The Ottawa Police are introducing violence and conflict into what has for weeks been a peaceful protest.
They are intentionally, deliberately and KNOWINGLY fomenting aggression and conflict and then BLAMING the protestors for what they themselves have brought to the streets of Ottawa.
There was NO rioting, no crowd violence, no horse trampling, no tear gas, no pepper spray, everything was peaceful until the Ottawa Police showed up and started conflict with protestors protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Ottawa Police's PRESENCE within and around and THROUGH the protestors IS ITSELF an introduction of illegal activity.
The Ottawa Police cannot logically justify its INITIAL introduction of violence as legitimate by reference to FUTURE behaviors of anyone given the environment has become unsafe and dangerous because of the Ottawa Police's activity.
This is like a thief breaking into a house, harassing and intimidating the family inside, and then claim that his activity of using force is justified because of what the family does AFTER the initial introduction of violence.
This is dialectic inversion of literal criminals claiming to be justified in their criminal activity because of how that criminal activity is responded to.
