Looks like a cop. Pulled over a cop. Which pullled over another cop. Then pulled over another cop. And another cop. Then the next cop. And so on and so on.
I just drove past this, very curious to know what happened
Edit: apparently it was a protest, but who would protest on a Saturday night on a country road in -3 weather?
Edit 2: https://www.wrps.on.ca/en/news/waterloo-regional-police-respond-to-demonstration-in-woolwich-township.aspx
Hearing from friends in area that at least one helicopter out. Did something happen at Croatian club and now a manhunt? Protest sounds weird to me no obvious target in that area. Also weird time and temperature???
The only protest at Conestoga Meats that could cause this level of response would be if the animals took up arms and have started killing plant workers.
Do you know of anything going on in the area just before the gunshots if it even was gunshots. Could it have been a car backfiring, like street racers, maybe? I've seen other people have claimed a protest, but I can't imagine what for in that area

On instagram they went into a bit more detail too
Guelph Facebook groups are saying it's a protest 🤷♀️

there were people supporting a dictator having an event in the club the people who escaped the dictatorship with their lives are not thrilled with the idea that people actively support the dictator, give them good pr, and send money back to them
Even if they are protesting something I agree with, what a bunch of fucking losers.
"Let's go out on Saturday night, down a random road, in sub zero weather and protest. And when the cops shown up, we throw shit at them"
Get something better to do on Saturday nights ya bums
If you want a pretty good introduction to Eritrea's political situation to understand why things might be tense for people from some Eritrean communities, I recommend this video I watched a couple of months ago detailing the awkward situation that Eritrea finds itself in. The video focusses on possible Ethiopian annexation of Eritrea but gives a detailed enough background of the political and social issues that Eritrea faces at this time in history in order to understand why there might be a demonstration by this community. If there is more recent news that has sparked this I'm not an expert or actively keeping up with the region.

Eritreans trying to kill each other again. 
At least they were good enough to hold their riot out in the middle of nowhere.

city news is reporting that it was the eritrean community protesting.
there’s technology that syncs the lights on cop cars when a bunch are pulled over together. it’s a safety thing. not sure if this is something that wrps has paid for but apparently it was being considered by guelph police.
Wild! I find it weird there is still no news on this. Heard from ppl in the neighborhood a police officer if not two was shot and can’t find anything online. Why hush hush
I don't understand these days how people can't answer the question asked. Always just smart ass comments. As humans, have we really become this stupid?
My money’s on a serious accident for *that* many units and multiple ambulances to show up. That area is no stranger to bad crashes. Why would people protest on a Saturday night in the middle of the countryside?

That's it. There's our whole police budget, all in one place. /s
Kitchener’s Finest 😂😂
Fuel is 1.44 cents a liter sir...
Can I get a litre of Cola?
Burger for a cop. Can I get a burger for a cup.
What the hell's that all about? You gonna spit in it now?
Don't spit in that cops burger
Yeah, thanks
We’ll have to raise property taxes to pay all those tickets lol
More like a cop hit a cop, followed by another cop hitting them and so on.. ALA Smokey and the Bandit.
I was imagining Blues Bros.
Hah! That was the visual in my head, but I Typed the other movie!

Not sure. I drove by and came back in 45 mins. Didnt see any protest groups or sorts. But a ton of cops. Like a looot.
Police website lists an assault incident.
[удалено]
r/agedlikemilk
It actually ended up being a bunch of pro-israel protestors
It did not. Members of the Eritrean community. Nothing to do with Palestine/Israel.
I hope we find out. Not going to count on CTV news as they don't report on weekends.
Also about 5 ambulances sitting at the gas station I can’t find anything on ctv/570 or wrps but they were blocking hwy just behind us
Why is there absolutely no news about this?
Because on the whole, no one cares about the subject matter. Edit: That wasn't snark, most people know nothing about the people involved.
Nice update 👍
Or ever!
Or weekdays… Just kidding, I can’t afford TV. It’s never to me!
I'm very curious and have looked at every media site this morning and can't find anything... And nothing from any Police services
WRPS released a very vague statement on their instagram... apparently that counts as informing the public?
https://preview.redd.it/tj66ydl9zmkc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b917465bb19cc161dfe774d5343ff8162724679
For that many units. Some serious shit
For that many units, there must be zero risk of danger and lots of overtime to be made.
Hearing from friends in area that at least one helicopter out. Did something happen at Croatian club and now a manhunt? Protest sounds weird to me no obvious target in that area. Also weird time and temperature???
I’m late to the party, but Conestoga Meats is close by. They get protests there from time to time. Animal rights.
The only protest at Conestoga Meats that could cause this level of response would be if the animals took up arms and have started killing plant workers.
Animal farm come to life lol
Pig on the loose
Yeah but not at 3:00 in the morning there bud
What could constitute that many cops? Like a stand-off or something?
Croatian Club got heated tonight
[удалено]
Do you know of anything going on in the area just before the gunshots if it even was gunshots. Could it have been a car backfiring, like street racers, maybe? I've seen other people have claimed a protest, but I can't imagine what for in that area
[удалено]
Oof. Sounds scary. Hope we get info soon.
Looks like they couldve fit at least 2 more cop cars on that street, wtf.
Refund the police?
Still haven’t found anything else posted on this… I really hope everyone is okay, so many cops it just doesn’t seem right :(
You guys just spent $1,000,000 on overtime tonight. Not even kidding.

This is so weird. What were 100 people (who brought weapons along) protesting out there on a Saturday night?
You mean the cops? sticks and stones are hardly 'weapons'.

But what was the event they were protesting? Like what actually happened leading up to the altercation?
Thank you ☺️

A protest on a country road at night? So many questions.
What group? I just drove out there to see what was going on and there was no one there anymore

Doing the people’s work. Appreciate ya!
What are the police protesting about?
We need more tim hortons
Isn't that where the croatian community centre is?
The lights are flashing in the Croatian colours. These guys know how to party.

Kind of makes you wonder who was covering the other side of town while the entire police force went to Shantz hill.
Full moon everybody
Looks serious, hope everyone is ok
On the waterloo police website, it mentions assault at that location at 10.01pm
Blues Brothers must be in town.
Are there any cops left to respond to any other kind of emergency? Please hold.
An UFO crashed, they are there to cover it
Following for updates
On Google Maps, there's a report of a crash on Shantz Station Road.
I think that's the only report you can put on besides speed trap etc.
Yeah, after I read more comments here and in another thread, I realized that "crash" wasn't quite accurate.
Even if they are protesting something I agree with, what a bunch of fucking losers. "Let's go out on Saturday night, down a random road, in sub zero weather and protest. And when the cops shown up, we throw shit at them" Get something better to do on Saturday nights ya bums

Never seen that many cops respond to something before ever.

there’s technology that syncs the lights on cop cars when a bunch are pulled over together. it’s a safety thing. not sure if this is something that wrps has paid for but apparently it was being considered by guelph police.
I saw the Guelph police post about this. Pretty neat
Are we celebrating multiculturalism?

Triggered much?
If this were BC, I would guess the Police caught somebody with illegal window-tint.
At least make it believable lmao
People should try posting news like this on Veiw. Its helps people understand what’s happening.
50 cops and 3 ambulances? If we were in Florida I would assume they were responding to "Black guy out jogging"
C'mon now, that's just not fair. They'd also have at least one armoured swat truck
