Reminder that r/portalberni and the second mod silversurfs supports police brutality.

A video of the arrest was posted to social media, showing the arresting officer elbowing the man in the head several times.

“The video does not show the much needed context prior to the arrest, nor the observations of the officers,” Inspector Kim Bruce, Alberni’s officer in charge, said in the news release. “While use of force by police in any arrest may be disturbing to onlookers, it is important to look at the totality, rather than the result. The Criminal Code provides us with the authority to use force, and it is not something we take lightly.”

The news release says RCMP had to use force to prevent injuries.

Fucking acab, if you actually watch the video the cop is punching down a man on the ground. There’s no sweettalking out of that abuse of power. The second moderator of r/portalberni silversurfs defends cop violence, disgusting.

These morons started a camp fire during the fire ban season then fled the scene.
