MODERATORS
Here's a reminder that the OPS knew these guys were coming long before they ever did and did absolutely nothing about it. Toronto cops did when they tried it there and what do you know, no city under siege, no overwhelmed cops.
I don't think you're listening to the testimony, reading the transcript, or watching any of the new videos (or reading the articles, really.) The OPS knew they were coming but didn't realize how many locals were going to throw in with the protesters. They assumed that it was going to be just another protest that would evaporate on Monday. They were unprepared for how many people would be there and just how lawless and uncooperative they would be.
The Toronto police reacted the way they did because they saw what happened in Ottawa.
No, I've been paying attention. And I paid very close attention when it was all happening. I think their excuse is bullshit. Too many of their members were inclined to agree with the besiegers and didn't do their job as a result.
Your beliefs do not align with the findings of the commission.
