#FreedomConvoy2022 just show up in #yeg and counter protesters are rocking it!
The Glenora Club security is telling at counter protesters to get off the road
The convoy is mad honking now lol
Lots of people driving by to scheer on the counter protesters
Chanting going on rn. Watch the live up top of the 🧵
Captain Canada trying to start shit
A group of counter-counter protesters has shown up across the street to counter the counter protest at Royal Glenora Club. Come show support for the #FreedomConvoy2022 counterprotesters
Cops showed up to try to move the counter protest. Watch it live up top
The convoy is so mad they're not allowed to block traffic they called the cops lol
Gonna walk the road and see how many trucks are blocked
Overheard cops on radio. Gonna try to talk with counter protest organizers and move them along
Telling them to gtfo the road or face force. If non compliance then arrest. Watch live up top for more
Cops show up faster to remove peaceful counter protests than when responding to an violent crime. Watch love up top
Cops brought a van to move peaceful counter protesters so racist convoy protesters can continue disrupting traffic in Edmonton
Cop camera guy. I think he's getting ready in case theres arrests?
Traffic safety arrests. Mischief is being threatened. "Several acts" they can use to enforce. But "we're not trying to disperse you"
Cos are coming in soon if they dont move
I suspect another 20 mins. Gonna try to find put from the cops. So far the camera guy isn't very helpful with info. As we are
"Yeah let's go nurses!!!"
Cops are mobilizing
The "about to beat up peaceful protesters" patrol aka @edmontonpolice
Organizers said 1 hour and cops said no while they are blaming the drone that the #FreedomConvoy2022 brought and are illegally using. Whatever they can make up to move everyone
Overheard and org/cop convo and orgs say they're not leaving until team 2 of cops shows up with force
Cop giving orders for marching police in front of the counter protest
This is gonna be interesting. Pretty sure the counter protesters will move at the last minute though
Lol the counter counter protest formed their own line
This truck was driving with his phone in his hand. This cop saw. I told him. He didnt give a fuck about someone breaking a real law
The counter protest got moved. The cops are keeping groups separated
Cops forming a line to protect the convoy. Most peaceful protesters have left. The convoy is slowly moving
Convo driving by. Literally the first truck is honking his way down Rover Valley Road and the cops dont give a fuck
That's it for me. Join me the next time these guys decide to steal my Saturday morning cartoon day
Forgot to mention: I forgot to ask organizers who the "group" was that organized the counter protest. I'm sure the cops will let us know. I'll see if my sources know anything
