Funny how that works when the police don't do their job.
I'm pretty sure police would prefer that governments resolve issues through negotiations.
Criminalizing protest is never a lasting solution. There is always a backlash, which is what is happening right now.
There is one person responsible for all of this: BC Premier John Horgan, who refused to consult with Wet'suet'en Nation Chiefs, the Aboriginal rights and title holders for Wet'suet'en territory.
Why should police end up being responsible for his failure to take appropriate action?
