Vancouver police say the actions of officers involved in an anti-pipeline demonstration Friday are under review. The VPD says the melee prompted requests for police emergency backup from across the city. Indian Chiefs called the treatment of the protesters "horrifying" and demanded a review of the officers actions. "Indigenous youth must not be criminalized and targeted for peacefully standing with Indigenous nations asserting their Title and Rights," said Kukpi7 Judy Wilson, secretary-treasurer of the Union of B.C. Kanahus Manuel, a high profile Secwepemc land defender and spokesperson for the Tiny House Warriors says the group supports the actions of the Braided Warriors.
