How about instead of being "not trained to do" neck kneelings, they be trained not to do neck kneelings.

"Appears to show"

/me: Checks videos... sees a VERY clear still from the video clear and unquestionably showing a police office with his knee on the neck of the man on the ground.

Ummmm.... right....

There were at least a dozen of those pigs and they couldn't restrain one guy? Who was he, Andre the Fucking Giant? He must have owed that pig some money I guess. By the way, did anyone see that Derek Chauvin got stabbed in prison the other week?

Former Toronto Police Services Board chair Alok Mukherjee told CBC News he was surprised to see the way the protester was restrained.
"This video seems to suggest that police officers on the ground are still doing the things they're not supposed to be doing," he said.
"I think it raises questions of how is it that there were so many police and they could not restrain one person without using knee-to-neck restraint."

lol .... even with obvious irrefutable evidence they still act surprised that they broke regulation and even laws regarding assault.

How do you expect anyone to respect authority when everyone knows that authority doesn't even want to follow their own rules ... let alone basic respect for people.

All cops are lying bastards.

Police and politicians should all have body cams. You get to make life and death decisions for the public and you are paid out of the public's wallet, you should be held accountable for every minute you are on the clock (breaks and washroom excepted). No political deal should happen without video evidence and no police interaction should go un-recorded for the protection of both the police and the public.

Interested to know when the got the PL VAR officials ruling on police video evidence. We looked at the footage, there was no knee on the neck. Beg pardon? Which footage?

So Canadian police are as bad as seppo ones?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A group of protesters who staged a rally in support of Palestinians last weekend released video Tuesday of a violent arrest that appears to show an officer kneeling on a man's neck.

"On review of available footage of this matter, we maintain that the officer did not place his knee on the suspect's neck," Stephanie Sayer, a spokesperson for the force, said in an email.

Toronto police have charged the man who was arrested with assaulting and obstructing a peace officer.

A video published on Instagram by the PYM's Toronto chapter shows multiple officers holding a person on the ground.

Former Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders came out against the practice of knee-on-neck restraint at a news conference in 2020, after the death of George Floyd in the United States.

Former Toronto Police Services Board chair Alok Mukherjee told CBC News he was surprised to see the way the protester was restrained.
