OTTAWA'S POLICE 🚨 CHIEF SAYS RESPONSE TO THE PROTEST HAS BEEN A SUCCESS. Thou Not Everyone Agrees.

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: Ottawa's police chief says his force's response to the convoy protest has been a "success," but some critics say he's ignoring multiple reports of harassment, vandalism and assault that have plagued the capital's downtown core since Friday.



Chief Peter Sloly says the response has achieved its most important goals.



"The question was, is the bar of success, no riots, no injuries, no death? Absolutely," he said earlier this week. 



Many anti-vaccine mandate protesters remain in the downtown core, with big rigs and other trucks along major roads, forcing the shutdown of many businesses over safety concerns. People who live in the core say the truck horns are blaring into all hours of the night and starting again early in the morning.



Several protesters have been accused of violence, harassment, racism and homophobia. Ottawa paramedics have also confirmed rocks and verbal abuse were hurled at an ambulance and first responders over the weekend.



While some residents have praised the officers' efforts, others accuse police of employing a racial double standard.
