Angry The Empire Strikes Back: Ottawa Cops Steal Fuel from Freedom Truckers
https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/police-tar...tawa-1.5769811

Quote:
Ottawa police moved to cut off fuel supplies to the "Freedom Convoy" demonstrators occupying downtown Ottawa, hours after Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency due to the ongoing demonstration.

Dozens of armed police officers and firefighters moved into a parking lot at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium on Coventry Road just before 7 p.m. Sunday, seizing 3,200 litres of fuel being stored in the parking lot.


I'm old enough to remember when we expected the police to not commit crimes.

I hope not but it’s not looking good. At this point they gotta hold out. Yeah they’ve made their point but they can’t cave.

Several politicians and media sources raised concerns that organizers and groups involved with the protest have had involvement with white nationalism, racism, Islamophobia, the QAnon conspiracy theory, and far-right groups.

They finally found tow truck drivers willing to screw over the protestors. Hopefully that tow company goes broke after this, but as it's a local Ottawa company, probably not, because the leftists that populate Ottawa support the oppressors, not the freedom convoy.

They seized two farmers' pickups that had EMPTY auxiliary fuel tanks in the beds and towed them off. This is straight up tyranny. We have fuel tanks in the back of our trucks. How else do you get fuel to off road equipment that is, well, off road.
