There is a very simple, if unrealistic, solution available. All the authorities have to do, is pretend for one day that the marauding truckers are composed of Black men and women and their allies. The police would immediately remember that they are trained and prepared to use force to control unruly citizens. The marauders would be in jail before the sun set.

I hear they are confiscating and will be restricting access to fuel supplies. That sounds sensible.

A thought for sure, although our police aren’t as well-equipped with surplus military equipment as yours.

Also, we have, in places, significant police accountability boards.

That said, our police have been brutal in more situations than I care to remember.
