Canadian Police Chief Says: COMPLY With Armed Home Invaders

A wave of violent home invasions across Ontario has ignited national outrage after police charged homeowners who fought back against intruders — and a senior officer told residents to “comply” with criminals. In Lindsay, a man was arrested after defending himself against an armed intruder. In Welland, a repeat offender was accused in another home invasion case despite past convictions. Another tragedy saw a father of four killed during a break-in, while in the GTA, suspects staged a car crash before abducting a victim. The controversy escalated when York Regional Police Chief Jim McSween told the public to avoid resisting and instead “be the best witnesses possible,” sparking backlash from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who defended the right of Canadians to protect their homes. The cases have fueled debate over bail reform, public safety, and Canada’s self-defense laws.
