The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) confirmed it has launched an investigation into the arrest that happened Jan. 31 in Mosakahiken Cree Nation.
A portion of that arrest was captured on video and has since been shared on social media. It shows an officer standing on a man’s chest. The man, whose hands appear to be restrained behind his back, is heard yelling about his heart.
In a release, RCMP said they are aware of the video but said it shows a “small portion” of the arrest, and confirmed the IIU had been notified.
This should lead to immediate termination of the Officers involved. There is never a reason to do this as a police officer, and having it happen once is too much.
There has been worse events and the RCMP never face consequences. We need more French blood, where people take to the streets until change happens
The RCMP aren’t a problem in Quebec?
Nope, because Quebec has its own provincial police force – the Sûreté du Québec – just like Ontario has the OPP instead of the RCMP.
Having lived in Ottawa and been cautioned not to mess up and have to talk to the SQ as an Anglo, after having the “OPies are RCMP washouts” talk, I hope you’re not holding either as a metric by which any success should be measured.
Nope. Just clarifying which PDs are in charge of which areas.
As always, ACAB.

Their power in Quebec is limited, ie: they don’t do traffic stops, etc.
I give you a direct source and you give me a wikipedia page?
Go troll elsewhere, we are done here.
HellsBelle isn’t even trolling here.
The RCMP does exist in Québec, but the vast majority of enforcement is done by the SQ.
Here, an arrest like the one in the OP would most likely be done by the SQ and not by the RCMP.
“Vast majority” and “Most likely” supports my point, so thank you for the assist in demonstrating that 100% of provincial policing is not done by the SQ.
I mean France French, not Canadians. Canadians are docile compared to Europeans
Where do you believe people from Quebec got their “French blood” from, and what makes you believe that you aren’t being an ignorant bigot right now?
Have you seen people from Quebec storming the Parliament? Have you watched France’s protests. Big difference between cultures even though they are a lineage. Genetics is not the only thing that defines a people, adopted culture is.
Doubling down on bigotry I see. We are done here.
How is any of this bigotry? I think you are confused, and the downvotes support my conclusion. The French in France are known to rebel, there is a history. Canadian French might be passionate but they are still passive apathetic Canadians like the rest of us in Canada as a whole. Can not see how you find bigotry here. Absolutely ridiculous conclusion.
You are making broad generalizations about entire countries and continents. You have compared the entire population of Canada to the entire population of a continent with numerous countries and ideologies using those broad generalizations, as well as comparing the entire country to a single province with clear cultural differences. There is a history of violence in Quebec as well, which you need to ignore in order to make your prejudiced opinions work.
Hope that helps.
