On this episode of Hold The F#ck Down, I sit down with a man who has been in the anti-police protest movement for a long time. He is a former police officer who served time in prison for his role in a riot that took place in Canada's capital, Ottawa, Canada in 2011. We discuss the events of that day, and why he believes the government used excessive force against peaceful protesters.
