Did An Officer Assault A Woman In Ottawa This Weekend During The Rolling Thunder Event.

Multiple videos have surfaced online showing an altercation between an officer and a woman in the streets of Ottawa during the Rolling Thunder event. Many people have taken to social media claiming the woman assaulted the officer. Careful review of the multiple videos seems to paint a different picture. It appears the officer shoves the woman first for no apparent reason.

Ottawa police have since made a twitter post asking for the public’s help in identifying the woman but have deleted that tweet. A second twitter post from Ottawa police says they have identified the woman. It’s unknown if the woman has been charged or if the officer is being investigated for the shove. Ottawa police stated in a press release that they charged multiple people over the weekend, including an assault on an officer.
