This is why I love the west coast of Canada, I can talk to the cops all I want, I can call them pigs, I can tell them they should learn to do their jobs, I can just straight up troll them and it's protected.
It doesn't mean they won't be absolutely shitty about it and try to start shit though.
That's generally the problem. Nothing good comes of engaging with the cops at a protest. Best case scenario is they do nothing. What case is they decide it's become "violent" and order it to disperse.
There's many many many other reasons it's not a good idea during a protest
