    Toronto Police respond

    The Toronto Police Service has responded to these claims by accusing protesters of aggression against police, including flinging horse manure at officers and using a flagpole “to spear at an officer.”

    A truck driver was charged at the protest under the Highway Safety Act, for allegedly operating a truck with occupants in the bed of the moving vehicle. Protesters call this selective enforcement.

    Why is it that “peaceful protests” never seem to actually be peaceful, or lawful?
