In a rare move for a police chief, OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis says he “disagrees” with a decision by the Napanee Crown Attorney to not bring to trial charges against several First Nations protesters in January’s Idle No More rail blockade near Marysvill

    Not in the public interest to arrest criminals? Wow, is the crown prosecuter native? "Idol no more" get a job and pay taxes. Pull yourselves up and stop waiting for handouts.

    The commissioner told the Sun on Jan. 10 that media reports he or Sarnia Police Chief Phil Nelson disrespected the court order from CN Rail was pure fiction.

    “Some media outlets, and some of the more ravenous reporters, are saying we thumbed our noses at the courts,” Lewis said. “That is not true. In fact, it’s ridiculous.”

    He said police were following the “framework for responding to First Nations protests” with a view to avoid another senseless death like what happened with Dudley George at Ipperwash.

    It worked. No one was hurt.

    At the time, he assured everyone, including in an internal video to his own troops, “These events are still under investigation and charges will be laid where sufficient grounds exist and it will then be up to the courts to decide guilt or innocence and to mete out appropriate penalties.”

    He was good to his word and backed up his officers.

    “This was a significant event, as cross-country passenger and freight rail traffic was totally disrupted for several hours, and cost CN Rail a significant amount of money. The protesters were warned by our officers that they would be charged criminally at the time,” said Lewis.

    “CN sought a court injunction to have the protesters removed, which was granted, and our members negotiated an end to the protest within a few hours, without us having to make arrests at the scene.


    Sounds like everything worked out.

    "CN sought a court injunction to have the protesters removed, which was granted, and our members negotiated an end to the protest within a few hours, without us having to make arrests at the scene."


    They have a court injunction, the negotiated end should be move right now or you are under arrest.

    Unless that injuection said they had a few hours to move after they made a deal with the police. Which I strongly doubt.

    Yep, so George's memory should be guilt-fodder for Whitey so the FN can do whatever the hell they want as a group.
    It's that same idiotic kid-gloves attitude that has allowed people from the Six Nations Reserve to illegally "occupy" parts of Caledonia for far too long now.

    I'm of the firm belief that its time for us to end the handouts (and special privleges/exemptions) and make these people work like the rest of us. sucking at the teet for almost 200 years is long enough.

    More proof of the two tiered justice system in this country.
