I need a drink.

Legit right after I posted this, the police violence that comes with gaps erupted.

I think I made an organizer cry today, but Jesus fucking Christ POLICE ARE NOT THERE TO PROTECT PEOPLE.

Police violence IS ALWAYS THE FAULT OF THE POLICE. But we don't have to give them the fucking opportunity to do what we KNOW they want to do.

Sorry for the fucking vaguetooting.

Also: I guess the "fuck Trudeau dance party" has rebranded.

We seem to be capped at 6.

Not going to lie, somewhat underwhelmed by the theme of "Birthday Party for the Charter of Rights", but it definitely brought out the media.

I would love to know what judge signed off on a no knock warrant for this shit.

The first judge correctly deemed it and overreach, so the cops went judge shopping for one who would sign off.

The last of the 11 people charged with defacing a downtown Indigo store have been sentenced to conditional discharges with 12 months probation and conditions involving community service.

The decision differed from the absolute discharge earlier granted to two of their co-accused who pleaded guilty. But in both cases, there is no record of the conviction.

In a letter filed in support of Scott and Schussler ahead of the sentencing, representatives of five Jewish organizations — including the Jewish Faculty Network Steering Committee and ifNotNow Toronto — decried the “heavy-handed police investigation” against the pair, saying it “fits into a broader pattern of the suppression of legitimate political activism for Palestinian human rights under the guise of dubious antisemitism allegations.”

I also gather that the nonsense in the second screenshot resulted in no shenanigans outside the courthouse.

...and because it's on the other side of Yonge Street, it's 51 division at this protest.

If you are coming down, heads-up this is what you're walking into.
