It started with the Cops on the street, went up to the Police Chief, then the Mayor, then the Premier and on and on. It should never have gone that far.
Like I said, a successive failure of the systems. The real "Emergency" was that there are ton of people in positions of authority with Zero intestinal fortitude.
Until they were allowed to entrench themselves this is a run-of-the-mill protest and you move them along.

I think you’re right, it’s a failure of policing and up the line. But the use of the EMA is still concerning to me. The reality is, there were mechanisms to deal with this all the way along, and they simply didn’t.
But the other thing I wonder is about how the EMA was implemented and what powers they took. For example, did they have to freeze bank accounts?
