OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Police arrested scores of demonstrators and towed away vehicles Friday in Canada’s besieged capital, and a stream of trucks started leaving under the pressure, raising authorities’ hopes for an end to the three-week protest against the country’s COVID-19 restrictions.
By evening, at least 100 people had been arrested, mostly on mischief charges, and nearly two dozen vehicles had been towed, including all of those blocking one of the city’s major streets, authorities said. One officer had a minor injury, but no protesters were hurt, interim Ottawa Police Chief Steve Bell said.
Police “continue to push forward to take control of our streets,” he said, adding: “We will work day and night until this is completed.”
Those arrested included four protest leaders. One received bail while the others remained jailed.
The crackdown on the self-styled Freedom Convoy began in the morning, when hundreds of police, some in riot gear and some carrying automatic weapons, descended into the protest zone and began leading demonstrators away in handcuffs through the snowy streets as holdout truckers blared their horns.

This is how they treat peaceful protesters.
Freedom is dead in Canada.
THIS IS ALL BECAUSE THE TRUCKERS DO NOT WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO FORCE THEM TO BE INJECTED WITH SOMETHING THAT MAY HARM OR KILL THEM-WHICH IS EVEN MORE EVIDENCE OF A TOTALITARIAN GOVERMENT TAKING OVER! WTF UP CANADIANS AND THE WORLD!
Never give up your guns.
The police actions should be documented for Nuremberg II. Following orders won’t work for a defense. Their predecessors tried it already in Nuremberg I.
Unsaid is the fact that they are taking their children and euthanizing their dogs.
If they get away with this, we will face the same fate.
Je suis Canadian
*** I wonder how long they’ll have to stay in Trudope’s Dungeons? ***
Probably 9 Days so they can kill their pets

Attention animal owners at demonstration
If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished.
I don’t know if it’s accurate, but I read the woman in the brown jacket is dead.
Note: It was 15 below zero but they did find a ride back into town a few hours later.
Police should REFUSE to carry out these outrageous measures.
The TRUCKS are being confiscated also, remember! The life of the trucker will be ruined by his government, and his vehicle will be handed over to some mope from Honduras to keep the shelves stocked for these parasites.
The police are not on our side.
Many protesters were hurt. A military vet who was crippled was kicked in the legs and injured. Horses trampled people and a woman with a walker was trampled and had a broken back. I heard she died.
Yes, it was planned based on the January 6th attack against peaceful Americans.
Only protesters that advance the Globalist narrative and agenda have that right.
All others will be punished.
Severely.
A livestream I was looking at around 5pm pst said there was one dead.
Unconfirmed at this point.
Their lives were already ruined because they had not been allowed to make a living. That’s what pushed them to be there. They stayed because they had nowhere to go.
This is the proof-of-concept for what they are going to do to the rest of us if we let them.
bad optics...
Time to take their trucks home and take a vacation.
I’ll be glad to donate again so they can.
I think the person in the brown coat is a man. Someone wearing his type of coat appeared to be between two horses.
There's a person in a red coat lying on the ground. Looks like this person was knocked off the wheelchair. Were ambulances called?
We have our J6
Canada has their F18
