Toronto Police have warned pro-Palestinian protesters to behave, saying agitators are escalating tensions on Toronto streets in the wake of multiple arrests at a downtown demonstration last Saturday.
Police have said that, during Saturday’s protest, they seized a truck to lay a charge of stunt driving, and that protesters then “became aggressive and assaultive” toward officers. They said one woman threw horse manure at officers while another “intentionally used a flagpole to ‘spear’ at an officer.” Organizers of the rally later accused the officers of using excessive force.
Bravo TPS.
TPS "has attended hundreds of demonstrations since October 7th…cost of policing these events has now surpassed $12M dollars… there are individuals consistently involved in these protests who act as agitators, and who are becoming increasingly confrontational and violent" pic.twitter.com/ScXZRPKHsU
