Scary to see how this is just a small step away from prohibiting any criticism of the police. I feel sorry for Canadians now, and hope that one day they can recover their freedoms.
Right, but isn't there precedent here wherein people guilty of a crime were forbidden from communicating with, or posting about their victim on social media? Just that in this case, the victim is the police force, and not some random individual.
No, I literally just meant: this person was forbidden by the government of Canada from criticizing the police. Apparently in any direct fashion, violent or not.
We don't even reach the question of whether the original imagery qualifies as "criticism".
Yes, and my point is that this is very similar to how, for example, convicted harassers aren't allowed to talk about their victims on social media, even if it isn't in a manner associated with their crime?
