You are correct. Though I would prefer to it read "In my opinion, the police won public sentiment on saturday, but lost it by the end of the weekend".
The police did a good job in some spots. however, they failed to corral the few who paraded around for a couple hours doing damage - but the next day responded with rediculous force for a different set of people who were sitting and singing O Canada. Further, their actions against the people at the temporary prison/camp, and the forceably removing people from the government park devoted to protestors all went too far. It is in our basic rights to have peaceful assembly, this was stripped from many this weekend. Heck, the media was getting beaten and terrorized by the cops.
We will all forget about it in a few days, but it was much more surprising than I ever thought it would be.
