    Defund the police.

    They don’t prevent crime. They don’t find your stolen car, they don’t protect you from assault or murder, they don’t investigate the criminal practices of politicians and corporations.

    They lie, the threaten, they steal and they assault ‘the little people’ because that is, and has always been, their function.

    Neve served as Commissioner of the Ottawa People’s Commission, a “grassroots effort to promote healing and justice after the convoy occupation of Ottawa-Gatineau in 2022.” The OPC held hearings where community members were able to share their experiences of the convoy occupation.

    “It is in fact remarkable, and perhaps even unprecedented, the extent to which convoy participants were given near free rein to be where they wished and act as they wanted; very different from the experience of protesters in many other demonstrations in Ottawa and other parts of the country,” the Ottawa People’s Commission report noted.

      The fact of the matter is when the Ferry Creek protests were going on in one of the last sections of old growth forest in BC, the RCMP used mace, tear gas, swat helicopters, etc but the covid convoy came to Victoria they had free reign over downtown.

      Apparently, civil disobedience is only allowed when it’s annoying in the downtown area, not if it’s actually preventing corporate profits.

    oh the cop he went wild over me

    And he held his gun where everyone could see

    He was breathing rather hard

    When he saw my union card

    He went wild, simply wild over me
