OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A member of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is being charged with discreditable conduct by her police force because she financially supported to the Freedom Convoy despite her donation happening well before police cleared out the convoy.
According to a True North report, the OPS claims that its own Constable Kristina Neilson had given money to the Freedom Convoy on February 5. Because of this, it was an act done “in a disorderly manner,” the OPS claims.
The OPS said Neilson knew she was supporting what the force had called an “illegal occupation.”
However, on February 5, there had yet to be any police action taken against the Freedom Convoy.
Neilson on September 15 appeared before a disciplinary hearing to face charges of one count of discreditable conduct.
According to local Ottawa media, Neilson did not submit a plea, but she will have another hearing later this month.
During Neilson’s hearing, union representative Patrick Laflamme noted that she wanted to quickly resolve the matter as it was causing stress.
The OPS said that Neilson, if found guilty of misconduct, could be demoted or even fired.
