The Toronto Police Association came to the defence of its members after a pro-Palestinian protest on Saturday in the downtown area ended in multiple arrests and three people charged, including a woman accused of throwing horse manure at officers.
A post on the TPA’s X account said officers, away from their loved ones over the holiday weekend, are “compelled to attend these protests to ensure public safety.
On March 30, 2024, the Toronto Police stormed into the crowd of peaceful protesters unannounced, kettled people in a tight space, and attacked them with weapons, horses, pushing, and dragging individuals, causing bodily injuries and damage to personal belongings.

I’ve had 5 female Toronto police officers (& an Ottawa one) DM me (or respond when I’ve asked) re: interactions w/ male pro-Palestine protesters. This female officer handled herself brilliantly. “Vile” wouldn’t even begin to cover some of the things said to them. https://t.co/mQR86Rp5t0
