Some people might have asked why protesters outside of Dr. Saqib Shahab’s home last Saturday weren’t arrested by Regina police right there.

Chief of Police Evan Bray understands there might be members of the public who wanted to see police bust up an unruly crowd, but he says it wasn’t an unruly crowd. he says they were protesting and they even had their faces covered and they were in groups that were not contradicting the public health order.

Bray says it would have been “offside” for police to go in and take some sort of action.

He mentioned that people want to live in a society where police are not abusing their authority and arresting people for no good reason. He says Saturday’s protest was one of those cases.
