Are police officers helping the “truckers” protest? [Photos]

Ottawa citizens are fed up with the so-called truckers protest against pandemic health restrictions. 

Racist banners and symbols, vandalism against homes with pro-gay rainbow flags, blocked streets and marauding trucks with horns blaring at all of hours of the day and night.

Ottawa’s Chief of Police Peter Sloly has seemed almost powerless, quipping that there was “no police solution” to the demonstration.

Images coming from Ottawa on social media suggest there are plenty of reasons to be concerned that some police officers have joined the protesters’ side.

Police officer says “nothing but good” of protests

You gotta love when the police say that they’re having a good time and it’s been “nothing but good”.

    If these protestors were FN people protesting over a pipeline going through their land they would have had a RCMP in day 1. If this was BLM protest, they would have been arrests made immediately.
    If this was the G7 there would have been tear gas thrown at students!
    But police Gear are taking selfies and giving food??
