I'm surprised how many (white) people have approached me in shock and surprise at what the police are doing to "innocent protestors" including the use of directed energy weapons.

And I just kept telling them that this is nothing new and the only difference is the emergencies act was being called up because the cops sided with the protestors initially (this time). The shoe has fallen off the other foot and I wonder if this kind of thing might be what causes police reform to happen now that privileged white people are facing what everyone else has had to deal with for decades.

I've seen too many scenarios where people who really needed police help never got it and their case was basically buried because the cops didn't give a gently caress. But when someone innocent or weak is just trying to advocate for their cause you get hosed.

It's obvious that white people in this country don't care about anyone who isn't white or rich and would happily trample on their rights without a care in the world until the pendulum swings the opposite way and they suddenly remember all the civil liberties we supposedly have.

So far on the CBC stream they've been reporting officers from the RCMP, OPP, Surete du Quebec, Toronto, Durham Region, York Region, Sudbury, and even Vancouver. I'd imagine the OPS presence is very diluted right now.

Protesters seem to be putting up more of a fight now, Police are having to physically push them back. Sounds like they’re getting close to the war memorial now.

They seem to have cleared them of the area with most of the trucks, and now it's just cops and people face to face.

Having watched other protests it's unbelievable what these people are getting away with. They've pulled a cop out into the crowd and the other cops are just :shrug:

e: mouthy dude's stream froze at this.

The arrest count will start rolling if they start pushing too much. Cops are progressing meters per meters like a tide.

I gotta say, though. They look hilariously goofy in their dark green jump suit and big rear end helmet. In contrast with the rest of the push, that is.

It wouldn’t surprise me, they just mentioned on the livestream someone was trying to take the cops weapons which is probably what triggered that horse push earlier.

Yeah not a big fan of that aggregate -- not sure whether that Portland Andy guy is a libertarian nutjob or not, but his stream sure seems to attract them.

This aggregate is from someone who I believe actually lives in Ottawa, and is soundly against the protests. The chat's a lot quieter but also better, and they're picking audio carefully so as not to overemphasise the asshats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFjwyILNHdY

It's actually a bit fascinating looking at the differences between OPP and SQ for riot control, since they are side by side. I'm more used to the drones with face shields/batons hitting indiscriminately, OPP seems to opt for more casually dressed, unarmed officers with a bunch of heavily armed police in the back.
