Following Gregor Robertson, Suzanne Anton made talk of respect and acknowledgement of the Coast Salish people; the Musqueam and Squamish peoples; the [Vancouver Police Department] attacked violently the Sacred Fire of the Elders at the Occupy site. They came with the fire department, and violently accomplished the putting out of the fire being peacefully defended.

A final cultural beat down by the armed wing of colonial culture. Shame on the VPD, shame on Vancouver city council, shame on Robertson and Anton.

Cultural oppression and denial of Charter rights is totally illegal in Canada. Violent attack on a cultural event isn't legally OK these days. VPD and Vancouver fucked right up tonight.

Search for more video, it was streamed and shot by hundreds of people.

For those who think colonialism was a historical event...
