Kelowna RCMP kicks a suspect in the head caught on tape
 

This was brutal.


stuff like this is why a lot of people in BC don't have confidence in our police

Wow that Officer should be charged himself.

Bring on the Po Po hate mongers.

Berz out.

Terrible. Even if the suspect wasn't readily complying, a boot to the face is not SOP.

Generally, I try to side with the police, but in this case it seemed like total blatant excessive force.

The guy was being arrested for driving his truck onto a golf course and firing 2 shots from his shot gun.
Loaded gun and ammo was found in his truck after the arrest though.

Sorry, missed some important info.

He was hired by the golf course to fire the shot gun to scare away the geese.
He has proper paper work to carry the gun and fire the rounds when at work.

He was on disability for head injuries he suffered in a motorcycle accident.

that's his job though, I think someone probably saw it and called it in.

i heard on the news he is hired by the golf course to scare away geese

^instead of blanketly generally trying to side with the police... why dont you come in with an unbiased and unopinionated clear head and form your own opinions based on your own values?

holy fuck

look that the blood pool lol

qft :werd:

are you asking me?

brutal... look how extended the cop's right leg is prior to contact, he definitely wanted to do harm to the guy's face

Can a cop really arrest a person at gunpoint just based off complaints?

for something serious like shots being fired i'm pretty sure they can, especially if they're sure they've found the right suspect. if you were a cop approaching a suspect who had been called in for firing shots you'd have your gun out too

hope this incident doesn't end up as another one of those administrative leave with pay incidents

also, they barely blurred out the woman who didn't want to be identified. may as well have just left it

wow so much blood

f*uck the police.

round em up, put them up against the wall. blow there heads off.

seriously you have a fucking gun pointed at someones head, you should not feel threatened, you dumbfucks.

the courts should let the victim bootfuck that cop 10 times and call it even.

FUCK PIGS

Treat and charge that cop for assault like any other normal citizen would be charged if he have done the same thing. Thats the only fair justice that can come out of this case. Why do cops get special privileges and amunities for doing stuff like this

sorry, that was to SumAznGuy, a couple of you snuck posts in before i replied.

The way the police officer had his gun drawn and made him get out of the vehicle was the correct move since the call in was shots fired and he has to take all precautions since his and everyone else's safety were in jeopardy with calls like that. That kick to the face was very highly uncalled for no questions asked. Yes the suspect wasn't moving as quick as he wanted you can tell but that gives him to right to give him a full boot to the face when he was down on all fours.

I really hope that he gets fired or even charged because that is sick especially finding out that was the suspects job and he's coming off brain damage from a previous accident.

imagine if the victim was a minority lol, racism would be written all over this thread!

What thought process would make you come to the conclusion of booting the guy in the face. From the video, it looked like the guy was following the orders, slowly getting to the ground. My guess is the suspect was probably and most likely scared shitless with the gun pointed at this head, so he slowly made his way to the ground not making any sort of quick/sudden moves with so many trigger happy policeman out there. To top things off I mean, the suspect had brain injuries or something.

I'm sure the cop as every reason to point his gun at the suspect hearing reports he had a firearm on him, but I mean, the man came out of his car, followed orders. It's not like the guy got out of the car holding the shotgun in his hand.

shits becoming a motha fuckin police state!

the cop will probably get off with paid admin leave.

You rang for ban?

That is some of the worst pixelation I've seen btw. Hard to argue for the cop judging by the pool of blood and a kick straight out of watching too much wwe perhaps... The man had his hands up from the get go and was cooperating reasonably IMO

Wow, that kick was fucking unnecessary, hopefully the cop get charged for assault instead of their usual admin paid leave..
