As Twitchy reported, Ottawa Police used horses to disperse crowds of protesters, but a photo of an elderly woman knocked off her mobility scooter has gone viral and inspired Keith Olbermann to root for “more of this, please.”

Funny. I thought you had hit rock bottom. I was wrong.

Well, the Ottawa Police know that photo of people on the ground looks bad, and they hear your concern. No horses were injured, though.
We hear your concern for people on the ground after the horses dispersed a crowd. Anyone who fell got up and walked away. We're unaware of any injuries. A bicycle was thrown at the horse further down the line and caused the horse to trip. The horse was uninjured. pic.twitter.com/tgfsl6uxT7

We doubt the woman on the scooter got up and walked away.
If only video existed to prove or disprove this.

Don't use horses. That is insane.

Thatâs the best excuse you got? We know the truth.

That's her walker! You know what's sad? We're not safe from our own policeman anymore. pic.twitter.com/mUMlEdYNyJ

That old lady had an assault style mobility walker. We need common sense walker reform.

Old ladies in Canada can turn walkers into bikes and throw them?

EVERYONE saw video evidence of the truth.

We all see what's happening.
The whole world is watching along and it's not a good look at all.

Just because you are âunaware of any injuriesâ does not mean there were no injuries.
Plus, good luck having anyone believe you, the pictures and videos say it all.

Wow, you all must be so proud of yourself. Give yourself a pat on the back for using force to deal with the peaceful protesters. All you're doing is creating an even deeper divide between law enforcement and the people.
The people won't forget.

I canât think of a more disingenuous, authoritarian response⌠annnnd youâre still going with the lie about bicycles.

David Frum thinks a tweet from the social media team is a “police report.”
Here's the police report on the no-injury incident that is being magnified around the world as anti-vax martyrdom https://t.co/DJxXS6T1Sr
