Ottawa Police defended their actions afterwards by claiming protesters showed “assaultive behavior.”
The protesters continued their assaultive behaviour with the police line, to prevent an escalation or further injury, mounted officers were sent in to create critical space between the police line and protesters. This is done to create a safe distance. pic.twitter.com/PUIj7w1rwc

As this was happening a bicycle was thrown at the feet of one of the horses in an attempt to injure it. One person was arrested for intentionally harming a police service animal.

It appears that the “bicycle” they referenced is actually the older woman’s walker whom they trampled over.
You can see from the screenshots above she still had the walker in her hands after they trampled over her.
Conservative MP Dean Allison put out a statement on Twitter condemning Tinpot Trudeau’s attacks on peaceful protesters.
“What we are seeing today is authoritarian, military style measures carried out against peaceful protesters on the orders of Justin Trudeau,” Allison said. “What’s worse, it’s all being cheered on by the Ottawa and Toronto journalist class. Absolutely sickening.”

From Information Liberation - READ ORIGINAL
Some media, including videos, may only be available to view at the original.
I have seen the video that discredits what the Ottawa police are trying to tell us… NO bicycle was tossed at a horse…
BTW, That mounted police unit was the Toronto Police Mounted unit…
Police Chief James Ramer should be so proud!
This screen grab below is a second after the police horses bulldozed the crowd.
I have seen the video that disputes what the Ottawa police are trying to say, trying to blame the protesters who have not once done an act of violence for the past 23 days…
