The size alone of the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests wasn’t what rendered them unmanageable for local authorities, according to Ottawa’s interim police chief — it was the “unlawful” activities and “trauma” that resulted for the community.
Speaking to the Public Order Emergency Commission during a hearing on Monday, Steve Bell said Ottawa’s police service is used to handling “prolonged” and “protracted” protests.
A Honkocaust of trauma!
