People should re-watch the dashcam footage and take note of the body language throughout the police assault. Chief Adam assumes a defensive stance and is constantly backing away to put distance between himself and the officers. The police entered that space and initiated the escalation.
What's the story behind this ? How did he behave during the traffic stop ? I've seen lots of videos where people turn a ticket into getting arrested. Hopefully this was not a case like that because those people who think laws do not apply to them are just the worst.
There's ALWAYS one of you motherfuckers.
ALWAYS one saying "he must have done something more, police wouldn't just be abusive violent assholes for the hell of it."
I don't doubt they would, I'm no lover of cops, but what's behind this ? Or do you just accept things présented to you like this in this day ? What's the back story ?
Whats behind this is the fact that cops are racist abusive pricks.
I was the victim of false arrest once. Later, I was assaulted by a cop.
The backstory to MY stories? I was in a place where a cop was, and THIS IS WHAT COPS DO. Cops FUCK with innocent people. Jesus. Wake the fuck up.
The American caste of privileged paramilitary enforcers of the status quo with little to no accountability for their actions continue to beat, harass and kill more Americans every year.
Sounds like the Police are intimidated by the First Nation Chief, that he has respect and admiration by his community. All I see is the police bullying a respected elder and his community.
I'll say the officers showed more restraint than I'm used to seeing...at first. But at the end when he's just being restrained and an officer flies out of nowhere with a lariat and it goes down hill from there? Yeeeeeah, excessive and unnecessary as hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzTD7FANfhw
Expired license plate. Being defensive against a racist police force isn't a crime. Punching someone in the head is assault and not a legitimate take down tactic. The RCMP is blatantly racist and incompetent. ASIRT is racist and incompetent.
