        I don't know who was real and who was trolling on that trucker call but the consensus that the cops were on their side and would help them overthrow democracy was chilling.

        They’re not wrong if/when push came to shove. And it was good - and darkly funny - to see Very Serious white boomer pundits being SHOCKED to discover this fact in the past week or so.

        Although the fact that he lost control of his force partly because they a) don't want to enforce the law against their fellow anti-vaxxers and b) resent his very mild attempts to address systemic racism and wanted to sabotage him should probably also be noted.

        Would it have been any different in any other city? Not defending Sloly, but I can’t see any police force standing up to the truckers. In Vancouver they couldn’t enforce a vaccine mandate on the VPD.

        Never had control. Also POC always pays the price for whatever wrongs are committed by white people. So let it be written …

        It’s pretty clear that the only realistic way to reign this shit in is a comprehensive political purge of state public safety services - that’ll never happen, of course, but this suggests there can be some accountability. Though I’m sure whoever replaces him will be even worse.
