The occupation was ended with relatively few incidents of violence. Protestors that were assaulting police and grabbing weapons were met with force. Mounted police are very effective at moving and dispersing crowds.
In many protests in other countries the water cannons, tear gas, pepper spray and billy clubs get used a whole lot more that they were in Ottawa.
It's unfortunate that some protestors ignored the 2 days of notices that they were part of an illegal occupation and would be arrested if they didn't leave.
Just like bringing kids to an occupation as a human shield, someone assisted an elderly woman in a walker to be part of a illegal occupation? What kind of people put children and the elderly in harms way?
Hopefully they are okay.
