Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Thomas Carrique says protesters falsely blamed officers for escalating tensions related to an indigenous land dispute at the McKenzie Meadows development site in Caledonia.
Carrique released a video on Twitter that shows demonstrators with their faces covered approaching a parked police cruiser with two officers inside it. One demonstrator walks up to the driver’s side and starts to hit the door and window with a lacrosse stick. Another throws a rock at the windshield, cracking it, while another is seen throwing something at the car.
