I quote from this story: "Dozens of (police) officers, some wearing balaclavas to conceal their identities, stormed the cafe." This is in Canada, isn't it? The cafe owners broke the law, perhaps, but they were not hoarding machine guns and bombs. They were not holding hostages. Why should the police have to "storm?" Why "dozens," and why conceal their identities? Something very scary is going on here, and it has nothing to do with protecting the public. Balaclava-wearing terrorists are bad enough. But balaclava-wearing police? In Canada? Help! Deltry Zollmann, Almonte - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
