Canadian Cops Watch As Radical Trans Activists Assault Lone Man Defending Kids
By Virginia Kruta
Canadian police officers appeared to simply watch — and one appeared to smile — as radical trans activists approached and then eventually assaulted a lone counter-protester wearing a sandwich board sign that read, “Children can’t consent to puberty blockers.”
Video of the incident was shared by Chris Elston (@BillboardChris), who said that he was assaulted twice at the protest, and that police did nothing. When pressed to respond, police officers suggested that he might have cut his own nose — or that he had incited the trans activists to violence by showing up with a sign that they did not like.
The first alleged assault took place, as Elston said, just seconds after he arrived at the park where the event was being held.
This was my first assault. I’d been there for seconds. It left me with a bloody nose.
My friend @pierre_barns was on his own with some hostile people, so I went to give him support and actually move us away from these insane people. pic.twitter.com/Bt9cO7poi0

“After my first assault, which occurred within seconds of my arrival, I called 911 for police. This officer arrived quickly but stayed in her car, so I walked over. She told me maybe I cut my own nose! More farcical policing ensued,” Elston tweeted.
