1/ Let's play compare and contrast:
(Left) The police attacked the victims in lock step with a violent #Nazi.
(Right) The police trumped up as many charges as possible under the direction of far right groups.
Just wait until we get to compare the #media response. #cdnPoli

4/ There is a direct comparison between these incidents. In Calgary, the police stood in lock step with a Nazi and attacked his victims.
In Hamilton, the police stood in lock step with Nazis and laid spurious charges against the counter-protestors.

5/ The evidence disclosure from Hamilton contained quotations from far right blogs and malicious far-right witnesses, who demonstrably lied and provided false #information.
One of the sources which contributed to my own arrest had previously lost a #defamation case against me.

6/ Personal gripe, but it's not beside the point. Time and time again we see the police siding with the far right reflexively. It is a matter of institutional policy. In Hamilton the police stood shoulder to shoulder with the Proud Boys, now a designated #terror group.
7/ Far right personalities claim to give police their 'intel' and even marching orders. Here's, Bryan Trottier tells me he hopes that he drove an LGBT activist to suicide by providing police with the 'ID' of an 'assailant' (all that information was false). cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
8/ Calgary was a bridge too far.
Police sided with a violent Nazi who assaulted a wheelchair-bound man and his wife.
Charges won't go far enough.
Discipline won't go far enough.
There is a double standard. People must demand an immediate #federal #PublicInquiry.

9/ We need an immediate #PublicInquiry, not just in YYC, but nationwide probing ties between Canada's Police Services and the far right.
This is a critical matter of the utmost importance to our #NationalSecurity. And not just because #revolution is inevitable if they don't. ✊

10/ Such an inquiry must, by design, force the #defunding and #dissolution of any police service found to have knowingly employed racists or which shielded racists. Police in this country have Nazi sympathies. This is unconscionable and #Police forces must be #purged of it.
11/ Final ominous note: the far right blogger who defamed me/published #fakenews about the #HamOnt protest, is IN YYC right now, preparing a run for Mayor!
This is how the police behave under @nenshi
How would they behave under a genocide denying fascist?
#publicInquiry Now!
