ISU Operational Commander decided to leave "anarchists" alone - and to arrest more than 1,000 peaceful protesters

A senior RCMP officer made a deliberate decision to allow a small number of individuals to commit acts of violence completely unmolested, and then used the actions of these few dozen individuals as an excuse for the mass arrest more than 1,000 of non-violent protesters, accredited journalists and random passers by.

In a real democracy, there would be an independent investigation.
