I think it is very possible that the RCMP were directed to stand back, especially in the current climate of police hate and social media
The RCMP would very likely have sat down at a high level, in this case possibly even with federal ministers, due to the jurisdiction and were probably told not to intervene unless things got out of hand, which they have, and now the police are stepping in.
Trudeau is as greasy as they come, well evidenced by his willingness to bold face lie about every weekly scandal he has, him pinning this on the RCMP is par for the course and very much a calculated move based on current police sentiment
To be clear, my opinion is that there should have been action taken much sooner, and that the inaction is not the sole fault of the RCMP, and that sentiment that the RCMP is a broken or ineffectual organization are mostly based on uninformed opinions.
