Gigi 🍄🟫<p>5/🧵</p><p>Today's multiple shorter protests certainly demonstrated the promise of pop-up protests. They were all organized by different groups, but this definitely could be a thing.</p><p>The two that were either regularly scheduled or publicly announced were the only ones with timely police presence.</p><p>The close proximity of the latter two undoubtedly accounted for the extra cops at the earlier of the two, where normally there are like three cops.</p><p>Somewhat surprised by the paucity of cops at Indigo, but there were likely more staged close by. The Court Services van certainly appeared shortly after the wrap.</p><p>Heather did warrant actual "brass" appearing, though. Fucking Toe Beard. That shall evermore be his nickname.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontKeepUsSafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceDontKeepUsSafe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceDontPreventCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceDontPreventCrime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefundDisarmDismantle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefundDisarmDismantle</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckThePolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FuckThePolice</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenocideIsNotDefence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenocideIsNotDefence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenocideIsNotCharitable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenocideIsNotCharitable</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TorontoActions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TorontoActions</span></a></p>
