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.

All of us will need to make our own judgments. The 'news' here is useless - actually, it is worse than useless. The ONLY value for the 'news', is to know the enemy spin on what's going on.
So, the 'news' on this trampled woman appears to be all over the map. That, in of itself, IMHO makes the story suspect. From another angle, gotta consider who benefits from any of the narratives being put out there.
I'm going with faked.
Are the license plates covered?
Caltrops. Yeah, the horses would get hurt. But, they will heal. The amusing bit will be when the traitorous coppers are tossed into the crowd.
