[Resist!ca]

"On April 10, Vancouver Cop Mark Tonner, in his regular Vancouver Province column, accused the PIVOT Legal Society of, among other things 'mobliz(ing) counter-culture activists.'  He further states '(A)ctivists are now cruising Downtown Eastside streets looking for conflict with the law.'  According to Tonner, these meddlesome folk have been deliberately stepping between police officers and suspects 'demanding' to inform them of their rights by handing them something 'claiming it contains legal advice.'"
