This peaceful protest at #BritishColumbia #BCgovernment #MinistryOfEnvironment building in #VictoriaBC was about the only time that I thanked cops.

It was because an angry woman, who was walking by, opted to start trying to verbally abuse me & 2 other women chained up with me. She was growing more aggressive & cops told her to leave or be arrested. They also told landlord of building we had a right to protest & refused to arrest us when demanded.

I give credit when it's due & never otherwise.
