Revision as of 02:18, February 19, 2022
The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is the municipal police force on the Ottawa side of the National Capital Region in Ontario, Canada.
The OPS had its origins in the pre-Confederation formation of the Bytown Association in 1847, with Roderick Ross becoming the first chief constable for the newly-formed Ottawa Police Department (the precursor to the OPS) in 1855. Over time, the OPD amalgamated the police forces of neighboring municipalities, starting with the Vanier Police in 1984. The OPS took its current name in 2001 with the amalgamation of several neigboring communities into Ottawa.
The OPS currently has 1,387 sworn members and 600 unsworn members in its ranks. It is currently headed by interim Chief Steve Bell, who took over following the resignation of former Chief Peter Sloly (see Controversy section below).
Controversy
- OPS Chief Peter Sloly, who had sided with Canadian Liberal dictator Justin Trudeau and similarly made false accusations against the anti-CCP flu mandate Freedom Convoy trucker protest (including accusing them, without proof, of "harmful activities" and of spreading "hatred" and "violence"), announced his resignation from his post after he was criticized for his baseless accusations.[1] His replacement, Steve Bell, announced that it was now "illegal" to peacefully protest against the government.[2]
- The OPS, speaking at Trudeau's behest, publicly claimed that anyone still protesting in Ottawa is now "breaking the law" (even though there is no law, either federally, provincially or locally, against peaceful protesting);[3] in response, members of the main protest voted to dismiss the invocation of the Emergencies Act (which Trudeau invoked on February 14, 2022 in disproportionate response to the peaceful Freedom Convoy protests[4]) as nothing more than a scare tactic utilized by Trudeau for intimidation purposes.[5]
- Trudeau began employing the OPS as his personal Gestapo to begin illegal arrests and seizures of the truckers' private property in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He started by ordering the arrests of Freedom Convoy organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich on false charges of "counseling to commit mischief" (a charge that would actually apply to the organizers of the violent riots perpetrated by Antifa, Black Lives Matter and other far-Left hate groups favored by Trudeau[6] and other corrupt leftist politicians), with Barber also being falsely charged with "counseling to disobey a court order" and "counseling to obstruct police".[7]
- The OPS, to cover up their crimes (including vandalism, assaults and the use of disproportionate force against the peaceful protesters),[8] also began making illegal threats of arrest (in violation of freedom of speech and freedom of the press) against members of the media who cover the Freedom Convoy,[9] while protesters prevented the OPS from illegally arresting another trucker;[10] in response to the OPS' threat against journalists, several constitutional rights groups condemned the force.[11]
- Hundreds more OPS officers, along with officers brought in from outside of Ottawa and from out of province, began flooding into Ottawa under orders from Trudeau to deal Gestapo-style with the Freedom Convoy and began violently clashing with protesters,[12], with there even being reports of police snipers on the rooftops of buildings near the site of the main protest.[13]
- True North journalist Andrew Lawton was pepper sprayed by OPS jackboots as part of their Trudeau-ordered Gestapo-style illegal crackdown against the Freedom Convoy; in response, Candice Malcolm, another journalist for True North, has hired a lawyer to take the OPS to court for assault and targeting of a journalist.[14]
- Several OPS jackboots gang-attacked and viciously assaulted one protester and falsely accused other protesters of "assaulting" officers and tying to "grab their guns", while Trudeau ignored the carnage he had unleashed as he tweeted about the 2022 Winter Olympics in Peking,[15] for which he was almost universally roasted on Twitter.
