Lol. There was so much more to this. The cops had informants. They had undercover people. They were also chatting with the protest leadership about how a small number of dangerous people had "infiltrated" the protest movement. And, in the end, the cops seem to have been correct in their suspicions. The investigation isolated and arrested a very small number of people not for carrying weapons but for organizing to kill people. Few if any legitimate protesters were punished for anything. The events at Coutts seems to be a case of canada's police system working well in a unusual situation. From the article above: "Protest organizer Marco Van Huigenbos said the protest was "infiltrated by an extreme element" and a decision was made for the remaining group to roll out from Coutts on Tuesday morning."
