The Ontario police watchdog said he found no reasonable grounds that the two Vancouver officers acted unlawfully in discharging their less-lethal weapons at the protesters
The Ontario police watchdog says two Vancouver police officers did not commit a criminal offence by shooting less-lethal rounds at two protesters during the “Freedom Convoy”' demonstration in February.
He says another Vancouver police officer shot either rubber bullets or bean bags to deter protesters from moving toward officers. Martino says he is satisfied that the officers engaged in a “reasonable and legitimate exercise of police powers” to maintain public order and safety.
