Police Brutality: Kicked In The Face While Complying (RCMP)

Abbotsford police plan to recommend a charge of assault against a Kelowna R-C-M-P officer in connection with a controversial arrest that was captured on video and posted to the Internet. The video of the arrest shows a Mountie kicking Buddy Tavares in the face on January 7th, as Tavares appears to be complying by lowering himself to the ground. Constable Ian MacDonald of Abbotsford police says investigators spoke to 40 witnesses and examined the video, and they'll forward their report to Crown counsel in the coming days. Yesterday's announcement came an hour before several hundred people in Kelowna rallied to protest the officer's actions.

This cop needs to do a little jail time!

[petertrast]

The man was obviously complying. Guilty of the crime or not, the cop could not possibly know for sure at that point. He just felt like kicking someone and since his wife and dog weren't there, he only had one target. He belongs in jail. PIG. (this does not apply to any of the decent RCMP out there which I have to believe and hope there are)

[DKDFG]

Fuck the cops!,burn in hell all of you!.

[Stink808]

Canada has the worst of both worlds. Socially alike to Europe with Cops like what's found in the U.S.A. That really sucks.

[edwinr360]

All of you people who commented are FUCKING JOKE! Like any one of you are doing anything to help anybody.. No, you just "mind your business" cause its not you or yours.. Until it is.. If you are not the solution, your part of the problem. Period. If you are helping, Salute and kudos to you! The rest, shut up and bow down like the good sheeple you are..

[WESTJET101]

He was fully compilent with the police, as you can see, he wan't resiting, he was on his knee's. Mantler is just the scum of the Kelowna RCMP.

I remember this, The big protest we had over it, It pissed the entire city off. I live in Kelowna and this is exactly why this city does not trust the RCMP.

[TheConsitutionBlues]

@cph173 Maybe next time you won't shut up ..

somebody will do that to you !

[TheConsitutionBlues]

@cph173 Just Because Cops Recieved a call doesn't make it so,

I saw NO gun and he was not breaking any laws when the Cops showed up !

[underterraingrunter]

It is imperative that all police understand this. You will be subjected to this treatment by all the enemies you have made through your criminal actions. We will act in unison as you act in unison. We will stand aside and support our own as you stand aside and support your own.

You have become the enemy of law-abiding people through your treacherous, criminal actions.

Always remember, you can't run away fast enough in body armour.

If anyone show me 'Good Cop' videos I'll add them to my playlist.

[killithunga]

its his job to scare geese off the golf course by shooting near them. what dumbass called the cops and said that he was "disgruntled"? really, they know cops around vancouver act like this if guns are invovled.

[SmilJan5]

@TheEnormoose sorry for the misunderstanding then. Anyway police officers think they are above everyone, That makes me sick..

[TheEnormoose]

@SmilJan5 These are RCMP, meaning Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Makes me sick thinking this happens on my home soil.

[TheEnormoose]

@gift2uma That's bullshit. I fucking care! I try and do my part to raise awareness about police misuse of force and authority. Don't paint the whole world with one brush or YOU are the problem.

[gift2uma]

if it were a black person, NONE of you would have given a shit.

[Dredgion]

oh a white man,....nooo thats not cool damn police !

[ItzNemooo]

Notice how these never happens on Cops .. cause they want you to belive police are here top rotect you , when in reality , this shit happens everyday and there's no way to stop it , the cops always win , if they say you did a crime , that you didn't commit , they won't give one fuck worthless cunts like this get me pissed ..
