Yeah I'm going to want to hear the other side of the story before drawing any conclusions about whether or not this noted disseminator of Russian-originated disinformation misbehaved badly enough on twitter that he should be arrested for it. I trust that he will get a fair trial.

I see a lot of posts about this guy but a quick scroll of his twitter sees him defending Russia and Belerus. Opposing Canada helping Ukraine, etc. Seems like a lot of red flags on this dude.
That may be, but it still doesn't explain how the cops can charge him with intimidation of cops. Charges like that should only come from a prosecutor.
I agree that there may be a case of cops going beyond the law. I only looked into this since the Canada feed has about 4+ articles talking about this guy with very little details. A 2 second search shows he's basically a Russian agent.
Well if he is a Russian agent, he should be charged if he did any crimes. But this ain't what this is about
Sure, I agree. Lemmy.ca has been spammed with articles about this activist though that don't mention that he's pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine. Just thought I'd add some context.
And that is greatly appreciated since it germane to the discussion.
Dude the deserves to be fucked but he needs to be fucked for the right crimes
Then cops can recommend charges be laid by the feds.
In no way, shape or form do the cops have any right to charge him with anything at this point.

Jfc. Fucking cops should be charged with harassment.
As always, ACAB.
This guys entire twitter feed is him harassing people for views....
Then cops can charge him with harassing those people. They have zero right to charge him with harassing themselves.
Getting the police involved because someone is annoying on twitter just seems like a bad precedent.
Like if his behaviour actually does constitute harrassment, that's a concern, but as far as I can see it seems like he's just loud and opinionated. If you don't like it, use the block button.

Regardless (if you read the story) it would be realized that SHE never blocked him on π, which is the 1st response any reasonable person would do. So, IMHO it was a setup by a litigious zealot, who is Zionist. Zionism isn't pretty.
