• [OT] Our police at rest

    From Rhino@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 22 19:52:10 2025
    This short video shows a pro-Palestine march that happened in Toronto a
    couple of days ago. It started at Yonge and Dundas, arguably the very
    heart of downtown at 7:30 PM, which must still be rush hour given how
    rush "hour" has been several hours in the morning and in the afternoon
    for many years now. A bystander tries to persuade the demonstrators to
    move over to the sidewalk so that emergency vehicles can get down the
    streets as well as ordinary commuters. The protesters decline to
    cooperate. The police are right there - and do NOTHING.

    The whole area is held hostage to these lunatics and people could
    literally die if they need a cop, fire truck or paramedic because it
    can't get down the road.

    This is Toronto, Ontario, Canada in the year 2025.

    If the Conservatives don't win this election, we'll be stuck with more
    years of this nonsense. Heck, even if they win, we might be stuck with
    it since Ontario premier Doug Ford is often alleged to be more Liberal
    than conservative and Toronto mayor Olivia Chow is definitely from the
    left side of the political spectrum. But at least the rest of the
    country will have a chance to restore sanity if the Conservatives form
    the government.

    Same thing happens here whenever the illegal aliens decide to flood onto the freeways and shutdown the evening commute. The mayor refuses to let the cops intervene and put a stop to it. It'd be nice if the CHP or the sheriff's department would take up the slack since the mayor has no authority over them but I imagine their bosses all share the same collectivist agenda, too.

    How much more of this horseshit has to happen before people finally
    start voting sanely again?
