If you were looking for a story to really tick you off today, I have the displeasure of telling you "ya found it!"
In a shocking viral video, you can see a 78-year-old man, who is a grandfather, and barely over 5 feet tall get roughed up and arrested by Ottawa Police for honking his car horn.
I wish it wasn't true. I wish that I, along with the other 3.4 million viewers, never saw this– I really wish it never happened.
It never should have happened.
This poor man's name is Gerald H. Charlebois. He is retired, lives in Ottawa, and focuses on being a grandfather.
On February 7, he made the "mistake" of honking his horn in support of the Trucker Freedom Convoy.
The video shows the officer grabbing the old man's arm stating that he "is under arrest." There is a bit of a struggle, then Gerald falls over, gets back up, and is put into handcuffs.
He eventually was fined $110 for honking.
Since this video went viral, Rebel News had an exclusive interview with him and The Democracy Fund's lawyer David Anber has agreed to help Gerald with free legal assistance to fight the ridiculous $110 fine.
When Gerald was asked how this incident made him feel toward the Ottawa Police he said, "I used to think a lot of them but now I'm scared of them... I'm scared to go out of the house... they made me afraid."
The Democracy Fund (TDF) has also started an initiative to help fight all and any fines related to the Freedom Convoy protest by giving truckers and protesters FREE legal assistance.
This never should have happened to Gerald.
This type of police behavior is unacceptable everywhere and anywhere, let alone in a "free democracy" like Canada!
