Freedom Convoy protesters reacted with hostility when police gave them notice to disperse, an Ottawa police officer testified at the trial of protest organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber on Oct. 27.
“There was more of a crowd being formed. It was very, very hostile at that point in time, so hostile that the liaison team on the ground made the decision to pull out of the area, and we didn’t continue messaging at that time just due to the yelling and the screaming and swearing,” Sgt. Jordan Blonde said.
