Internal documents show the RCMP refused to release the badge numbers of officers who cleared \u0022Freedom Convoy\u0022 protesters from the Ambassador Bridge.
The situation was detailed in a briefing note and threat assessment prepared for RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, who was asked to approve the decision because the force recognized it raised questions around transparency.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
The bridge reopened Feb. 13 after RCMP and other police used a court injunction to force protesters away from the Windsor border crossing. In one message, a user wrote: “These pigs deserve to die period.” Another suggested cops need to be doxed — the act of publicizing someone’s personal information online, which can lead to harassment.The brief also pointed to the arrests of four men who had blockaded a border crossing in southern Alberta and were charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Police allege two of the men were connected with the far-right extremists of Diagolon.
RCMP spokeswoman Robin Percival said in a statement the force withheld the information in question since it could “reasonably be expected to threaten the safety” of officers. Carleton University criminology professor Jeffrey Monaghan says the convoy protests presented a unique situation for policing. “The convoy flips everything around,” he says, “All of a sudden, we have a situation where the police don’t want to release names and numbers, but not necessarily for accountability reasons ⦠but they have a legitimate concern about these people being wackos.”Article content
