What are you talking about? The laws I’m referring to are the ones Parliament wrote. There’s not a deficiency in Parliamentary supremacy issue here that holds police back from violently cracking down on generally lawful protests.

When laws need changing I want parliament to be able to react in a timely manner in concert with the popular will.
They can. Parliament could table a bill tomorrow if it so chose, and have it passed in a week if the political support was there.
You don’t like what the law currently is and you don’t like what I’m telling you about what that means for our ability as police to do the things you want us to do. That doesn’t mean the system’s broken, it just means you don’t like the law. What you actually want here is the creation of new criminal offences to target behaviour you object to but that isn’t currently criminal.

As could the wearing of a balaclava inappropriately.
I am aware of the vagaries of law. I am told there are places in Canada wherecthe law regulates the symbols I wear.
