That's what started the blockade!
The OPP tried to remove the group who was occupying the site, and that obviously didn't work and resulted in the blockade.

Unless the police were prepared to go in with riot gear, there isn't much they could do "when it was all going down". They may have been able to grab a few protesters, but then any future credibility would have been shot and the standoff would have lasted even longer.

Unless you are condoning violent action taken against the protesters. You aren't, are you?
