Hunting People Down

Now that I have one's attention:

“If you are involved in this protest, we will actively look to identify you and follow up with financial sanctions and criminal charges,” Ottawa police tweeted Sunday. A day earlier, interim Police Chief Steve Bell was asked whether police would continue to go after those protesters who had remained in Ottawa, even if they chose to go home at some point.

“The simple answer is yes,” he said, adding the investigation would go on for “months to come.”

 

So say the people who do these things ... : 

Wearing helmets while wielding batons and pepper spray, police smashed truck windows and pushed back against protesters on Feb. 19 as law enforcement continued to close in on the main site of the protest in downtown Ottawa.

 ... to these people:

For the fourth consecutive Saturday, demonstrators protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates and public health restrictions are rallying in downtown Edmonton while a convoy of vehicles cause congestion and a cacophony in the core.

A spokesperson for thousands protesting against sanitary measures vowed they will be back if the government doesn’t accede to their demands.

“We were invited to be passive and I think we have been more than passive; we have been festive,” Bernard (Rambo) Gauthier told an assembled crowd on the National Assembly lawn Sunday afternoon. “We expect the government to return the favour. We will see how they react and we also will react if it doesn’t work. I know that you will all be there.”


I don't think it is hyperbolic to refer to the police as the Gestapo.
