Police watchdog investigating after video showing officer standing on man’s chest circulates online
The province’s police watchdog is investigating an arrest by RCMP in northern Manitoba last week, after video shared on social media appears to show an officer standing on a man’s body during the arrest.
Moose Lake RCMP said Monday they had notified the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba about an incident during a Friday arrest in Mosakahiken Cree Nation, about 475 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
In a Tuesday news release, the police watchdog said it was investigating after a complaint was filed with RCMP from a concerned citizen regarding a video posted online.
A video circulating on social media appears to show an RCMP officer standing on a man’s chest, as the man lies on the ground near a white truck.
The IIU said the notification it got from RCMP referred to a video showing part of an arrest on Trader’s Road in Mosakahiken Cree Nation.
The video “shows two officers attempting to gain control of the man using force,” according to the police watchdog.
RCMP say that prior to that, the man barricaded himself inside a residence, “refused to comply with directions, actively resisted arrest and tried to assault officers,” the IIU’s Tuesday news release said.
An RCMP spokesperson confirmed to CBC the video circulating online is the one referred to by the IIU.
Moose Lake RCMP previously said they received a report about a disturbance at a residence on Trader’s Lake Road shortly after 4:30 a.m. Friday, and were told a man had assaulted a woman and refused to leave the residence.
RCMP said the man resisted arrest, and they used a stun gun on him twice during the arrest.
The man is facing four charges of assault causing bodily harm, one count of assault while choking, two counts of resisting arrest and two counts of assaulting a police officer, RCMP said on Monday.
The acting civilian director of the investigation unit determined it is in the public interest to investigate the incident, according to the release from the police watchdog, which is mandated to investigate all serious incidents involving police in Manitoba.
The Independent Investigation Unit is asking any witnesses or anyone who has additional video footage of the incident to contact its investigators at 1-844-667-6060.
