A disturbing video [Full Video Link] shows a seriously unstable set of Ottawa police officers targeting and arresting an 80-year-old man for the crime of blowing his car horn (I think).
A shorter version of this video is going viral on social media as the Ottawa police department begins “enhanced enforcement techniques,” at the request of municipal and provincial government officials. There’s some salty language here as the Canadian police begin to go full Australia with the arrests in/around the Freedom Protest groups.
The elderly man, albeit a little salty with the officers, was identified by police as a non-compliant threat to their authority. He is then roughly manhandled, put on the ground and eventually handcuffed and taken away. His current status is unknown. WATCH (Prompted)

I’m proud to say I have no pigs in my family.
No association with such types.
Wow. Nice generalizing.
My son is retired LEO, and a nephew was state police in Montana. Another nephew is presently county sheriff in Minnesota.
Many others on the treehouse have relatives who are LEO, and who themselves are LEO.
It’s usually best not to generalize just in order to vent personal frustrations.
The treehouse has changed. A lot. There’s good reason why most of the old-timers are not seen any more. So it goes.
Canada used to be a nice place, too.
Please thank them for their service Sharon.
I have some very nice law enforcement friends who very diligently helped me solve the murder of my family member and put 2 of the 3 scumbags behind bars.
I live in a cop neighborhood and have been tight with leo for 50 years. There have been some bad ones and there are some lazy ones. Political as hell and many are in it for the money, which is pretty good these days. Lot of side hustles. Ghost employment not unheard of. As a rule I like leo and they are good neighbors.
Guy down the street is a Louisville city cop and looked like a storm trooper when in uniform. Got promoted and is liason to street people – probably dangerous but he can wear whatever he wants. Makes good money and is a great neighbor, rescued a 3 legged chuiwawa. One of the good ones.
I didn’t hear anyone say ALL POLICE are “fill in the blank”. He was referring to those two in the video. Respect is EARNED, not demanded. A lot of police do earn respect and appreciation, but like you implied that was in the good old days when one could safely assume the vast majority were good guys. Many today are not like the cops of yesteryear. They aren’t NOT defending the Constitution or the People. They are carrying out unlawful mandates and protecting their retirement accounts. Those who act decently have no reason to take offense.
I agreed with Sharon but with your comment, I went back and re-read.
Not all LEO are pigs. Pigs are the ones that are, well, pigs.
I am confident that many here with LEO family, like Keen, can say they are glad they do not have any pigs in their family.
I see your point and it’s a good one.
I might say that either they don’t realize the piggers in the family, or choose not to know such things. All the bastards aren’t everyone else.
Agreed.
Nah – Kleen was insulting.
“I’m glad to say their are no pigs on my family” that is an insult.
Stupid thing to say but carries the same weight as a fart in a whirlwind
When the “good” cops don’t stand for what is right, what their job really is, what they pledge to do, then how are the rest of us not to believe they stand with these other cops?
Complicit is a thing.
Maybe if their families were shunned, they’d get a clue?
Unfortunately, statistics and history are not on your side. Sorry.
It would be interesting to know just how many Brown Shirt thugs, Stassi, and Gestapo tried the old “I was just following orders” routine to explain away their atrocities.
Sorry, Sharon, your friends and nephews are NOT the new police of today.
How do you know that they’re not? How does she know that they’re not ?
Did hannity say so ?
Even if the percent of LEO who would refuse to follow orders of tyrants to oppress the people may be smaller than we like, the percent of Military who would refuse to follow orders of tyrants to oppress the people is much smaller. Our Founding Fathers knew this and that is why they gave us the 2nd Amendment.
And NOT a standing army.
Why did everyone leave?
My question, too. Sharon said “The treehouse has changed. A lot. There’s good reason why most of the old-timers are not seen any more. So it goes.”
I may just be very dense, but I am left wondering what that statement intended to infer. It’s an odd statement and doesn’t seem to fit in the context of her post. I hope she enlightens us as to what it meant.
It’s manipulation, guilt, witchcraft.
You’re living in a dream world you’ve created to protect yourself from the reality of what the cops are capable of. I’m a retired cop and watching the gestopo accomplishment the tyrants dirty work. Do they share with you the beatings and setup the commit on a daily basis. You know nothing of their honor. Ask them,your family members, how they refer to the peoples they supposedly serve. Have you not watched as countless American cities were burned and looted while the police turned their back on the shop keeper or small business they was looted. I can say with all honesty, this would never have happened back in the 60s and 70s. The cops today are as woke as the elected slime they serve. Eventually they will fire on the citizens. Read your history. Think Ashley Babbit.
Exactly.
Enough of the feel good hannity bullshit. Wakey wakey
Only 1 % of the FBI is corrupt. The other 99 % love mom, apple pie and Chevrolet. It was only the 1% cops that stood down while cities burned, allowing innocents to be killed and maimed.
The list of Leo abuses is endless, thugs, arrogant, largely not held responsible. You can burn a candle for them. Me, however, if / when shtf, the Popo are the first wall to fall.
Wow, Karen, I mean Sharon, I bet your kids never did and wrong, either.
The Treehouse has NOT changed….all blogs ebb & flow, with commenters coming & going…how insulting to Sundance’s hard work to insinuate otherwise.
It’s hard to believe that Canada was once a part of this tradition and loyalty!
It’s also hard to believe today’s England was once part of it.
My grandpappy, rest his soul, fought on Guadalcanal, Saipan and Okinawa to defeat this garbage. Looks like it’s our turn to fight the same tyrannical filth.
That was hard to watch. One minute I am wishing the guy filming would just shut the bleep up.
But then, on the other hand, his non-challenging got to the cops and they showed their true colors.
For the world to see.
Oh, the shame they brought yo their families.
Not only an 80-year-old, but I also think that he can’t possibly be even 5 foot tall
“Shame !” indeed
Pretty sickening, disturbing and pathetic. Two po-po’s arresting an fragile non threatening 80 year old man for honking his horn. That’s a real good look for police and “Glue on Eyebrows” Justin.
We must make some examples, so let’s pick an 80 year old man who isn’t driving a truck….
It seems like the bystander’s continual berating of the police officer may have instigated the aggressive behavior of the officer, egging the officer to do something, which then got the older gentleman to chime in, and viola – made for TV moment.
Doesn’t excuse the officer’s actions, but does bring into question – who is the real agitator in this? Do we know what caused the officer to approach the older man in the first place?
Why didn’t the officers go after the agitator for interfering with their activities? Almost as if this video is created to stir up the peaceful trucker protesters and their families to become violent. Kind of like a Ray Epps sh-t stirrer trying to create chaos to justify police aggression.
No excuses for that police behavior. He was not threatening anyone – there was no need for forcing his arm behind his back and taking him down. A couple of deranged sissy cops.
One question….when does this f$%&$@& s&%@ stop?
When do we say enough!!!!
I’ve been say “enough already” for a while but I can’t do it by myself and I don’t see anyone taking leadership. I’d be there in a heartbeat – and I’m a woman. But I’ve got a pitchfork in the garage ready for action.
The officers should have done humanity a favor and shot each other.
I ask because there are moments in the video as if the officer is posing for the camera; it’s a bit too ‘perfect’ timing -wise for the re-emergence of Castro’s son.
I wonder why someone carries their ID in the back of the car?
One possible reason:
More than 400 reports of auto break-ins and car thefts, how to prevent becoming a victim
If they break in, they’re likely to rifle thru the glove box and center console, but less likely to get to the back there where he went
And this is epidemic in Seattle, Portland, San Fran … residents have taken to leaving their vehicles on the street with all windows down and trunks open so the thiefs at least don’t break windows and locks
Face it, it’s no longer the country we grew up in
To quote Austin Powers:
“I’m sorry, baby, but that train has sailed”
and wears pajama pants in zero weather
Good point – optics that are staged is a lefty trademark
Yes, we know why the officer approached him because it’s in the dialogue and it became obvious once the cameraman crossed the road: the older man honked his horn in solidarity with the pickup truck on the other side of the intersection that had freedom banners and flags and posters.
That was his “offense” and they picked on an old guy. The driver should have said he was honking at a bird in the road or some other safety concern. At least then he’d be playing the same stupid games that the police are playing and would have a “logical” reason for honking. It’s petty and ridiculous. The Karens in the neighborhood (assuming maybe someone complained) are willing to put up with tyrannical mandates, lockdowns, and loss of freedom for 2 years but they can’t handle a few weeks of honking? Ridiculous! And now you know why Trudy is their leader.
Aka “Officer, I was honking to tell them to get out of the way”
He provoked them only to show which side they stand.
Troll.
really?
The po po are nothing more than bullies for the elites. They single out the old, infirmed, moms, or advance only when they have a significant advantage.
On this point, I am reluctantly in agreement with the good folks of BLM.
YES. These are not the police we used to love.
I agree. I’ve been watching the Snickerpie stream on Odysee which has done a good job showing the freedom protests in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
https://odysee.com/@Snickerpie:b/FreedomConvoyProtest:b
The person who runs the stream mentioned that she noticed that the jackboots in Australia would always target mothers, children, or the elderly at protests in order to rile up the crowd or because the jackboots consider them to be easy targets.
I saw the Australian jackboots shove a mother with two young children to the ground for no reason. The children were naturally crying and distressed.
In New Jersey I was target bc I was a suburban mom with out of state plates stopped 3xs in a month. By big bad boys to my five foot self. Only state I was ever pulled over in. Btwn speed traps and lies, I was relieved to move.
I saw them push down a woman in her 70’s and while she was on the ground, they sprayed her with something like she was a bug.
.……….only when they have a significant advantage.
Note that this exchange did not happen in the middle of the protest. Where in the city were they? I didn’t see any trafic driving by. Two cops and one old man, who probably is like the other 99% of the population; clueless about this new horn honking “regulation”, or law. It would be interesting to see, and hear, exactly what the old man did.
dox them all
This is a repost, to get it in front of more eyes.
Tonight at midnight. Everyone go out and honk your car horn for the next 20 minutes to show solidarity with the old man.
Please join in. Spread the word . Text everyone you know.
Listen… You will hear us everywhere
You have three hours.
These brave Nazi police choose an old man to pick on – they’re afraid of the truckers.
Praying only on the weak. Long time ago, back in elementary school, we called that type Bullies.
Preying not praying
This man is being picked off from the main trucker staging area. He is old and half the size of that cop. Disgusting
The great grandsons of Flanders Fields. The grandsons of the Battle of the Atlantic. Turning in their graves
It was John Locke, a favorite of the Founding Fathers of America, who said the People have the right, and duty, to kill tyrants and their servants.
Trudeau Government Asking Provinces Cancel Licenses Of Truckers Protesting by brianpeckford
What ‘s Going on in this country? Protests by the left seems to be OK, remember the Churches being burnt down?
The truckers have a right to PEACEFUL protest —’to associate and assemble, freedom of expression’ , all these protected in the Charter of RIGHTS AND FREEDOMs.
Yes, it has to be peaceful—-and that’s what is happening!!!!
These authoritative moves by the Federal Government are not democratic , not Canadian————-
Canadians are going to have to protest to their Premiers , Prime Minister that this is wrong —-and to tell the Premieres they oppose taking away a Truckers Licence and not to take such action.
Oh there you go. Dear gussie…does this man have one uncontaminated brain cell in his head?
That’s right, Big Man. Cancel every license, then go find the thousands upon thousands you’ll need to keep Canada in the essentials of life. What a complete idiot!!
Cancel their licenses? Then what? Who drives the rigs?
No one with SOLIDARITY.
Watch whether Canadians have learned from the Polish.
They will import foreigners to do it. They have already been doing exactly that already for years, and Trudeau has been quite open about his desire to replace the historic Canadian people. Trudeau is an employee of those who want Canadians replaced, so even forcing him to resign would only be a defensive victory. He will just be replaced by another.
What worked in Poland only worked because Poland was and is Polish not multicultural, and had a ruling class that was also Polish. You don’t always get a fair shake from a ruling class drawn from your own, but you never get a fair shake being ruled over by foreigners. Diversity is only a strength to the transnational oligarch.
“then what? Who drives the rigs?”
MEXICANS
Don’t doubt it for a minute
… also:
SYRIANS
(we’ve just imported a bunch)
Where are conservative politicians in Canada??
the police/judges are there to ensure people of Ottawa are free to live without excessive horn honking but it’s ok if the gov forces/coerces you to have a shot? Seems odd.
Reality is not part of the equation.
That’s just disgusting to wrestle with an older man that way. These mask Nazis are stomach-turners. Masks and COVID vaccines have BOTH been proven to not work. The vaccines, however, have injured or killed more than all other vaccines combined. The new autopsies showing never before seen white material almost the length of a leg by embalmers, IS, however, very concerning.
Klown-Kar-Cult-ure Unserious-Sh*thole-Society.
“A Banana-in-the-Tailpipe-Republic, if you can keep it.” — Zombie Benjamin Franklin, First Among Deplorables of His Time
I am convinced that these verses best address this present danger’s most pressing trials – Matthew 10:28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” & Hebrews 13:6 “So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'”
This is very much a timely reminder of that which bears repeating in these times.
Thank you.
Canadian Polizei in Action……
From what I’ve read it was the lawyer who made that video about the honking horns in the street below his luxury high rise-Paul Champ-who went before the judge last Saturday and got the injunction. Human rights lawyer. POS
Get rid of everything obama….everything….
Yes, that gentleman provided a little bit of Salty language. So what. Nothing any fully functioning adult hasn’t heard before. As long as there are no threats made, I don’t think it’s an arrestable offense to mouth off some at a cop. Watching that video though, I’m surprised the cops didn’t act more aggressively towards the cameraman. He was pushing his luck on interfering with an officer charges. Maybe they couldn’t hear all he was saying. Or maybe they did and, as suggested on this forum already, turned their own aggression on to the elderly gentleman. Were I there to witness the event I would like to think I would have simply followed the cops back to the station and posted bail for the old man. Maybe get some of the upper echelon at the station to commit their thoughts to this new anti Horatio Hornblower policy.
Perhaps Mark Twain was right when he wrote his essay, “Man the Lowest Animal”.
The freedom honkers
The Freedom Protests keep on spreading, today:
Fighting the urge to fedpost. Trumpets must make their siren song – otherwise this horror never stops and it will reach levels no one thought possible. Do these solipsistic leftists even care about the world they are leaving for their children and grandchildren?
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺
The majority of them are childless.
As bad as this is, in America as well as Canada, we may look back at all this as “The Good Old Days”, because, if more of the People get more seriously “uppity”, the government of Canada, and the government of America, will turn their Army loose on the People.
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe. A standing military force, with an overgrown executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretext of defending, have enslaved the people.
– James Madison (“The Father of the United States Constitution”)
Debate in parliament right now. I’ve listened to a little bit, but it became intolerable.
Truedope is going full blown Nazi..raging about how nazi and Confederate flags are being flown and the good citizens of Canada deserve better..sickening little despot.
Candice Bergen is not up to the task to rebuke him…she seems very weak to me…
Best speaker of the night.
DD
That was quite good, though I felt it didn’t go far enough. She spoke of many Western countries that are pulling back from mandates and such, but not Canada. It would have been the perfect moment to point out countries around the world that rule by the same kind of authoritarian control that Trudeau is inflicting. But I know it’s easy to back bench and think someone should have said this, not said that, etc. And we have to live in the real world so compared to most of her colleagues, she’s probably a stand out. I could feel her passion, rage, and frustration bubbling up and her effort to keep it together.
Just curious, what party does the speaker belong to?
Wow, that was impresive.
Many thanks for posting that. Hope everyone will have a chance to see this very dedicated and passionate Canadian officeholder.
The entire thing looks like a Monty Python skit
Probably worse than being water boarded.
Speaking of fascist dictatorships….
Today, the DHS has labeled you a domestic terrorist
https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/ad…
“Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:
The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:
For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.”
Whos door will be broken down first?
The link didnt copy right, so here it is:
https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-february-07-2022
What violent attacks are they referring to? Absurdity sinks into insanity…
“undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions”
The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions (like the FBI, CIA, DOJ, DOD, Academia, MSM) are extraneous [or worse – dangerous], they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, [become criminal], cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death. To be loyal to rags [institutions], to shout for rags [institutions], to worship rags [institutions], to die for rags [institutions] — this is loyalty to unreason, it is pure lower animal; it belongs to monarchy [which our Founding Fathers rebelled against, went to war against], was invented by monarchy; let monarchy keep it.
– Mark Twain
Recently separated Veterans from the U.S. military if not at the top of the list will be close to it.
I remember them making a big deal of the threat of “domestic extremists” in the ranks.
The crooked Media is determined to ignore this movement as long as they can.
Word this date from a friend in Canada has stated over half of the Ottawa Police Dept. has resigned and will not take actions against the truckers and fellow Canadians.
My friend stated the government controlled news media is not reporting this mass resignation.
That is very encouraging and not at all surprising on the part of the media….how can we get this information confirmed and then widely distributed?
So hope this is true
I think this is one of those stories that circulates that has no basis in fact.
Needs verifiable source… this is not the first time that has been suggested today.
Too good to be true, so it probably isn’t.
Please post when you have a link. Thanks.
Interesting how perceptions can turn on a dime when certain things are exposed.
I had mostly been sympathetic at best, apathetic in general about police. The events this week have turned me totally cynical and suspicious about the police forces. you know that the vast majority will do anything they’re told to. Without a conscience or a second thought
A few hours ago I left a supermarket. Outside was a squad car, with two cops on either side of a young twenty something year old girl. They handcuffed her and put her in the car. She looked kind of disheveled, but not destitute. She was quiet and didn’t argue or resist. My guess is that she could have been shoplifting food. She had a backpack that looked pretty full.
Normally I feel sorry for people like that, in tough circumstances. But never question the fact that ‘they broke the law’ and got caught, and the cops are just doing their job.
Today I fought back an urge to interfere and tell the cops that they have no right to selectively enforce some laws and not others.
It was a bit of a self revelation, realizing how much I distrust them and the system they represent. And every day in Ottawa and around the world deepens that feeling. And I doubt it changes from now on.
A Daily Mail article from a few months ago…….No I do not have a link because it it not a recent article.
In Colorado, police treated a 70+ year old female with dementia horribly. Broke her arm, tore ligaments, left her in a cell without food, water, never checking on her until the following day. She had been asking for help, crying in pain, and was ignored……her injuries left untreated. Her family filed a lawsuit. The body cam footage showed that the woman was clearly confused and the police took her down like she was a 200 pound man resisting arrest. The body cam footage was disturbing to watch. She left Walmart without paying for her items……around $17.00.
The majority of police are not our friends.
My family and myself have had too many bad encounters with police. We had to hire an attorney to go after a policeman who threatened and harassed our son. It took a few months but we wanted documentation. I no longer trust or respect LEO. Too many are not good. Too many obey orders from the Marxists today.
And once again, the Republicans are silent about the DOJ labeling people domestic terrorists who exercise their Constitutional rights that goes against the Marxist group think.
The more they do this the deeper the hole they dig for themselves
These guys are primarily concerned about making their pay and also decided to have a little “perverse fun” messing with an old man. Bet they wouldn’t be so frisky if the man was about 50 years younger.

“I can haz honk?”
MDOT: Ambassador Bridge closed amid traffic backups from Canada protests (detroitnews.com)
Watching that cop brings to mind the term Rat Fink.
Mind boggling. I hope we can stay on top of this story and get it out to the world. Thank you SD for the content. So important right now.
When it comes to fighting for freedom, one trucker is worth a thousand soldiers.
.
OCN, I really wish you’d stop already with insulting soldiers. One of my sons worked driving a moving truck to help put himself through college; now he’s an army infantry officer. Another has been deployed repeatedly and watched his buddies get maimed and killed, literally repeatedly risking his life for a dozen years now. And he’s currently deployed.
Many of us here have children, grandchildren, other family members in the military and they aren’t all the Pentagon perfumed. (Or the too-often shfbrains civilians who make the policy decisions.)
Army infantry officer?
The infantry walks, the artillery rides.
I rode.
One battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.
These police are no really comfortable with what they have to do, In the back of their minds they know that the community will remember them. Early on the whole department and the provicial police would be better off telling Trudeau to STUFF IT.
Every elected Covid tryrant is now nervously evaluating his or her position. Every one of them. Except for Biden. He wants pudding.
Well, I’m not so sure about that because he had it last night!
But he forgot that, so he wants more pudding!
I was listening to CBC radio on the way home from work. A moonbat professor was explaining how trucks honking is violence, a trucker just standing there is intimidating, a trucker speaking to them is hate speech and how trucks are weapons. When you are watching a diverse peaceful protest with horrible things like dancing in the streets and bouncy castles for children you are actually seeing a violent armed insurrection. The Elites in my country have gone completely insane. This won’t end well….
I keep thinking about Rawanda. How the radio stations spewed hate that lead to a genocide.
A few years ago, the left liked to point out that Canada ranked 7th in the world Happiness Index. Wonder if they still do?
I also remember being told by a self proclaimed progressive that Canada, Britain and a slew of other countries weren’t any closer to communism because of Fabian Socialists. Wonder if they still believes that?
And I’m reminded of the fact that American leftists often said they wanted to make the US more like Canada. Wonder if that’s still true.
Although I have to say, in the US the guy holding the camera likely would have been in cuffs before the old man. I’m very curious why he got way with so blatantly interfering in the situation?
.
Uhm… loudly mocking that officer while videotaping didn’t help. The cops were wrong but…
Oh come on, simp counsel
Now that I think about it, I’ve now seen two teams consisting of two couples that come upon the scene where arrests are in progress and both have used the same M.O. of taunting police that end up using excessive force, or appear to be unnecessarily cruel (arresting some elderly man (4-feet tall) for honking??).
In so much as these citizens do not appear authentic, and sound rehearsed to me, I’m suspicious that these filmed events could be setups to arouse anger from the truckers and their supporters in order to fulfill the government’s urgent need for this convoy to turn violent.
Must keep an eye out for this sort of thing.
Man goes hunting for racists in Ottawa.
Hey! That was good! I enjoyed that!
Thank you! That young man gets it!
I was just watching Rebel News, and more HUGE trucks are pulling in to the Milk River blockade, with lots of honking and cheering. Who’d of thunk that Sparkle scolding the truckers again tonight would have this result? 😁
Was he really protesting? In the beginning it seemed he had a reason he honked. A legit reason? Also jerk with camera really amped up the situation by heckling. Old guy would try to cooperate and then Buttinski would stop him. Poor old coot and penis-less cops. Shameful!
They took it out on the Omer man instead of the one doing the agitating
GatewayPundit just posted that a federal negotiator is to meet w reps for the trucker convoy Tuesday…
If you think about it , the guy filming got the old man more incensed to the point of him being arrested . And then the coward took off !
Just facts , hated what happened .
I see both sides – the filmer was abrasive and added to the chaos, was probably addicted to utube likes but the cops looked like they liked their job. They should be doxxed if they aren’t already. Treat them like the traitors they are and shun them.
I also see both sides…but ultimately the police should not have bitten to the provocation by the old man…I am 100% trucker supporter… point against establishment.
The cop needs to be beaten into the ground and stomped on.
One cop lost it at the end when he chased off the video guy.
Cops need more disgust with what they have to do (t)here.
Fukkin aye.
Not sure about this. Don’t know Canadian law. If it was in the US. I would dive in. Don’t care what kind of ordinance gets passed. I believe in the Constitution. Do Canadians have anything that protects freedom of speech and freedom to peaceably assemble and seek redress ? The guy should have done more to help the old man. The old man was already telling the cop how he felt. We got to stop thinking someone else is going to get us out of this mess. That we can let others take the risk and pay the price. We all got to put some skin in the game.
Trying to keep it nonviolent is important – tyrannies love an excuse for cracking heads and martial law.
The protest tactics are crucial to who wildly transgressed first if there is a confrontation.
The cops should know they can be stomped by a hyped up group or prepared individuals and should avoid heavy handed tactics.
Someone should have told BLM and ANTIFA that little ditty- tyrannies love an excuse for cracking heads…because I saw them assaulting citizens and police, burning buildings, vandalizing, and destroying statues (public property)…
Cops stood by and did nothing. And to top it off, Trudeau in Canada and many American politicos showed up to take knees with those who actually were being violent. The MSM provided cover.
Here, the MSM is not covering anything other than the government’s point of view.
These cops are simply mimicking the orders given to Hitler’s SA 85 years ago..
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
— Geo Santayana
(The only difference being at that time Germany’s ‘MSM’ was under the control of Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels.)
….. Germany’s Socialist Workers Party’s ‘MSM’ was under the control of Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels …..
There was only one fascist-Marxist Socialist propagandist in Hitler’s mob but, nowadays and world-wide millions of the lying barstewards are under Goebbels’ thrall.
I don’t know why everyone is a skeered of violence. America exists as an independent land because we were unafraid to meet the Crown’s violence with even greater violence.
Hello? Canada was founded by formerly American CITIZEN SOLDIERS that fought for the Crown instead of Washington.
If I’m a goon threatening violence, the best possible outcome is for my prey to cower and do nothing effectual.
If I’m a goon my worst scenario is for my prey to counter-attack and kill me.
So we need an open and honest discussion on how far we need to go to secure our Liberty because playing DEFENSE is to lose. GUARANTEED. Do the math: a fraction of a fraction yields a small fraction yet. One must ATTACK to GAIN and HOLD LAND.
WHAT “Canadian law”..? These despotic Govts are making it up themselves as they go along!
….. despotic governments are making it up as they go along ….
Eventually, inevitably and invariably, every government – ever – with only one Exception – ever – has made it up as its gone along.
And but for the fascissocialism-psychosis-suffering, fascist-Marxist, “democrats,” We love it that way.
We have such laws on paper but over the last two years none of these rights have been respected. There are assorted court cases working their way through the system. Eventually we may get our giths back through the court system for it will take years.
…. I believe in the Constitution. Do Canadians have anything that protects freedom of speech and freedom to peaceably assemble and seek redress ….
Only Americans, in all of Human existence, are a Sovereign People. Every other “concession” to every other state’s effective ownership of its effective and/or actual subjects is made by the state and can, on its whim, be cancelled by the state
It is the simple fact of the existence of our God-Given Declaration, Constitution, Bill of Rights and Federal Papers and our Absolutely-Guaranteed Sovereignty, that makes us and Exceptional People and our beloved fraternal republic an exceptional nation.
The cop was very tolerant of the guy video taping. In the US he almost certainly would have been arrested himself for interfering with an arrest. In the US a traffic stop is considered an “arrest” although a temporary one. At least that’s what was briefed before I completed my security clearance paperwork.
So some of you are seeing both sides or blaming the video man and the old man, instead of the “rogue” police! Obviously you are morally trying to justify the police state tactics by shifting the blame on the citizens or sharing the blame around (moral relativism) and remaining aloof about what is going on in your own country! I have lived in a totalitarian state and see police state tactics when I see them. Shame on you Canadians staying on the side lines or burying the head in the sand not to see injustice and not condemn it!
The police are lying and bullying the old man. They assaulted the old man. They are bullies and fascists like their leader Trudeau.
