As an activist who was there at the beginning of this 2+ year cannabis farmers market, and who has been to every Saturday market since, I'm undeterred by the police raid last night. I'll continue doing peaceful public civil disobedience of harmful cannabis laws, and I won't stop covering this story.
Credit goes to Ron Woodruff (FaceBook) for his footage of the raid (Jan 21 2018 at 10pm).
Thank you to everybody who comes down to Robson Square to support the brave activists who are compelled to stand up for peaceful use of cannabis, and an immediate end to jailing people for it.

I decided against the NSFW tag because I'm almost certain everybody who gets to the swear words (nearly two minutes in) will have seen the title, which warns of violence.
I also think alternative media like this needs to show distressing and "adult" things, if there's a point behind it. In this case, it's not needless violence or swearing, and you're warned in the video before it comes on screen.
We're saving people's lives, no doubt about that. Preventing lives from being saved... that's evil and needs exposing.
Please let me know if that's unreasonable. Thank you : )
