OR yes maybe the cop was doing something illegal.
Ya, maybe ... like a setup.
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.'"
The RCMP have a "history" of harassing the Chief.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.
It won't make it to court. *Yelling and swearing at police is not illegal.
No grounds for arrest.
* An out of date plate sticker may deserve a ticket.
No grounds for arrest.
* Resisting arrest is not a legitimate charge if there are
no grounds for arrest.It gets thrown out before court,
no reasonable prospect of conviction. *Assaulting a police officer is not a legitimate charge if the officer put hands on him first
with no grounds for arrest.What you have here is a setup, an old-fashioned police trick mostly abandoned by police forces because it is usually thrown out of court now.
This is an old and worn out setup for harassing Indigenous people, nothing more.
I'm not sure what charges can be laid against police, but I look forward to seeing them go down.
This is perhaps where the RCMP begin to learn that what is still common practice to them is systemic racism, unprofessional conduct and brutal assault to most people.
