In less than 72 hours, it seems the Ottawa Police have decided that the people they serve and specifically those that are peacefully protesting are just human battering rams to be moved aside and possibly squashed. Truly not a good look for our friends in the north that do not have a Bill of Rights to protect them.
Thank God for the First Amendment we have in the United States. Am I right, people?
If you are a regular reader of RedState, then you know that we have been following the amazing events of our friends in Canada, and the nationwide protests that started back in January, after Prime Minster Castro Trudeau decided to add another mandate not based on science. Like most of his progressive ilk, he thought he would show them li’l people who was boss–and it was the straw that broke the polar bear’s back.
My colleague Nick Arama covered part of the story on Friday here, about how the Ottawa Police rode horses into the crowd with disastrous results. Ottawa Police Excuse for Horses Running Over Freedom Convoy Protesters Departs From Reality…
The police ran their horses into a crowd of protesters much faster than they should have, despite the protesters being peaceful. You can see them knock over a woman who was on what appeared to be a disability scooter, and a man in a brown coat with a knit hat, who was trying to shield her or push her out of the way of the horses.
Both were knocked to the ground, as people yelled about them being trampled. There were later reports that the woman had died, but as far as we can tell, at this point, that was a false rumor, as she was standing up after the incident.
The police say that everyone was able to get up okay afterward. But the police also appear to have told a whopper of a lie about the incident, claiming that a bicycle had been thrown at the horse.
The cop clearly lied about the bike being thrown at a horse. Sorry to say here, Officer Thuggy Buggy, but in the age of social media, you can’t just make up stuff and call it a day. The cameras are EVERYWHERE, and the claims from Prime Minster Brown Shirt and the police that the protestors are…
*Racist
*Homophobes
*Neo Nazis
*Mean to puppies or kittens
are just not factual.
Why? Because there are literally thousands of hours of video, from regular citizens with cell phones. And you damn well know the cops are out there with drones and their undercover video — and they have squat to show. What they have found so far were Canadians peacefully protesting and possibly drinking a Labatts Blue from a can. A threat to democracy, this is not.
So, you might think that after a good night’s rest, after spending the day sticking your boot on the necks of your fellow citizens peacefully demonstrating, maybe the Ottawa Police would pull back and chill. If you thought that as I did, you would be 100 percent wrong.
Ottawa Police tweeted this lovely warning today, reminding those left in town that they watched all those movies about totalitarian governments also — and they might have perfected some of their moves.
