A wounded combat veteran who served in Afghanistan told the Public Order Emergency Commission on Friday that he was arrested, beaten, and “dumped” far from downtown Ottawa without charges by police during the clearing operation of the Freedom Convoy protest on Feb. 18.
“It really wasn’t that I wanted to come to Ottawa, it’s that I felt it was my duty and I had no choice [but] to be there,” said veteran Chris Deering while explaining why he had attended the protest.
