Saying that they had to use this kind of force because several members of the Toronto Police Service were allegedly assaulted three people in fact were charged uh in the midst of these protests that happened on Saturday night uh the one person a 24-year-old woman was charged with uh allegedly throwing
Horse manure at a police officer she was charged with assaulting a police officer a second person uh also charged by Toronto police uh for what they say was intentionally using a flag pole as a spear a third person also charged by police uh for under the highway traffic
Act for driving a a flatb truck essentially with people on the back of it protesters have in the past we know been warned about this by Toronto police when it comes to the escalation in tensions between the protesters and police you’re watching the video on your
Screen right now this is posted by the Palestinian youth movement it shows uh police pushing using their bodies essentially to push protesters to one side of the street you see officers uh on bikes then using their bicycles kind of to create a wall before uh officers on Horseback make their way down the
Streets as well uh and so certainly there’s a concern from these demonstrators that Toronto police are using excessive force in their handling of these demonstrators here’s what the organizer of these demonstrations had to say to CP24 the police have been violent towards Pro Palestinian protesters they have raided people’s homes after
Protests they have pulled people over um because they had been at protests um they have gone so far as to escalate with Marshals to Heckle people to attempt to escalate with them um to use their bikes to push Marshals over to push attendees over the atonal Police Association defending its officers of
Course saying when protesters choose to commit criminal acts they’ll be arrested either immediately or later uh adding that when protesters block roads and infrastructure it impact the ability for police officers to respond to emergency calls so 11:00 this morning we’ll hear from some of the organizers of these
Prop Palestinian demonstrations as to uh what they think uh the situation is at least from their perspective all right CB 24’s beatric Faceman thanks be

The police administration tends to be pro-Israeli/zionist which makes them complicit in the genocide which is occurring in Gaza and the West Bank. This should be obvious to anyone who is actually looking at police behaviour.
That was not excessive in Ottawa they were bashing heads with ar-15's and trampling seniors with horses ..
COKL police opened fire on a vehicle knowing a child was involved and were apparently just following procedure
Welcome to the land of greed and the home of government tax slaves
What kind of country doesnt let foreign funded protestors throw horse poop at the police ?
Deport

They have frozen bank accounts for less
Then stop protesting… don’t bring your problems here
Palestinian youth movement reminds me of another youth movement from the 1940s…

Does Ukraine still exist?……..?
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Pro-Palestinian = pro-Hamas, which is why there is was assault charges. Terrorists terrorize. Police never use force when protests are actually peaceful
So you were pushed off the road, boohoo. This is not protesting something our government did to our citizens it is about what some foreign country is doing to another foreign country so don't expect much accommodation here. Wave your signs, chant your slogans, stay out of everyone's way and everything will be fine.
They are being to nice to these terrorists.
? go home
Thanks Police!!! We had enough of this nonsense
It's called resisting arrest!
Thought it was Ramadan….assault on cops? Wow, must be a really peaceful bunch of clowns!
It's funny when extremists cry about being given extreme treatment.
Why "news" did you not cover the force on the truckers
Hmmmm
These protestors are pro HAMAS. That means they will break the law and then cry VICTIMHOOD.
not surprising. if for israel wouldnt have used this force.
free palestinr
??????????
bout time
Toronto is not a safe city anymore. Replicating New York in a smaller scale.
Not pro palestinian they are pro hamas
DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT
What a joke…they can give it but not take it..the convoy protesters were treated worst than this..sickening !
Just a thought then if they're blocking infrastructure….how come the protester's bank accounts aren't being frozen like the covid protesters? Like honestly?
Will Trudeau freeze the accounts of all involved? This is the new normal.
Why are they protesting, and who are they protesting to? What do they expect the Canadian govt to do? Issue some empty statement? Canada is entirely helpless on the world stage both military and diplomatically.
Who lets this crap go on with these lowlifes? MMMM.
They had better start getting tougher… Give no quarter to these supremacist racists.
Given what these “peaceful protesters” are doing I’m quite impressed by the restraint and professionalism of officers. Use of force is not the equivalent of excessive force. Go home if you don’t want to be held accountable for criminal actions. It’s really that simple.
not a chance these disruption are happening without the back room approval of the Liberals and NDP
once again, another peaceful demonstrator complaining about canada laws. yet, they continue to disrupt our lives day in and day out with demonstrations. no respect for canadians
We need out police more then ever, they need our support or we will loose our country.
Go protest outside of Canada, hateful protests should not be tolerated in Canada
To those fleeing persecution, terror & war Canada welcomes you, thanks JT things are so much better!
Who cares!
ACAB. Cops bring out the horsies ??? when they need to justify their bloated budget.
