Ottawa Police: We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing report

[demmiblue]

We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing reporting line. This endangers lives and is completely unacceptable. (1/2)

It is a crime to unnecessarily call 911 or our non-emergency number (613-236-1222). We track calls and will charge anyone deliberately interfering with emergencies. (2/2)

1. Lock. Them. Up.

[viva la]

2. Start arresting them.

Not sure anything else will encourage them to leave.

5. I did read that 28 key ppl had been arrested

[viva la]

9. I bet towing those trucks is a huge ordeal.

Maybe when the ones at the back see the tow truck coming, they'll back up and skedaddle before they're saddled with a $10K bill.

[bahboo]

3. it is far past time to put the hammer down on these assholes....

this waiting is just empowering them...

4. Wonder what the govt is waiting for. They're clearly not going to stop.

Remember how nuts the rwnjs were over Occupy Seattle? This makes it look like nothing.

6. One of them has a medical emergency. Who you gonna call?

[harumph]

7. I have the perfect plan

Notify the truckers that if they don't evacuate the city, their trucks will be "disabled." Get them to sign a waiver that
says they understand that their truck will be disabled if they don't comply.
Give them 12 hours to comply (don't want to be unreasonable).
These morons will think disabled means booting the wheels or other non-destructive disabling.
However, the police should pour sodium silicate into the gas tanks.
Done. Toast. Get a tow. Sorry motherfuckers your livelihood is gone!

8. maybe we should start

a dialogue . This is becoming ridiculous. I know it's now happening in other countries so now might be a good time to talk
