        This is OPP pretty much cheering these people on as they get to ‘Ottawa’. “Wait till you get there 😏” “I get what you guys are doing” “I support you guys 100%” Cops are not here to keep people safe. /2 pic.twitter.com/t2w7feVrFl

        Imagine what would happen if indigenous people behaved like this. There would be injuries, probably deaths & certainly long prison sentences.
