The pandemic has done a number on the public's trust in the police. Over the past two years, we've seen cops arrest peaceful protesters, shut down birthday parties, and raid churches and homes of pastors who refused to comply with unconstitutional COVID mandates.
But amid the examples of truly atrocious policing, there have been some really good police officers taking a strong moral stance.
Nick Motycka is one of the good cops — he has spent 16 years in a uniform making the community safe, and he's been proud of the work he's done in his 10 years as part of Calgary's police force and the six years with the RCMP before that.
So after he saw the appalling treatment of the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protesters by law enforcement officers, he knew he had to speak up.
Nick filmed a heartfelt message that he shared with some of his colleagues in a private chat. But it didn't take long for that video to leak and go viral.
He's been a good cop, and he put his own health on the line for the safety of Canadians and is now off work for chronic PTSD. He is a soft-spoken guy.
Yet, what he saw happening in Ottawa over the weekend caused him to speak out and share his disgust with how law enforcement officers in the nation's capital were being used as political weapons against Justin Trudeau's enemies.

I’ve got some breaking news for you.

Doug Ford, the embattled Ontario premier, telephoned supporters on Thursday letting them know that he will announce tomorrow (Friday) that he is abandoning the province’s vaccine passport scheme, and that he will provide more details on Monday.
One supporter recorded the call which was provided to Rebel News. You can watch it here:
SECRET RECORDING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford will announce
tomorrow he’s 'pulling these passports'
Ford starts his call by saying he had received “about 250 [messages] as of lunch today” to scrap the passport.
“We’re pulling these passports. We’re going to get back to normal. I can’t get you the exact date, but it’s going to be very soon. I’ll be speaking over the next few days. Friday I’m going to put out a statement. Monday I’ll be giving some dates. And we’re going to move forward.”
The dramatic about-face from Ford comes as thousands of truckers across Canada have engaged in peaceful protests, including blocking the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor. Removing vaccine mandates and passports is a key demand of truckers. Public opinion has shifted dramatically during the past two weeks, with most Canadians now saying it’s time to end the lockdowns.
Thank God for the truckers.
Yours truly,

P.S. Rebel News has been covering the convoy since the beginning, when we embedded a reporter with it for the long drive from Calgary to Ottawa. The mainstream media has now joined the story, but their contribution is simply to attack the truckers and run defence for Trudeau and the lockdown premiers. Rebel News has become the go-to source for honest news on the subject.
