So from your sample of 1 you are able to extrapolate that most cops are dumb. Math wasn't your best subject in school I assume. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

No But It's shocking that the police dept let him get away with it They refused to investigate The lead investigator was Victor's friend and he closed the case immediately with no investigation calling it a suicide. Bear in mind my father committed suicide and it was an open and shut case but the same police dept did their due diligence and investigated. I heard many cops in the dept hated Victor He's a murderer He finished his career with the Rockville police dept Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The use of "legal" force to quell improperly exercised dissent and keep the economy chugging along is the right and obligation of a gov't. I condemned BLM / antifa for their shenanigans the same as i condemn the Canucks. |

Come on man, you have posted that BLM should be arrested for blocking public roads (I agree), and supported legislation in some States that allows drivers (any random individual, not an agent of the government) to drive through (IE essentially deadly force) to anyone blocking the road for a political protest without a permit. But, now suddenly that there is a protest that you support, you think any force used to clear the roads is unjustified? Do you see the philosophical inconsistency? Or do you just not care? However, in Canada, its even worse than BLM because they are blocking bridges that allow trade between U.S. and Canada, this is massively more damaging to society and the economy than blocking some random highway downtown.... BLM was a nuisance for local businesses, this is a danger to the global economy.... Like there is no comparison. Agreeing with somebody's views is one things, agreeing with a method of spreading their views is totally different, and it seems you only care about the method when you care about the views... By the way, the "force" the Canadians are using the clear the roads is laughably low. In America (in many States anyway) such bridges would be bombarded with CS grenades and armored trucks would roll through.... In Canada they are slowly guiding the "protesters" away and hoping that they can find a tow company willing to show up.... Like I can't even see videos of them using batons or chemical spray on the protester..... The point is, its pretty mild, like too mild for how big of a threat they are to stability.... They seem to be more concerned about their perception than clearing the protest which is the completely wrong attitude.... In one article, the RCMP was bragging about "posting firm Tweets directed at the protesters", its almost satire how mild they are being.... There is zero cause to complain. |

We are not talking about towing trucks. We are talking about asset seizures because someone supports a cause the government does not like. That is just plain tyranny. The President is a fink. |

Towing a truck and seizing it for a reasonable period of time is not tyranny (especially in Canada where they are seemingly giving endless warnings to move before even considering calling for a tow). As for the seizure of financial assets, we don't know enough about it, we keep hearing third hand accounts that are pegged up by people with a political interest. BLM is currently being investigated for their financial management (as they should be, long overdue IMO), and some accounts are being frozen (and some may be seized or at least have fines levied against them). My guess is you support this: https://nypost.com/2022/02/02/black-lives-matter-warned-by-california-ag-over-finances/ Though it is not clear who is to blame (individual donors are not being targeted, but rather the organization and organizers). Again, I am pretty consistent in saying, I don't support actions against small level individual donors in either circumstance, but larger donors and companies that support them is a different story... |

You guys seem to confuse "freedom" with "irresponsibility." Given that your guide is a fat, selfish, felonious clown this is not surprising at all. |
