OK this is yet another example of ridiculous. An OPP officer tries to negotiate with protesters and diffuse any potential violence while the CBC and the fake news completely misrepresents him. The cop says to the protesters look, I'm on board with you guys BUT just no profanity. Then he goes on to explain how some of the other protesters were being inappropriate and he was trying to get the protesters to be mindful of kids or wives being around or watching video feeds.
He's trying to diffuse the situation and avoid a violent confrontation. Anyone who has policed protests or done security at protests knows when an angry mob starts yelling and swearing, things start to escalate and can turn violent. This noble officer is trying to prevent that by reasoning with the protesters. The CBC and the fake news is trying to misrepresent him and make him sound like a Justin Trudeau hating anti vaxxer. That's not what happened.
If you have a bomb threat and a hostage taking you send in a negotiator. He going to try and diffuse the situation. He listens to the concerns and says I hear you. I agree with your concerns but we have to look at it realistically and see the big picture. Just because the negotiator tries to reason with the hostage taker does not mean he supports taking hostages.
The hostage takers may or may not have some legitimate concerns. Taking hostages is an inappropriate way of expressing those concerns. The fake news doesn't want negotiators to sympathize with protesters and calm them down. The fake news wants the police to be seen as enemies of the protesters and they want them to provoke conflict with the protesters so they can arrest and ban them. We're not stupid. We can see what the fake news is doing here.
