The anarchists know exactly how to engage the police so that it's immediately us vs them.
In Vancouver, we already have a massive distrust for them and the job of the senseless few is just made easier.

Whatever the history the VPD has with its citizens is moot. Criminal behaviour is criminal behaviour period and should not be excused.
How does robbery, assault, and arson translate into an acceptable social statement? Just because you don't like somebody or something isn't an excuse to behave like this. They destroyed the property of innocent people and companies, those caught should be forced to pay the entire bill.
