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.

Seems context is crucial here. I'm interested in hearing what could possibly make this acceptable.

No no, I'll wait.

Not sure if there is ever a time someone should be standing on someone's chest... There are better ways and those methods are the ones they train.

All cops are vindictive assholes all of the time.
