OPP Radio Alerts Native Build Up in Progress |
|
| Aug 6, 2006
We received calls today along with photos that point to the fact that the Natives are preparing to increase their protest in Caledonia. We have been receiving these calls for a few days and with the additional information can say that even the OPP are preparing for a greater Native Protest. Can anyone imagine Residents standing outside defacing Native flags? Do you think the OPP would just stand by or would they say such action is only inciting a riot. Furthermore, the Natives have increased the number of flags on the illegally held land. The Natives have started to setup flags through the Caledonia area as seen in the photos to the right. Flags are one thing, but the Natives have started to place towers near the road side that can be quickly pulled across the roads. The Photo shows one such tower near the bypass. Another tower with a flag on it is about 200 ft away. Our OPP source tells us that OPP Radio transmission early today alerted officers that something was coming - the Natives were increasing their numbers in the Caledonia area. The Protestors are becoming active. Residents have emailed us that the OPP presence in Caledonia has increased in the last few days. The above information came to us early today but now (10:45 pm Sunday night) we have received three reports of the following: That OPP SWAT or Rapid Response Unit were gassing up in Hamilton and heading to Caledonia. We are receiving calls from multiple sources that the Natives have created a large fire in Caledonia. MELT team members are calling people to ease tension as I type. Two Fire Trucks were sent to the fire, a garbage fire, but could not get to the fire and were turned around.
