Canadian police have taken a hardline approach in an effort to break up the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, with at least 100 arrested and mounted police trampling protestors on Friday.
Mounted police and officers clad in riot gear, some carrying rifles, moved in on the Freedom Convoy on Friday, pushing into crowds of people including children as protestors linked arms and sang the national anthem in an effort to block their advances.
Scuffles between police and protestors were reported, with Freedom Convoy members creating makeshift snow barriers to help them defend against the police.
Four senior protest leaders are among roughly 100 people who have been arrested — largely on ‘mischief’ charges — and two dozen vehicles blocking key roads having been towed out of the estimated 350 vehicles belonging to the protestors.
Police have refused to release numbers of remaining protestors or vehicles, AP reports.
Interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell claimed that no protestors were injured, despite footage circulating on social media of police horses trampling protestors at the convoy.

Those operating the tow trucks removing convoy vehicles covered the logos of the companies they worked for and wore neon-green ski masks in an effort to obscure their identities, presumably to avoid potential boycotts from supporters of the truckers.

Wow. Do you happen to have a link?
The truckers should have been prepared with lighters and cigars when the mounted troops arrived. It’s hard on the horses, but easier on old women with walkers.
He was probably a honorable guy and refused to follow an illegal order from Justin Trudeau.
Thanks.
Just uploaded, but note that one of the two is still being processed by bitchute.
It’s working now. You want it to stop. It’s not time to think about going home yet.
OK.
Politically dead? Not even close, just need a Reichstag fire.
That’s been my take since he resigned. It wasn’t because of ‘poor handling of the situation’ - at least from any freedom loving perspective, it was because he wasn’t being ruthless enough.
I keep wondering if the tactics employed by DickTater Trudeau will re-ignite the movement for Canada to break up?
All those tow trucks have license tags. It’s also easy enough to follow them back from where they came and follow the drivers back home. 99.9% of Canadians are laid back but they darn well better look out that those few who are getting fed up.
Remember when American border patrol agents were attacked by the press, intelligence, and every white liberal ‘elite’ in the country when the ‘hysterical left’ thought border patrol on horseback used ‘whips’ on illegals?
(they were horse’s reins not whips)
But today? Liberal ‘elite’ trash would have truckers murdered if they could get away with it.
The two truckers who were sitting in their warm cab when the Stazi smashed their windows and dragged them out to “arrest” them drove them out to where it would take them an hour and a half to walk back in -20 weather wearing trainers and sweats. Never booked or charged, they just wanted them to freeze to death.
Drivers with full face masks....
“Hey, you authorities always said we had to wear masks.”
Excellent point. That is a good observation that applies to the USA.
Any notion that a kill order would be resisted by cops on moral grounds should be set to rest. Not sure what the reward or motivation might have been, but the transformation from cop to SA brown shirts was pretty complete. And probably coming to a city in the US near you.
ok makes sense on arrests
the dude in the 2nd video lays in out
was the trampling faked?
Neon Antifa.
