The Ottawa Police Service has time and again said it needed an additional 1,800 officers in order to quell the Trucker Protest.
Reports say the Trucker Numbers total no more that 150 - and those numbers are the ones provided by the Enlightened Media such as CBC so of course they have to be correct ...certainly not over-stated.
But let's say for argument sake that they do not take into account the trucker kindergarteners and lets give that a guesstimate of 50 for these kiddys. That means the protestors number an even 200.
Now the Ottawa Police Service has on the average day 1,900 officers - add to it the bolstered additional 1,800...that gives the cops a total of 3,700 to deal with a peaceful enemy of but 200 or some 18.5 officers per mischief maker.
No wonder the Media is saying the cops vastly outnumber the demonstrators.
Do you get the feeling that the Ottawa Police Force had all the resources it needed from the very beginning to do the job?
Plus Trudeau promised faithfully that he would not call in the army but we have been told by friends that members of their family in the armed forces have indeed been called into Ottawa.
I am not suggesting that dear Justin would for one minute tell a whopper ...
Plus I heard one breathless account from a media type talking about breaking glass - I pictured some out of control trucker smashing street level windows...but not to be ...it was the police smashing a truck's window to get at the driver.
Brian Lilley in his op ed today said that about 66% of Canadians approve of Trudeau invoking the Emergency Measures but he believes that they are confusing it with Emergency Measures that are often called upon but they of course are implemented to bring emergency help in situations of catastrophe such as flood, fire and tornadoes.
I wouldn't be surprised.
As I See It ...
