I don’t agree. There are some sympathetic cops. The police force is not ideologically homogeneous. But a lot of guys on the fence will set aside their qualms for a pay check. A lot of the more “conservative” dudes are retiring.

They have. They've made the public face of policing in Canada hostile and hateful.
The next time one is killed, nobody is going to care. They won't go stand by the side of the road when the funeral parade goes by, and they won't say bad things about the people that killed them.
They'll be less inclined to call the police when they see a crime and less inclined to be friendly when they can't avoid them.
The head of the RCMP is selected very carefully because there's been no investigations that ever went anywhere after accusations of political corruption came out for a very long time.
Their training over the years has increased to alienation and combative attitudes. They've gone Stanford prison experiment and can fuck off now.
Probably never. Worker revolts cause shortages and starvation. When the police come to your house to collect your remaining food for their woke friends you'll give it to them. Then you'll die. The end.
You think they would come prepared for the mounties with flares to spook the horses. Horses are dead easy to spook. Even a well trained "bomb proof" horse isnt going to stick around if you shoot flares at it.
I’ve always kind of thought of the typical trucker as the kind of guy who wouldn’t have a problem beating someone’s ass if that’s what is came to. Turns out I was wrong.

There is a difference between beating one guy's ass at a bar, and starting what could potentially have been a mob-level conflict (on the less extreme side) or the start of a civil war (on the extreme side). I'm not advocating for inaction or action. I am just pointing out that there are serious considerations here. If a trucker had attacked a cop in that moment, it may have meant many other innocent people (including the elderly and children) would get hurt when the police reacted.
This won't be popular, but another factor to consider here is that this situation was slightly ambiguous re: the cop's intent. There is a difference between a cop that intentionally directs his horse to trample someone, and a cop walking in a line of other cops on horseback, who ignores the proximity of the crowd and clods on someone who got in the way of the line. I'm not justifying what happened. The entire demonstration with the horses was bullshit. What I'm suggesting is that the convoy members might have responded with a counterattack if it had been clearer the cops were actively hurting people, rather than passively hurting people.
A long time ago that was the way it was. The fact that you can set on your butt all day and do nothing but drive is one of the big draws for a lot of the truck drivers today.
The entire point was peaceful. Being victimized by the police is the point because they did nothing to warrant the military combat response, The police are fucked. All the boomer tier old ladies are pissed and disgusted because that's them.
Keep in mind most of the cabinet members and subordinates are World Economic Forum young leaders, or whatever the fuck they're calling them, Trudeau included.
