As a former #RCMP @rcmpgrcpolice, I AM APPALLED THAT you would make such a tainting comment, in advance of an independent investigation.

In your second sentence, and without shame, you seize the 'opportunity' [italics] to shoehorn the NEW @liberal_party #LPC false narrative ...

of "systemic racism" in Canadian policing.

The video, as initially released to media, was (conspicuously) truncated.

☞ Min @BillBlair, YOU ARE ALSO FULLY COGNIZANT THAT any video can capture only a 'slice of an incident' and that that image, is a record from only one

angle of view. It is, otherwise, incomplete. In terms of the overall fact pattern surrounding this incident, it is silent. It is one piece of a puzzle. It is NOT capable of shedding any light on the larger context of a situation (i.e. the circumstances preceding the recorded
4
encounter). In short, it is only what it is.

☞ Min @BillBlair, YOU ALSO KNOW THAT the optics of using force are not pretty. AND, to render any judgement based on ITS appearance in a video is irresponsible. To be clear - and for the benefit of the public - even justifiable
4
use of force will never look pretty.

Please know, I DO NOT THINK FOR ONE MOMENT that your comments are either wanton or reckless. Quite on the contrary, your comments are wholly considered, entirely deliberate and carefully measured, both in their timing and content.

As a result, YOUR COMMENTS WILL NOW ASSUREDLY HANG LIKE A PALL over the independent investigation, leaving the stain of their taint.
