Police threaten democracy
Why did the police search the marchers against the G-20 in Ottawa last weekend? Why was a reporter hit after identifying himself?
What kind of country is this? When police arrest people “for preventative(sic) purposes” this is wrong. Canadian law does not allow this, nor should it.
The police arrested 55 and charged just 12. The rest they kept in jail and out of the demonstration until the next day.
Why have we sent ships and sailors to support the war against terrorism? To defend democracy? Let’s recall them.They’re needed HERE to defend democracy.
Perhaps they can arrest and convict the police officers who broke the law. What’s the penalty for intimidation and kidnapping?
Or are we tearing up our Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
