Ottawa, and that the police knew that they would stay here “indefinitely”. Former OPS Chief Sloly claims that he was led to believe it would only be “three days”.
Mayor Watson is old and tired and will not say what needs to be said, let alone take action against the police. Is he afraid? Does he not see it?
What do they want? Depends on which monkey you ask. Some seem to think that this is the revolution, and that Trudeau will be hanged by the neck until dead, presumably in “Freedom Square”. The more reasonable ones just want him to “resign”.
Covid has killed millions of people, something that the ‘truckers’ never even noticed. The real damage though has been to our society. Trust in the Ottawa police, and police in general, will never come back. What needs to be done, but what will not be done by the weaklings in power, is a full purge, police will need to be charged, fired, and there needs to be a Federal inquiry. This will not happen. Mayor Watson is terrified of them. The Police board, like police boards everywhere is a rubber stamp group - are also terrified of them. No one wants to get Serpicoed.
It gets worse too. It is clear to me that the antivaxxers (for want of a better term) are very well represented in our military. Hundreds have refused “the jab” as they call it, and will be dismissed. One has even publicly called on his fellow troops to disobey orders.
Yet while officials say Armed Forces members who discredit the Canadian military will be held accountable, it remains unclear just how far the military is willing to go in dealing with such incidents.
Never forget too that a serving Canadian Armed Forces member crashed the gate at Trudeau’s official residence in his TRUCK, and then made his way on foot, with military weapons, toward Trudeau’s residence. He was apprehended, not shot, by POLICE who somehow talked him down. Bizarrely this was never sold to us for what it was, an assassination attempt, oh no, it was just a slightly deranged guy who wanted to “talk”. He was never charged with attempted murder, and wound up with a paltry 6 year sentence for jaywalking or something. We give drunk drivers more time.
We also know that Daniel Bulford, a former RCMP sniper, who used to guard Justin Trudeau; a man he seems to hate, an ex-CSIS analyst, and many former soldiers, are a big part of this. Who doubts that the sniper, and the spy are not sharing secrets on security, and police protocols?
Hurren was a victim of Qanon memes. The ‘truckers’ are victims of Qanon memes. We now know that the Canadian Armed Forces, like the Police, do not like Trudeau, they do not like lockdowns, masks and the like. The situation is dire.
Hurren, who told police he hadn't qualified for emergency aid benefits, was angry about losing his business and his guns. He believed Canada was turning into a communist state.
Hurren also told police at the scene that he wanted to show Trudeau "how angry everyone was about the gun ban and the COVID-19 restrictions" and said the prime minister "is a communist who is above the law and corrupt."
Imagine believing that a genuine member of the elites, a man like Trudeau, who grew up in a golden world of true privilege, who is a neoliberal; is a “communist”. There was no “gun ban” either. But hey!
We blew past the “LOGIC, REASON AND FACTS IN 5 KILOMETERS” truck turnoff a long time ago with these people. Talking about mass formation psychosis is trendy now, but it’s something I have been talking about for a long time. The liberals have “Russiagate”, the ‘truckers’ have Qanon and chips. Both have lost the thread.
Here is an on duty OPP officer truth-telling, “We support you 100%”.
Trucker literally tries to run over counter-protester. Ottawa cop could care less.
Because no one wants to get Serpicoed.
As of February 14th, 05:49, Give Send Go, the Christian website being used to fund the trucker revolution is tango down.
Good article from Jacobin. The ‘truckers’ are not our friends
If they call in the military, will they come? Canadian special forces are part of the protest.
The Police are Still Out of Control - Frank Serpico
I keep hearing talk of “foreign interference”, presumably from “Russia”. We know were the interference is coming from.
”I’m not listening. I can’t hear you!”, is the perfect metaphor for the anti-vaxx, anti-science movement there is.
Tamara Lich, convoy Queen, has been arrested.
As usual Glenn is worried about the animals. This is a threat yes, but it’s also good that Ottawa is thinking about the animals.
By the way, from the Okanagan, which is fairly right wing…https://www.pentictonherald.ca/opinion/article_cbb09eb6-8b96-11ec-93ba-f3f54af119de.html
I still comment regularly on gab.com, home of Christofascists, Trumpers and KKK windbags. I posted the story of the OPP clown using his car as a trucker photo booth…no comments.
None from Fox News, either. Like home schoolers, they want complete control of their own narrative, while bellowing “free speech”.
Any demonstration that I see around Abbotsford here is 99% whitewhiners.
