The RCMP has rejected 86 per cent of the allegations it’s reviewed so far against a controversial unit created to police resource protests in the Fairy Creek watershed in British Columbia, an analysis by CBC’s The Fifth Estate has found.

The less charitable part of me thinks that it was intentional to send a message that putting yourself in a riskier situation is just going to increase the chance you get harmed because the police are going to take the exact same actions. A way to deter people attempting it again in the future.

Or it could be that this was becoming so commonplace to the police that they had disassociated the risk of harm from the action they took over and over again.

In any case, some retraining and possible rotation is obviously needed.
