It's stuff like this where I'm not so quick to excuse law enforcement. They will do what the regime(s) aske them to do without question. Just as the average citizens who became SS officers did for Hitler. I knjow it's a stretch for me to say and compare the 2. But the mindset becomes the same.
That officer in Canada didn't have to arrest that reporter, regardless of what news agency he's from. The arrest and charge of assault is dubious, at best. The officer made an arrest based on his political ideology and that's a DANGEROUS precedent. People should be furious.
if so, at least he had principle!
Im joking, I only say that because I'm reading a book called Ordinary Men which is about police officers just like this guy in Nazi Germany who were given orders to round up and help kill (maybe even kill..still reading so not sure yet) jews and their mentality was they were just following orders, needed their job to take care of their family, etc, etc
I've heard similar mentality by FBI-Law enforcement recently where they didnt want to risk losing their pension by standing up against some of the nonsense like J6
the lesson I think I'm learning is this can be repeated quickly and insidiously when people subtly look the other way and comply out of self preservation (I had to turn in my jew neighbor or they'd come after me). Add in a political motivation and then it catches on like wildfire because nothing is scarier than righteous indignation run amok
