“Armed police raiding activists’ homes to execute warrants in the early morning is an egregious overreach,” said Irina Ceric, an assistant professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Windsor. “It appears to be an attempt to intimidate and terrorize these activists.”
Yeah, what is the purpose of going at that time and ransacking their home? What public danger did these protestors that put up a poster and threw red paint present? Sure, charge them for committing a crime, even a hate-crime if you need to, but what the police did here is an entirely unnecessary abuse of power.
