As you all know, there is a major demonstration taking place over the next several days here in the Nation's capital.
In fact, demonstrators have already arrived, and we have already started to manage a series of pop-up demonstrators in the core over the last 24 hours.
Police and our partners are focused on providing a safe environment for the community and demonstrators. We are aware of inappropriate and threatening language on social media related to this event. (1/2)
We welcome peaceful demonstrations. That said, public safety is paramount – there will be consequences for persons engaging in criminal conduct, violence and/or activities promoting hate. (2/2)
La police et ses partenaires s'affairent à ce que la collectivité et les manifestants puissent disposer d'un environnement sûr. Nous sommes au courant des propos déplacés et menaçants tenus dans les médias sociaux en lien avec cette manifestation. (1/2)
