The cops put their hands on his wife.
They had no justification for arresting her.
He berated them as they deserved to be.
They put their hands on him.
They had no justification for arresting him, and he knew it, and he would not tolerate it.
Charges "resisting arrest". Arrest for what? Dropped.
Assaulting an officer? No. The officer put his hands on first.

It depends on the reason why the cop was putting the wife in cuffs.  He may not have been arresting her, he may have been trying to detain her for some reason.  He may have been giving them lawful commands that they were not following.  I assume he probably told them to turn off the vehicle as is standard practice.  If you don't comply with lawful orders then it's the citizens escalating things, not the cops.  OR yes maybe the cop was doing something illegal.

The chief also had a history with the RCMP, he said ""Chief Adam f--king tells you, 'I'm tired of being harassed by the RCMP.'"

There's no point in commenting on the case until it gets to court and we find out all the details of what actually happened during the encounter, what was said etc.
