I pull this #meme out often, regarding the government's partnership with ecocidal corporations to exploit more unceded Indigenous lands. It's how #Canada really puts the #RECON in #reconciliation.#BCpol #CDNpoli #CSIS #Colonialism #Capitalism #WhitewashingThieves #GreenwashingThugs #BanCorporateLobbyists #StopCorporateWelfare #Ecocide #EcoJustice #IndigenousRights #UNDRIP #Landback #NativeLand #Unceded #CorporateGreed #GreedKills #Corruption #Bribery #DirtyDeals #BackroomBribes #PublicTransparency #PublicAccountability #PublicScrutiny #CrimesAgainstHumanity #RCMP #CIRG #FederalDomesticTerrorists #Inhumane #RemoveQualifiedImmunity #neoliberals #ColonizersLieCheatSteal #ColonialCriminals #StopTheWhitewash #KKKanada

@NMBA Truth. I know & so do hundreds of citizens they've illegally detained & arrested & assaulted & they committed multiple crimes in front of many witnesses - laughing about never getting consequences, etc. - in front of citizens & journalists.
#BCNDP are responsible for creating these #DomesticTerrorists. Both the #BCgovernment & #GovernmentOfCanada put taxpayers on the hook for paying millions to these #lawbreaking thugs with badges. No ID, refuse to identify themselves, wear fascist patches on their uniforms & get away with a lot of brutal shit because of qualified immunity & corrupted government protection. We seriously need to #RemoveQualifiedImmunity.
#BCRCMP #CIRG gave a promotion to one of the most violent & unhinged COs too, instead of reprimanding him for multiple unlawful actions. Sgt. Charney - long history of complaints that go back decades, which include racism/bigotry/abuses of power/etc. He's the shithead who sent away my BC Ambulance help, slashed emergency water tanks at Wetsuweten during a drought & wildfires season, ordered helicopters to violate Transport Canada regulations & fly too low to kick up dust/debris at activists, tried running me over with an ATV - I could literally list many more illegal shit done by Charney alone.

"In April 2022, the Special Committee on Reforming the Police Act released its report. Among its 11 recommendations were replacing the RCMP with a provincial police force, adopting a new approach to mental health calls and giving First Nations self-determination over policing in their communities.The goal was to modernize the Police Act and bring it in line with the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act."
Not only did they not do anything at all on overdue & necessary #PoliceReform but the Horgan/Eby #BCNDP has spent more funds on sending cops to silence #citizens #dissent & arrest/kidnap/illegally detain Indigenous land defenders/water protectors on their own unceded lands, than any other BC government prior.
Let's not forget that #BCRCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017, under Horganized #CrimesAgainstHumanity regime, as #CorporateMercenaries to protect ecocidal industry capital. The bill for CIRG services should be paid by the private ecocide industry they're protecting - not be put on backs of #BCTaxpayers. CIRG doesn’t protect citizens at all. It should be #abolished but this current #neoliberal greedy government isn't going to follow the moral & ethical route to do that.

#FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, to try & intimidate us. We had Transport Canada verify that this helicopter maneuver & 3 other ones documented at other resistance camp areas was illegal & violated federal regulations but no action was taken to punish people responsible for violations.
This footage was taken before over 100 RCMP CIRG goons raided 4 different #ResistanceCamps.
Voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.
RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.

Who are the #DomesticTerrorists here?
The unarmed #environmental activists or the state funded, militarized #RCMP #CIRG unit?
Who is the one fighting for humanity & protection of our ecosystems?
Who is protecting the profits only interests of ecocidal corporations & the sellout politicians?
Tell me - who are the real domestic terrorists that you see in these #photos.

Part of the #RCMP #CIRG #DomesticTerrorists who violated multiple laws with impunity. This was taken about an hour before another very violent raid.

Staying calm while #RCMP #CIRG chumps surround & threaten you is #HumanityInAction. Most female environmental activists have more bravery than all #RCMP across #Canada 🙌

Part of #BCRCMP #CIRG unit. #RCMP are taxpayers/state funded, #DomesticTerrorists.
This corporate mercenaries unit only exists in #BritishColumbia & they're violent towards environmental & Indigenous activists. This unit was created solely to protect interests of private ecocidal corporations & they do not protect citizens. The unit should be abolished.Please note: All of these RCMP thugs are wearing the #ThinBlueLine patch AND one of the bigot #colonizers had the nerve to wear a #MoosehidePin too 😤💩 None wore any identification badges & refused to provide their badge numbers when asked - which is illegal in BC, when they voluntarily interact with any citizen. A few of them(not in these photos) actually had put black tape over their identification badges too.

#FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, circling over us, to try & intimidate us. An hour after I took this vid clip - they flew above us again. I mooned them from landback resistance camp bridge.

Raven, the short Black-Latina woman with dreads, is a fierce & trusted frontlines sister-friend. She & I were one of a few POC women who were heavily targeted by the RCMP thugs.

#RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
By Leanne Sanders
Sep 11, 2024The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.
“In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”
C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

Here's a vid of me introducing Ojistah, my adopted #Mohawk young sis, at mass mobilization across BC for RCMP Stand Down protest in #VictoriaBC. Vid of her speaking too.
2022.Over 500 of us surrounded RCMP HQ in Victoria. I had multiple solidarity actions take place across BC, in Calgary, in Ontario, in NY, in LA, in 4 places in NZ & from London, UK too. I organized the #MassMobilization #protests in response to #RCMP #CIRG breaking the law without any accountability.

Please do not ever forget us.
We fought for you & for our #Oldgrowth #forests & #environment. We are still fighting! I was first arrested at #Clayoquot Sound. It was my very first #environmental #blockade. I have been arrested multiple times since. I refuse to stop fighting for #MotherEarth.This is a lifelong commitment for many of us longtime activists.
https://youtu.be/Z9A-VK3B8EM?si=rGZ1BgvYe6_xxV_A
Decades later Clayoquot, after Squamish violent standoffs & after the fight for #Walbran #Carmannah ancient forests; I was at Fairy Creek:
https://youtu.be/MPTP4lFVYes?si=IK2KK7MJYqYihsjxThe #RCMP #StateViolence was increased on us at FC, because RCMP #CIRG was only created in 2017. After multilple huge #Indigenous stand-offs against govt assisted ecocide on unceded native lands for over 3 decades in #BritishColumbia. #RCMPCIRG is a voluntary #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public #Canadian taxpayers' monies & it should be #ABOLISHED.

#ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023
"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.
"Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'
"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."
Background: Back to Fairy Creek
"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.
"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.
"Until now.
"A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."
