The chief of Regina’s police service reiterated that he believes the encampment in front of city hall is exploiting the plight of Regina's homeless population.
“I want to make sure that we understand what I'm saying about this,” Regina Police Service’s Chief Evan Bray told reporters.
“Because since I did my first and original interview on this, people are construing my words to mean something different.”
Chief Bray identified three groups of people in his comments.
The first being those who are homeless, the second being those trying to help.
The third, Bray identified as those “exploiting” the current situation.
“My pointed comments that I made are about people that are trying, in my view, to exploit those that are homeless people, that are using this as a grandstand to stick it to government, to stick it to city hall,” he explained.
