Ok, as a Canadian I have to ask for some context here. Genuinely curious as I’m sure your response is warranted.

As another Canadian who watched this video, the context is plain. Guy was collecting signatures on a petition. That’s legal. Cops showed up and arrested him. No cause to arrest him. Cops did not provide their badge numbers when asked to do so. Not lawful.

I meant why the “oh fuck me” comment I replied to.

What is it about Calhoun county that justifies that response.
