Arrest video is raising hackles
A video showing the forceful arrest of a young black man is the latest in a long string of evidence of Montreal’s not-so-fucking-finest acting on their more atavistic impulses.

It’s horrible, I saw it last night. No one deserves that but we need context, he was cuffed therefore was he resisting getting into the cruiser? The few seconds we can see from the confrontation the kid seems calm but for the cop to throw him in like that he was either resisting or the cop really was being an a-hole. Glad it was caught on tape.

He was cuffed with his hands behind his back…he can’t protect himself. Even if he was resisting, it’s too much violence to a person who can’t protect themselves… and worse, could be severely hurt by this action because he’s cuffed.
