Does not negate that she moved herself into the position to be in the way of the horses, she didn't remove herself from their direction. She fell because she put herself in harms way.

And the horse tripped over her and the guy on the ground; if she was hurt/trampled, it was unintentional; horses can't see under themselves, after all.
Ok Ok valid points, but why were the horses there? It created room for the police line to move forward to push the protestors back as seen in all videos that the police were moving forward in conjunction with the horses charging through the protestors

I answered why horses were there before you asked.

Horses are usually brought in for protests to make room, they're mobile walls/barriers.

So yes, they're there to help police make a line/push forward.

And?

Does not negate that this woman put herself into the way of the horses and got herself shoved to the ground.

Doesn't negate that the narrative was "OMGPOLICETRAMPLEDTHISWOMAN!" for sympathy for evil police vs. 'peaceful' protesters.

She said she wanted peace and love, then got herself hurt...

No sympathy.

Has there been an update whether she has passed away?

Passed away?

Cops helped her up (second video 29 seconds, clearer view of what happened after she was knocked down) and seemed to be asking her questions (2 and 2 paramedics, or 4 cops?) and she was on her feet.

Unless she suddenly had issues she seemed well enough at the end of the video, and was goddamn lucky.

Mounted officers are a normal method for crowd control used for centuries. Is this new to you?

That's why I'm asking there are reports that she died or in the hospital they lied about a bike didn't they?

Another tweet from Ottawa police later in the evening reads, "Please note: No one has been seriously injured or passed away in any of today's police actions. Safety is our priority."

Chrystia Freeland used to work for the Washington Post.. I wonder who was behind the GiveSendGo hack and subsequent leak of names to the Washington Post..

If the Liberals grab this kind of power.. the only way this will be resolved will be with bullets and bloodshed.. the peaceful protest is gone.

The slippery slope is not a fallacy. Anyone who toboggans knows.

Another traitor to Canada that needs to be arrested and charged with crimes against humanity. (n)

“Canada Is a Police State at This Time…There’s No Rule of Law…Guns Were Drawn…They Suspended the Debate in Parliament” – Toronto Reporter​

The Charter of Rights, the Canadian Constitution and the Privacy act mean nothing to those Marxists in Ottawa and are all being violated. They could care less about rights and freedoms. Our lying Marxist politicians and the MSM have shown us all that they are not on we the peasants side. We are watching today as to what we may see in the future for Canada. Unless this Marxist dictator in Ottawa is arrested and charged with crimes against humanity what will he try to do in the next election? To be allowed to get away with what this buffoon has done can only be seen as a tyranny government that will stop at nothing to stay in control. Just saying. 😷

Who cares what Quebec protesters are doing. Besides, if they are protesting the same thing, at least it is at their Provincial capital, where it should be.
Normal procedure when doing crowd control. Why advertise your name and potentially have people showing up at your home.
Yeah I know it is hard to identify the officer on excessive force if needed in a lawsuit
