Police are hanging out at Granbanks Social Center, where an ESF-meeting is currently taking place.

Just talked a friend who went to an ESF meeting tonight at the Granbanks Social Center. He says there are 2 police vans, 2 foto units and about a dozen of cops hanging out in front of the Social Center, taking pictures of everyone. Asked why they were there, and why they were taking pictures of people, and wether this might be a strategy of intimidation, a police sergeant replied: "We are here to make sure you are having a save meeting, we are here to facilitate your meeting."

Thank you, cops!
