Teenage girl tackled, injured by Edmonton police officer in case of mistaken identity

- An Edmonton girl fought for her life, fearing she was being abducted to be trafficked - but it turns out her would-be captors were Edmonton Police Service officers who mistook her for the suspect in a nearby domestic violence call.
Haylie Nahamko-White had just gotten off work on Monday, Nov. 13. She was walking towards Londonderry Mall in north Edmonton, and about to cross 137th Avenue at 68th Street to meet her boyfriend.
It was 10:30 p.m., pitch dark outside. She was on the phone with her partner, who was parked across the street.
“I had an unmarked SUV pull up to me and they said they were police. I didn’t see any logos or nothing. They didn’t turn on their lights at all,” Nahamko-White said Thursday.
The 17-year-old said a man in the vehicle told her if she fled, he would deploy his taser on her. She panicked and ran.

You're rolling around town with no uniform in an unmarked car *and then you act shocked when people don't believe you are the police???*
Tell me about it. Just imagine what others have been going through for decades without social media and the news being involved. As my saying goes. If you ignore it happening to others. It will one day happen to you or someone close.
A woman refused to leave a house so they thought it was this girlnwalking down the sidewalk ? Im confused.
That was my first thought also - doesn't add up at all. What were they really doing?
Maybe, because it's easier to grab someone defenseless on the sidewalk than besiege a house with unknown variables.
Right!
A story they made up after the fact - when she made enough fuss trying to get away it.
Lucky she didn't become one of the thousands of missing/murdered women and girls.
even if it was her. okay, she left? lmfao why tackle her?
Sorry doesn't cut it. Sue them. That is outrageous.
Criminal charges. Bet the 'woman' was miles away and looked nothing like a young girl!
Good luck suing the cops here
@@CrooKdLetterJ She could at least ask them to pay her as an apology for the physical and mental pain they caused her
@@CrooKdLetterJ
Qualified immunity is not a doctrine directly applicable to Canadian police and law enforcement officials. Instead, peace officers (which includes police and many other public officials) are afforded protection as a statutory right. Section 25(1)(b), (3), and (4) of the Criminal Code outlines these protections.
Section 25 allows police officers to carry out their duties, especially when people are non-compliant with laws or actively resist police trying to enforce laws. It’s what gives police the authority to arrest, use force, or search people or places. As long as the actions of the police are reasonable in the execution of their duty, they are protected.
This is not to say that police are immune from being charged criminally or sued civilly - far from it. In fact, in Hill v. Hamilton-Wentworth Police the Supreme Court rejected immunity for police in cases of investigative negligence. Police are not above the law or enabled to break the law, except where authorized in specific investigations under s. 25.1. Police officers in Canada are investigated for enforcement-related conduct - mainly when force is used that injures or causes death. However, the statutory protections under the Criminal Code provide a defence for officers subject to criminal or civil proceedings. The reasonableness of an officer’s actions allows courts and independent investigative units to make a determination of whether the officer’s actions were reasonable in the circumstances.
she's definitely getting a payout.... it just a question of which lawyer and how much?
Disgusting. Fired immediately. I hope she wins in court
A lone woman, late at night, accosted by men, unmarked vehicle..... only a fool wouldnt run. Slow clap EPS, winning hearts and minds everyday with extreme ineptitude.
Chief: "We've investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing". Poor girl will never mentally recover from this.
Imagine. I had a conversation with a cab driver that Canada can be proud that in most neighborhoods young women can walk at night without the threat of attacks or become a victim. I lived in many communities in my city and see women walking to their homes or other destinations with confidence. Now they have to worry about police officers. Sad.
I hear ya, here is edmonton's finest trying to traffic a young women, they just got caught this time
Sue them!!!
Cough, cough, Richard picton. He had government officials, the pol1ce(Rcmp) and Bikers on his side.
What would these cops do if they were walking alone at night and an unmarked car full of unidentified people pulled up on them?
This is absolutely terrible. Just saying "we're police" doesn't mean a damn thing to a scared kid out on her own. An unmarked police vehicle is unmarked to intentionally hide the identity of the police so her not immediately believing it's the police seems like a rational response to me. You would think procedure would be lights, hats and uniforms on to clearly identify who they as soon as they interact with anyone instead of imitating what a kidnapper would do.
There was a guy in Nova Scotia who had the car, uniform and badge who shot up the whole area resulting in the worse mass shooting in Canada. So " Hey we are police stop" in an unmarked car does not amount to a hill of beans to this girl. Had it been me I would run and not look back.
Not brainless..Far, far worse.
You better believe the cops can lie and produce false claims after the fact to protect the rspists within!
In NL, they are a rspe gang!
Something is either shady regarding the officers or this report has floppy sides
Few cases in America. where criminals said they were fbi and end up muydering people.
This is why no nock and non uniform officer's should be illegal. Because if you defend yourself against such individuals not knowing who they are. You are 100% in the wrong.
The stupidity and incompetence in this world never ceases to amaze me.
Worse.. evil.
Tell me about it
To go to them for help? I wouldn’t trust the police even if my life depended on it
I FEEL THE SAME,,AND THAT IS FROM EXPERIENCE, CANT TRUST THEM NOW DAYS
Nope. Eps is trash.
Get a good lawyer and sue! Unacceptable
Lawsuit time!
Who do you think pays that out?
@@frankvonfrauner Who cares, she should get paid and the cops should be fired.
@@bobstock4004100%
get it out of cops
pay cheque@@frankvonfrauner
You’re going to pay the same taxes no matter what. There is a set amount of money put aside in a police budget for lawsuits. The money is already spent once it’s put aside.
This is incredibly disturbing. Shame on the police
shame on the girl
she had it coming@@Rocksteady246
@@JessT-vg7ib Found the incel.
For what exactly? the girl did nothing wrong@@JessT-vg7ib
Monsters love badges and uniforms..Heros - not!
Imagine how detached from reality if a police officer can’t even realize that if your not in uniform or in a police car, why would anyone believe a stranger telling them to get in the car?
The ego they must have had. To not even formally investigate first if she was the suspect. Or assume everyone should know they are a cop out of uniform if they say so without proof.
People being calling this behavior out for decades. But what do people do ignores it and trow more cash at the departments.
Edmonton is a cold miserable place to live
I do not understand how this could have happened. That poor girl will need counselling.
Look up Sarah Everhard, Chantal Moore, Breonna Taylor, Regis Korchinski-Paguet...
@@copwatchnl2618Exactly. Most only pay attention when it hit close to home.
Why would cops responding to a domestic violence call go in an unmarked car though?
They don't. It's a surveillance vehicle. Lies and cover-up. That poor kid!
I have same questions for the cops who ambushed that guy in the Toronto parking garage now there trying to put him in jail for reckless manslaughter 😆
Sometimes it’s so they aren’t as noticeable when they come up because the person could have called 911 without them knowing so it doesn’t worsen the situation.
Get a lawyer.
they need money for that
Absolutely unacceptable!
If this was my daughter, I would be furious, and I would have that officer's badge!
They should have identified themselves as police from the start and approached her calmly. This behavior makes the police look like thugs.
They definitely should've read her body language better. Sooner or later, they need to take accountability for hurting her and give her a large sum of money or have the officer who hurt her fired and sent to jail.
This isn't the first or will it be the last. Too many people approve of this sort of behavior when it happens to others.
The woman who wouldn't leave the house was walking outside?
It was a case of mistaken identity dude. Soom after I moved to my present home just before the pandemic was declared in 2019 2 police showed up at my home only to look surprised when I opened the door. They had the wrong person maybe at the right adress after some homeless people had been living in the garage on that property for awhile before I moved in. Well at least I didn't get shot a couple of times like that one landlord here in Edmonton, Alberta Canada who owned over 100 properties here. Some people here in Edmonton liked him. Others hated him.
Unacceptable! That poor girl thought she was getting kidnapped and probably killed 🤦🏼♀️ how dumb are those police?
These cops are predators. Bet the 'woman' was miles away and looks nothing like this child walking alone. Dirty cops protect dirty cops - always.
I genuinely feel that they were actually trying to kidnap her for the means of trafficking.
They did not properly identify. The Edmonton police need serious retraining. Very poor leadership no excuses.
Retraining doesn't work when you're talking about pscho/sickos.
@copwatchnl2618 from all your nasty comments here about police officers in general, it would show your integrity if you never call them for help.
Sue! Sue! Sue!
My question: How are the Edmonton police going to meaningfully respond to rebuild the trust they actively stole?
This is extremely disturbing, police need to show the public they're committed to doing better & not just say a cheap, hollow "sorry".
Purge the force and change the training they receive. They are currently taught to dominate the situation.
@@BigBore525x Absolutely, I always wonder about the mental health of said police.
Many come from broken homes where violence was normalized, some have a background of being bullies as children.
The police in many of their eyes are heroic, while they actively ignore all the social dysfunction within their ranks.
@Rocksteady246 I know the truth hurts.
I personally know of a number of officers that come from broken homes, that have not dealt with their own mental health issues.
Strapping a gun to someone & putting them into a position of authority as they carry around all their previous mental baggage is a pressure cooker, and a precursor to a mental break.
@Rocksteady246 Speaking of "sticking to what you understand"... Who trains the RCMP? Where and who do they get their curriculum from? How does this curriculum differ from that taught in the US? What de-escalation tactics were used when this unmarked car, non-uniform, non badge wearing police assaulted this child? You are claiming what I'm saying isn't true, what evidence do you have to back that up? Verifiable, searchable claims, please.
@Rocksteady246 So no intention of answering ANY of the questions, huh? I'll ask a second time. Who trains the RCMP? Where and who do they get their curriculum from? How does this curriculum differ from that taught in the US? What de-escalation tactics were used when this unmarked car, non-uniform, non badge wearing police assaulted this child? What verifiable and searchable evidence do you have to back up your claim that what I'm saying isn't true? I'm taking you at face value and assuming you are arguing in good faith. I'll add this question to the mix as well... What does my profession have to do with any of the questions above?
An unmarked vehicle shouldn't even be able to make a traffic stop without allowing the driver the opportunity to drive to a safe location. Many jurisdictions have implemented this due to the number of police impersonations and it should be done right across Canada. Not just because of impersonators either. There are way too many cops who get violent far too easily. Getting to a place where EVERYONE can be safe.
We are not mind readers
We gave them this power. When other call it out many ignores it or try to shun those people. But when it hit close to home. Everyone seems to notice.
@@John-bu2xt Experience is convincing, certainly, but it is not so much we gave it, they took it bit by bit and in the confusion of division and disinterest, we failed to properly monitor the cookie jar and account for the cookies. We were gaslighted and manipulated into a false sense, they could slowly change the dynamics of lent authority.
Now they have control over everything and taking any control back will be an unprecedented task, but not for war.
The circular nature of lent authority has turned into parental, top down, do as I say - not as I do.
Horrible situation, great sympathy for mom and daughter.
And the daughter.
I moved away from Edmonton in 2007 it was by far the best thing I've ever done in my entire life!
There is no worse city to live in in Canada than Edmonton!
It has zero redeeming qualities!
I bet after you left ,crime dropped 🤡
@@jimedge8301Crime in Edmonton is skyrocketing. A security guard was just murdered!
@@truckerwayne geez someone needs to recognize sarcasm 🙄
I was a witness to something years ago and EPS ended up putting my life in danger to catch the guy. They admitted that the officer in question made mistakes & needed more training. So they sent me to some type of EPS provided counselling to try to prevent me from suing them…
They wanted this “dangerous guy” so much that they were willing to put other citizens at risk to get him. When I expressed my concerns with the danger they put me in, I was told “that I did the right thing” to prevent others from getting hurt and that “I shouldn’t worry because crimes of retribution aren’t that common”…
Thanks EPS!🤬 I was terrified in my home for a year until this got sorted.
This is the only city I’ve personally ever seen to have permanent “we’re hiring” police billboards all over - says a lot!
Cops lie
I would assume it is their job to properly identify themselves as police
Regardless even if they did, a lone girl at night being accosted by men in an unmarked vehicle, any woman with any sense whatsoever would fear she was being kidnapped or worse. Natural fight or flight response takes over.
@@Mr.Canuckand the behaviour from these officers could be making it more dangerous for victims. This approach needs improvement because nobody should be encouraged to risk their safety. Officers need to be apparent when approaching to interact with a person.
They could have approached her slowly and identified themselves with badges from a distance. But they were ore concerned about using speed, surprise, nd violence of action to catch the "perp" before sh ran or shot them. And, BTW, Haley looked absolutely nothing like the description they were looking for. Go Tom Engels. Get Haley some cash!
The THUGS in blue strike again.
Your Lord Trudeau's Gestapo.
Of course I feel so bad for this young lady, she's everyone's daughter.
Good for Mom for speaking out.❤
Poor girl hope she's OK...❤❤❤❤❤
This!
Even if the guy who tackled her's a constable, he's not above the law. His chief or a judge can take his badge just as easily as he got his badge and sooner or later, he's gonna have to at least pay this girl he hurt lots of money, if not get fired and possible sent to prison.
Saying you are police means nothing in this day and age. They should have put on their lights, and showed their badges. I and many people, especially women would have ran thinking they were maybe trying to impersonate a police officer and it was a possible abduction situation.
No badges, no uniforms, unmarked car, approaching me without asking any questions or identifying yourself? I'm about to get robbed (or worse).
Hope the girl and mom lawyer up
A guy dressed up as a cop and made his car look identical to a police cruiser. Then killed a lot of innocent people... I think police need to understand why people are hesitant to believe you are who you say you are... better start thinking of a new protocol.
Or, they believe what you say you are, but know just how bad policing is.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
They should both be fired and removed from the force.
I taught my children that police will only make situations worse.
After the way police betrayed the people during the pandemic I have lost all trust in them.
Chief Dale McFee Needs to punish the constable more appropriately than merely forcing an apology or demoting him.
I was told police brutality doesn’t happen to white people
... and now u are seeing it does, and white ppl still keep demanding more police, less health care. Can u make it make sense?
@Rocksteady246 what are you new?
And thats why unmarked police cars are illegal most places but edmonchuck
…Even the Gestapo would be horrified and blushing…🦧💨🇨🇦
A woman refusing to leave a house...
But she was walking down the street.
Threatening a girl with a taser.
Tough-guys.
"To Swerve and Protect" (Edmonton Police) 🤨🤨😟😟 An utter disgrace.
Saw a video recently of a young girl on an airplane screaming (over and over) "I'm being sex trafficked" .. Scary times!
Share that video link. Also you can share it with the FBI dept specializes in this area ..
@@chefy35 the same fbi that are more concerned about calling parents of school children domestic terrorists that fbi ie when parents are at school board meetings and complaining about totally inappropriate stuff being taught to their kids that fbi and arresting parents that are pissed off about males going to the same bathrooms as their little girls that fbi
Why are unmarked vehicles responding to anything?
Friggin jackboots, fascists. What a shame. Totally preventable. It’s all about the cops egos. Arrogance. Power tripping. SMH 🤦♀️
Defund the police.
I hope she can sue the crap out of them big time
I hope they will have a lawsuit against the Edmonton police.
Ban ghost cars.
The problem is it leaves some of us wondering if these legit officers really were going to hurt her but because she resisted so valiantly they changed their mind. Just because they are real officers doesn't mean they weren't up to no good.
The police are literally inept.
What a ridiculous statement.
Exactly. If she hadn't fought, would she ever have been found?
@@bradmcdowell9168 Are you an officer? Many true stories about corrupt cops. Maybe you can look some up.
@@copwatchnl2618 One example is a British officer raped and beat dozens of women over 17 years. Plead guilty to 49 offences, 24 counts of rape. And that's likely not all.
Police brutality comes in many forms.
She is lucky she didn't become one of the thousands of missing/murdered women/girls in this country.
Let's see if this posts!
"Fit the description..." Defund the police.
Sue them for damages.
Even phony people have sirens
They could have even tried by shouting "weewooweewoo"
I said many times Alberta Police is most violent in Canada, everyday they assault someone
This is why in many places if an undercover has to make a stop they have to be accompanied by a marked unit.
Her families should SUE
the police department....!!
Sue them yesterday,this is not the service we pay them to do.
She about to be paid !
They thought she was the suspect, they apologized. Good job running Kid 👍
Sue them
Theyre inept
Okay, after seeing many videos, people now are aware that police often have difficulties when dealing with the recognition of number, letters, and colors, and now we see that they also have trouble in seeing the difference between a person that is outside of a house, and a person who is inside and refusing to exit.
Is this the same EPS that kicked in the door of a completely innocent family a few days ago?
Unmarked SUV tried kidnapping a little girl... their explanation doesn't seem credible.
Get this girl into counseling asap. That trauma will last a lifetime.
It is tough because if it were a real police car and if she were the real suspect, would have she ran? But her fear is understandable too.
Is she able to sue?
Hopefully, she can charge them. No one's above the law and if everything's gone well, the officers who attacked her were fired and arrested for assaulting a minor.
How awful!!
insane!
I agree with others. Sue.
The fact that our militarized cops sneak around like skulking criminals (because they essentially are) should be telling enough. They don't want to be seen as a protector of citizens. But a force to be reckoned with.
That’s scary AF.
Just another false arrest in Edmonton, causing permanent damage.
Mf'er had to tackle a small girl? He couldn't have grabbed her by the collar or arm???
This is why I question the mental health of the officers, and their motivation to become police in the first place. This type of brute force is a dark sign of of the power that police like to have over others.
@Rocksteady246 Actually yes, I am.
How u chose to respond is very telling:
Ignoring what doesn't align with your understanding rather than using humility to learn & grow from others.
During our formative yrs (0-6 yrs old) we develop a healthy sense of self if our first teachers model healthy, social behaviour.
If our first teachers (parents) model emotional dysregulation we either learn to shrink & hide ourselves or impose ourselves on others using aggression to sooth the emotional dysregulation within us.
This is how bullies are made.
U can certainly look this up on Psychology Today if u have any desire to inform yourself further. Cheers. 🙂
This is sad to hear.
This is bad the Police officers have no conscious purpose to protect innocent, a girl 😞O dear O dear this is terrifying ✌️🧕🏽🇸🇴
This is horrible. I hope she sues them, and gets justice.
Taking a very long time for her to get some form of compensation.
It really isn't safe calling the police anymore sad
Disgusting if they were cops where’s the badge there was no uniform
How do you know there was no badge etc. All your hearing is one side of the story. Unmarked car yes uniform and badge I am sure they had.

Ridiculous!!! Lawsuit!!
Hailey, I understsnd what you went through. I sorry that they didn't ask for your iD and done things properly. They did not do their job. They deserve to be charged for wrongful actions. I have been there. It still taking me a long time to call police. I tell them I am afraid of them when they arrive to help me. Many people need help with police. Cannot help them if we are scared of them. I hope you heal through this and that you learn how to handle police in our city. Take Care of yourself.
Awe! I have been through the exact same thing! Its so scary, I feel for her 100%!
The way that they treated her is the way that they usually treat Black people
We have investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing. - Dont rely upon them to do the right thing - get lawyered up and sue them.
Maybe Canada should crack down on human trafficking. Our citizens should not need to live in paranoia about being abducted.
The police should correct their mistakes and maybe pay the ransom for their actions,.. ops or sorry doesn’t cover it,
I hope criminal charges are brought against the police and the young girl sues them for everything they're worth. Absolutely ridiculous. Two officers have to resort to force on a young girl?
More proof of the COMPLETE lack of proper training. Until they fix this, start taking settlements out of the police union pension fund! Guaranteed this will get fixed, "yesterday!"
Yes that will put extreme amount of pressure inside the police force.
Sorry doesn't cut it. This girl was put into extreme distress. She clearly has PTSD over this.
The constable needs to at least sufficiently repay her, if not get fired and arrested.
Now this makes me wonder about EPS.
How will this be fixed ?
It can't. Trust is everything and this broke Trust. Those officers need to resign and repent their sins.
Prayers for Hailey and her family. 🙏 ❤️
They have heart issues. No feelings left. Police need help just as much as the traumatized people living in the streets!
Woman not leaving house- looking for some very bad people 😂
Dirty cops following hunches. Never works
Popo gone loco. More like the unprofessional , non standards.
Hmm... a domestic call, 'woman refusing to leave a house' and they come across a girl walking on the street and terrorize her... where were these officers trained, the U.S.? Idiots.
I hope that young girl is going to be okay.
I would comment about a terrible experience I had with police but they won’t allow me to post it because my experience makes the police look bad. I hope she’s ok.
