Crown prosecutors in British Columbia have recommended no charges be laid against an RCMP officer in the beating of a 47 year-old man.
This is despite recommendations from an internal police investigation.
APTN National News reporter Tina House has this story.
Hi, I’m Indigenous Mi’kmaq L’nu. The 47 year old needs to take this to a law firm, have them, open up a case with BC Commission of Public Complaints against RCMP! We have done so, and our case went to Sgt Wells to investigate, four RCMP officers beat our then 14 year old son, until he lost his bodily functions, now living with PTSD, all of us, same morning Dec 23, 2011… 7 RCMP officers beat, kicked, applied lethal rear choke hold on me, a lethal choke hold that was banned 1979! Meanwhile 4 of our children and my wife, watched in horror, while they beat us in the kitchen and living room and our 3 youngest, watched us get kicked, elbowed, bunched, stomped, choked! We were never charged with resisting arrest because we didn’t resist! They found my medical marijuana, very little, and they justify traumatizing my children for the remainder of their lives and ours, we the parents!
I am horrified and sickened by this. When any position of power is abused – the people will suffer.This must be stopped.May God pull this family through, my prayers go out to them.
