You're not excused.
There's no excuse for this kind of thing, just how do you think societies get to the point where entire segments of the population get slated for oppression or even removal, it's one step at a time. And as surprising as it is I now live in a Canada where the government doesn't listen to the people anymore and the authorities actively work in ways that are doing us harm, possibly great harm.
From
your own OP.
This....
A man was asked to leave a city council meeting in Oshawa and told the plaincloths police officer standing above him to step back so he could get up. When he did the guy jumped him and his partner joined in. Now cops are attacking citizens at council meetings. I don't think the session was even underway and the guy clapped ironically or something.

...is what you take out of this (that you specifically quoted
from the article
in your OP).
At last night's meeting council was considering the findings of an investigation by the auditor general that raised concerns that city staff had misled council about a land deal.
At the end of the long meeting council voted to eliminate the auditor general's position by the end of this week.
Marimpietri said he's been in office for a decade and never witnessed a citizen being treated that way for clapping during a meeting.
"Clapping doesn't constitute a violation in which someone has to be choked out, taken down and thrown out of council chambers," he said.
As opposed to what should
really be a concern, which is this part...

...not whether or not someone was ejected from a meeting for being disruptive.
But by all means, let's all continue to focus on one man being ejected from council chambers, who may or may not have been disruptive. (If he wasn't, then by all means he was removed erroneously, if he was, then he should have been made to leave.) And, further, lets continue to compare this one incident with one of the most oppressive regimes in the history of man. I mean, being ejected from a city council meeting is virtually the same thing as being herded up and marched off to the ovens, right?
Further, we can then also continue to ignore the part where the city council of Oshawa has removed one of the most integral of positions when it comes to oversights, transparency and accountability. So what if by focusing on the removal of the citizen we are effectively aiding the council by giving them a chance to rely on this distraction? So what if this is perhaps one of the reasons why the irate citizen was possibly even there? I'm sure he doesn't care that what may have prompted him to attend the meeting in the first place is being categorically ignored in favour of an opportunity to compare the police authority in Oshawa, Ontario with the police authority of Nazi Germany.
Please, please do continue to obsfucate the real and actual problems we are or may be facing in our cities, provinces or nations by making such drastic and exaggerated comparisons. Because that's working so very well.
So keep your snide BS to yourself if you don't have anything to add that's different from the abusive crap we're getting in ever increasing amounts from on high,
If you have such an aversion to snide commentary, I'd suggest you not make any then.
