Its illegal to touch a police officer, for any reason. THey clearly just wanted him away from her, so thats not true. Go look at how many years protestors at the G20 spent in jail.
I experienced corruption from rcmp in Alberta. There is even a youtube video of an rcmp sheriff saying "I do it because I can", in regards to a request of Passport from a passenger in a car during a traffic stop.
Apparently it's especially "illegal" to ask tough questions to a deputy prime Minister who should be bright enough to answer off the cuff. My how far our politicians have fallen......
Uhm......they take that dump 100s times per day. Nobody will ever know about it, and if you mention it in court, it gets brushed off as not appropriate thing to say in court
The RCMP are now "reviewing" that Officer's actions. There is no denying it.. Anyone who honestly reviews that video can clearly see the Officer actually LEANS in to essentially shoulder butt Menzies!.. like wth is this nonsense. Whether you like Menzies or not is completely irrelevant here. That Officer clearly attempted to orchestrate a false arrest (for whatever reasons) and this needs to be investigated.
DUring the G20 protest a national post photographer with his credentials plainly obvious was arrested, also beaten by police, also kicked by police while on the ground. Guess who was Prime Minister during the G20 protests.
@@de1623Glad you asked that question. Look up the history of the RCMP and you'll understand the situation better. Look up Northwest Mounted Police. Look up Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Parti Québecois. Look up RCMP and homosexuals. I kid you not. The history is pretty spotty.
He wasn't charged? Then he was illegally detained on a pretext, which is pretty obvious from the video. Accidentally bumping into someone is not "assault", but what the police did to Menzies, without grounds for arrest, is.
What's worse is it wasn't accidental. The RCMP officer intentionally and suddenly put his arm in David's path. The officer intentionally caused the initial contact, and then the officer assaulted David. The officer refused to identify himself, further blurring any clarity on whether David was legitimately dealing with law enforcement. The officer should be personally named as well as the government in a lawsuit.
Cop was wrong totally but I'd bet dollars to donuts that no lawsuit comes of this since no charges were actually laid and all those legal donations go into someone's pocket.
Sad state of affairs when the RCMP feels entitled to assault a journalist while doing his job. Says all you need to know that the cop immediately refused to follow through on the charges. Had nothing to do with an assault, had everything to do with intimidating journalists.
Disgusting behaviour , that of a BULLY in a school yard . If they don’t fire him we have a problem . It was in full view for all to see and on film . Now we know if film didn’t exist this journalist would be sitting in a jail cell . Again disgusting behaviour on behalf of the RCMP . Losing RESPECT!
Thats odd, there have been at least SIX events in the past four years where RCMP have literally admitted to trampling constitutional rights, and you think temporarily holding a reporter is a bigger deal?
I thought, by law, the police can not release the person just arrested without proper procedure and documentation. Otherwise, they can arrest anyone and release at will.
That RCMP officer definitely entrapped that guy. He purposely walked straight towards him and bumped him then immediately accusing the other guy of assault. Absolutely dispicable. It's all on Video. I'm no lawyer but I would think this guy has a great case against that officer. I respect law enforcement 💯 but not when they pull stunts like this. At the same time with all the wackos out there in the general public I understand politicians and their security being a little paranoid and extra careful but come on that was just a dirty stunt.
The RCMP Officer did not "entrap" the reporter...the RCMP Officer intentionally assaulted the reporter...it is the RCMP Officer who committed the crime.
I don't respect law enforcement any more. We all saw how they went from serving and protecting the public to serving and protecting politicians and big pharma. They are never to be trusted again.
That's literally NOT the definition of entrapment, for one. And for two, your biased eyes ignores that he was doing his job to intervene with someone harassing the lady, and your biased eyes is ignoring him elbowing the officer.

Anybody with any common sense or courtesy would have stepped aside seeing Menzies walking backwards towards them while engaged in his activities as a journalist... the RCMP officer stood there watching that deliberately to get Menzies to walk into him. Shameful.
@@Tammy-td5ok Come on! You're funny. The cop should have refused to do Freeland's dirty work though. Since when is icing nosey reporters the security detail's job? That's the Gestapo's job, isn't it?

A clearly contrived and pre-planned strategy to which Freeland seemingly is well aware of. This action alone should secure a successful prosecution.
You haven't figured out yet that the "aide" was, in fact, Freeland's bodyguard, also in the RCMP security detail? Guess what? Women can be cops these days. A female cop in plain clothes is hiding in plain sight apparently. I want her name and badge number, too.
@@kanuduh5234 Entrapment means you set the person arrested up to doing something illegal. Here, David Menzies did nothing wrong so how can you claim entrapment? Of course, I don't condone this bust, but it's not entrapment. It's a false arrest with the cop making false statements for why David Menzies is being arrested. His statements make no sense. David Menzies walks into the arm of a plain clothes cop and doesn't even know that the guy is a cop at the time. How can that be "assault of a police officer"? Someone says David Menzies is under the influence. If he was, then, the cops could have easily arrested him for being intoxicated in a public place and easily make that charge stick. Obviously, then, David Menzies was not intoxicated.

Why did the York Police Department willingly go along with this sham arrest. They knew it was unjustified and without merit but participated in the arrest only to take Menzies away and release him with no charges. If they recognized this was a false arrest they should have told the RCMP security detail to immediately let him go and possibly looked at charging that officer with assault based on his actions.
No matter how you feel about this reporter personally, you should be very concerned that someone can be jailed for attempting to have difficult questions answered. The morality of a person/group can be determined by their ability to treat someone they hate fairly.
It appeared to me that the RCMP officer moved in front of David and bumped into him. The police were obviously following instructions and the only question is instructions from whom? My guess is the orders were sent down from the PMO's office.

Why did the York Police Department willingly go along with this sham arrest. They knew it was unjustified and without merit but participated in the arrest only to take Menzies away and release him with no charges. If they recognized this was a false arrest they should have told the RCMP security detail to immediately let him go and possibly looked at charging that officer with assault based on his actions.
No matter how you feel about this reporter personally, you should be very concerned that someone can be jailed for attempting to have difficult questions answered.
The morality of a person/group can be determined by their ability to treat someone they hate fairly.
It appeared to me that the RCMP officer moved in front of David and bumped into him. The police were obviously following instructions and the only question is instructions from whom? My guess is the orders were sent down from the PMO's office.
Oh, yeah! It would come from the very top. I wonder where they trained.
