Looks like u might have a @WindsorPolice problem guys. U inexplicably didnt get it done last night & now someone just sent this video of a Windsor Police officer 2 us. Audio with redacted video is next in the thread. #onpoli #cdnpoli @JustinTrudeau @ctvottawa @fordnation
First off this audio is NOT PG rated & the language is definitely NOT suitable 4 children or people who cant handle swearing. Second EVERYTHING he says about Minneapolis & the #GeorgeFloyd protests r false. I live there & experienced it all. So please read the rest of the thread
So our Governor DID call it a state of emergency in MN (well citywide) during #GeorgeFloyd & we had mandated curfews (1st time i have ever experienced a mandated curfew in my life) & he DID called in the National Guard so exactly NO this police officer doesn't seem have the facts
Hi everyone! I'm going to start a new thread as the day goes on - heres what happened last night until approximately 2:00AM /1
It's definitely a stand off now, with the line of police officers facing what seems like a pretty committed group of people - hearing reports that people have brought there children back to #AmbassadorBridge - there are snipers on roofs /2

Cops seem to giving the protesters a light show now that injunction is in place - still lots of children at the event, and no officers out of vehicle to be seen /1 #cdnpoli #AmbassadorBridge #windsor
It's hard to tell if pick up trucks are leaving or just going in laps around the block /2 #AmbassadorBridge #cdnpoli #Windsor
Honking is swelling in waves - one trucker at the front closest to the cops expressed concern about starting another one - lots of speculation about tear gas, runner bullets, etc. /3 #Police #AmbassadorBridge #windsor #FluTruxKlan
As the rhetoric of police intervention ramps up, it's important to remember that the police used this situation to expand their powers so that, when Indigenous/BLM comes in to protest, they can shut it down immediately /1
The police have successfully pressured the Ford government to begin passing and implementing 'Essential Infrastructure Bills' which work to protect capital, not citizens /2
DoFo said himself that he is going to use the emergency declaration to immediately pass these bills while planning on maintaining them after this situation is resolved, whatever that looks like /3
