Ottawa police provided an update Saturday after launching continued operations on Saturday to clear all anti-mandate protesters from the streets of Ottawa.
Interim chief Steve Bell said 47 arrests were made Saturday bringing the total arrests to 170. Police added helmets and batons to their gear on Saturday as they faced a “barrage of resistance, shoving and vitriol.”
Bell says the officers have shown “unparalleled discipline, restraint and the utmost professionalism” in the face of “aggressive” behaviour from the protesters.
Asked about an incident that occurred on Friday with police mounted on horses, Bell said “there was two members of the protesters who did collide with the horses, they fell down, they immediately got back up and started again to engage in their protest and demonstration activity.”
Police also said they were documenting the protest with the intent to pursue financial penalties and criminal charges against those who have participated.

Absolutely shameful. Going to investigate and impose financial sanctions AFTER THE FACT??
I guess Freeland wasn’t kidding when she said they’d be looking to “unlock” peoples savings to use by government. It starts with protesters, under emergency powers, then it’ll extend to anyone that they see fit. You wait.
Protesters are sooo awesome !!!!!!wish I smart enough to go stand in the snow and ruin so many businesses and be a foool. Drop all mendits and no more vassseen passport$
wish the USA had police w discipline. They believe they are the law instead of the peoples instrument. Don’t understand, however, why this was allowed to get this far. Surely vagrancy and other laws would have given enough justification. Hoping you will sue in civil court for trashing your city and the cost of removal.
Trudolf.
Nazi /confederate/Trump flags, organizers linked to Wexit separatists and nationalists groups, foreign interruptions, Nazi symbols on signage, assaulting homeless shelter workers to steal food, knocking a couple going to work for wearing masks, attacking doctors and nurses in front of the hospital, assault weapons with cache of ammunition seized at Coutts, blocking billion$$$ in trade between 2 G7 countries, torturing locals with blaring horns 24/7…
That's not a peaceful protest.
A LAWFUL PEACEFUL PROTEST DEEMED A TERRORST ACT BY THE SAME GOVERNMENT THAT BREAKS ITS OWN LAWS AND CHARTER AND LIES ABOUT ALL OF IT.
NEURENBERG WILL AWAIT MANY OF THE OTTAWA LAW KEEPERS AND ALL OF THE POLITICIANS THAT SENT THEM TO ATTACK PEACEFUL CANADIAN CITIZENS. THERE WILL BE A RECKENING IN DUE TIME. HOPEFULLY BEFORE GOD GETS TO THEM ALL. IMO
Reports of gas being thrown at police, that's not peaceful protest.
Erdogan. Lukashenko. Trudeau. Brothers.
The tough guys urinating and defecating on the streets around Parliament Hill. They been roughing it for three weeks without showers, sleeping in their tents in their protest clothes and boots, then hopping into the hot tubs for a quicky soak. (blech)
Trudeau invoking the Emergencies Act, pure genius. Empowering the banks and financial institutions to freeze assets from criminal activities. Bonus effect, a list of names, locations and amounts will be available to Canada's police forces, maybe even to the general public.
THANK YOU CANADA!…for not joining tin foil Conservatives at the Ottawa occupation.
these guys sound like the biggest snowflake weenies of them all which is what makes them so dangerous. They believe their own lies and think they are justified to use violence. I don't even care at this point whether the truckers are right or wrong. There is no justification for what the police did to that disabled woman.
These f—ers think this is communist China. Trudeau has about made it into that.
ACAB!
It appears that an elderly woman was knocked down unnecessarily and a victim unnecessarily tazered. Can they sue the police for their long term physical injuries?
CBC reports = OLD LADY tramples horse with her scooter!
Society is a bunch of cowards it's why the government will always win

Hey Stevie Bell, What is UNLAWFUL ANOUT PEACEFUL PROTESTS!??!!?? OH RIGHT NOTHING!!!! LAWSUIT!!!!!!
The camera never lies. How audacious to lie to the public when the evidence clearly states otherwise!
Our savior is in each and every individual:
– who cheered the truckers on over bridges all across Canada
– who joined the truckers on the Hill and donated food, gas, showers, and big huge smiles of returned hope
– who donated millions upon millions of dollars
– who drove their truck and lived in a box for 3 weeks in the dead of winter
– who is praying across the globe for us to have the courage and strength to stand up to tyranny
– whose voice has been silenced temporarily with bold faced lies told by government and spread through (M)S(M)
God Keep Our Land, Glorious and Free. Every body sing: Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Honk!!!
AMERICA AND CANADA NEEDS TO GO ON STRIKE, JUST LIKE ANY UNION. THEY CANT ARREST YOU FOR STAYING HOME !!!!!!
