This footage shows one of many police beatings in Ottawa during the government’s ongoing crackdown on peaceful protesters. It was shot this morning by a bystander named Brian Kanabrowski.
So far, no Canadian media organizations have reached out expressing interest in speaking to the rights holder concerning this clip. If they would like to do so, they can get in touch with me, and I will be happy to connect you.
Update: A truck driver named Csaba Vizi, who had been in Ottawa for three weeks, says he is the man in this video. He says he is currently looking for an emergency room, as his "urine is an amber yellow" and he feels pain when inhaling.
Footage from Chaba Vizi's last Facebook live stream demonstrates that he promises to surrender peacefully. He is in orange. He exits his truck, kneels down and places his hands behind his head before the police beat him. Livestream at 11 min, 41 seconds: facebook.com/Transilvaniatr…
To assist interested journalists -- the man you want to contact for the original, high-quality beating video is David paisley. It's from his YouTube channel here, at 24:11 . He'll let you use it for free. I can give you Csabi's number as well.
