Vancouver Cop Watch Insults, Threatens & Spits Racist Abuse At The Police (feat. David Eby)

You may remember back in June when I covered the story of how Vancouver Cop Watch’s Jennifer Allan hoodwinked Bill Good on CKNW.

#MassiveFAIL: Police Use LRAD On Vancouver Casseroles Last Night!

Last night’s Casseroles march was, of course, a small group of about 20-30 idiots who felt it was permissible to block the Burrard Street Bridge last night. Somehow they thought that their ‘right to protest’ overruled the rights of 100’s of Vancouverites to travel unhindered through the city. These people really need to grow-up.

Why Did Vancouver Cop Watch Post An Occupy Toronto Arrest Of Jayson Fleury Today?

  I’m not sure how it happens, but when I get a hunch about somebody I’m often right. Jamie Stuart Richardson is the co-founder of Vancouver Cop Watch- or, the tail that was barking as i mentioned in my story.
