She was fighting for her life, thinking this could be a kidnapping with her being the victim. These officers should be fired & she should be filing a civil lawsuit
Honestly there's no point in even trying though claim qualified immunity like they always do and get out of it. Because they always get out of it..... None of this s*** with the costs will change until we have an outside police force whose only job it is to police the police on a federal level treating every abuse of power as a federal crime and making sure that they cannot get out of it and they go to jail for years based on those crimes. Until that happens well it sucks but the only choice you have is to avoid contact with the police at whole costs
That is the stupidest thing I have ever read, just when you thought cops couldn't' t be any dumber. Unmarked car pulls up and some guys jump out, poor girl must have been terrified, no wonder she ran.
It is stupid, but it’s nothing new: On August 22, 2006, 12-year-old Dymond Milburn went outside because her mother asked her to flip their circuit breaker. But when three plainclothes officers jumped out of a van and grabbed her, a simple chore turned into a brutal police violence case! “You’re a prostitute; come with me,” they said. Milburn screamed, grabbing for a tree, thinking she was being kidnapped. One of the officers covered her mouth, while another beat her. After her parents heard the noise and came outside, she was hospitalized with a swollen throat, black eyes, and a bloody nose. But why were they coming after her in the first place? The Galveston, Texas officers were supposed to be looking for three white women they believed to be sex workers, NOT a 12-year-old Black girl! Still, weeks later police came to Milburn’s school to arrest her for "resisting and assaulting a police officer." It took three years and two mistrials for her case to FINALLY be dropped. None of the officers were fired, and one of them was even named "Officer of the Year!”

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.
100% agree!! I served in the Infantry for 6 years and was taught an escalation of force!! Meaning use of force that is necessary for the current situation….grown adults tackling a 16-17 year old girl that’s scared, is nothing but Assault!!
Sadly that's not likely to happen . the people who are supposed to make that happen for us are cowards. What I mean by that is they try to smooth things over for both sides. That is not a good idea. Eg When I was in high school a kid I did not know showed up in early morning study hall (a holding place for early riser like me) and announced I had stolen my locker mate's books and he was there to beat me up right that minute. odd (I said) my lockermate is a girl, I see her several times a day and she would just ask if she thought that. I could have tried to sooth him and it might have worked ... but I was not charged with the roll of peace keeper or bowing to him. Instead I let him have it before his fist came down on my face (I was sitting). In my opinion These guys need to experience retribution in kind .. not some polite "let's all work it out" judge. The only thing to work out is how long they will be in jail and how quickly will they be fired without severance. .. Just my opinion I for one am sick of stories like this.
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.
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.
@@jimanderson7648 - That needs to change. Police shud be investigated by an outside agency which must hv a trained civilian as a part of the investigation team.
yeah im not messing with anyones current era laws at the moment, but since you all died or something in the future, and um, maybe rose from the grave and i had to battle withering curses for their hubris', I follow the laws from the future, since, people are actually still alive and probably longer lasting than these locals will ever be
“Officers” need to be held accountable! They messed up and this young lady needs to be compensated for her mental and physical injuries resulting from their misconduct. Actions have consequences. They are law enforcement officers and need to be held to a higher standard.
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.
Much less, why they would be searching the street, when the call was for a house...? The direct opposite of a house...If she wasn't in the house, the call for service was no longer warranted...🤦
In case anyone thinks the girl is over-reacting, that there was "no harm, no foul", that an apology is sufficient and that we can still trust and back The Blue, google Sarah Everard. She was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a London (UKj police officer acting with the cover of his authority. She fought back to protect herself. And these cops need to review proper police procedures. If this had happened to one of their loved ones, I doubt they'd be as forgiving as they expect this young lady to be.
No harm, no foul? They charged her and are still currently pursuing convictions on 12 counts, 6 of them felonies. Edmonton has doubled-down to cover their Blue Line Cartel thuggery.
Now they are saying ''we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong''. I think we as the people need to take action so they get prosecuted and jailed no?
Oh yes. Because a bad cop did something in one nation all cops in every other nation should be under suspicion. And nobody thinks the girl over reacted.
So it appears by your perspective no law enforcement agencies can or could make mistakes. That's the stupidest thing i can think of . It must be nice to be so perfect. Defence lawyers should be ashamed to admit this they fight everyday for people who have mad mistakes. Like muti murders, rapes, ect. A cop makes a mistake and you want his life. Yes this young girl deserves to be helped for sure for this but if she had of been the person of interest people would of still been mad if they never had made an attempt to speak to her.
Over a domestic where a woman was refusing to leave a house... when they found a similar looking girl and she wasn't even at the house. Unbelievable, If that was my daughter I would be pursuing a lawsuit to no end only because violence adds to the problem. But I've got no more words just Unbelievable
Adult woman at a house, so not this kid. Bet they came up with the story after the fact. Or found the nearest 'believable' situation with a female. What was the description of the woman at the house? How far away was the house?
The Police Chief should go to that station and have every officer line up, then ask them "If you think those officers did nothing wrong, go stand on the left side of the room and if you think they were completely out of line, go stand on the right side of the room". Then simply tell all of the officers with the guts to admit this was wrong to leave the room and go about their duties. All of the officers who are on the left, here's your pink slip. We don't need people who think this kind of behavior is acceptable, working as police officers.
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.
I live in Miami-Dade county south FLA. in the states!! Some years back 2 men copies highway patrol officers in uniform & even a fake FHP car & they were pulling people over & robbing them but one time they got caught by a cop seeing a purse being thrown out a window of that fake cop car!! It is said the number of fake cops acting out in society is rising!!
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.
Totally agree. Its a sad day where we are now, with eleven out of ten cops who can't even remember that there job is to serve and protect. Any more, it's a joke when one out of three are just as clueless and incompetent as the other two.
I used to respect cops. Then got assaulted by them for looking upset after I called adter being assaulted and left for dead. They immediately grabbed me after I said I'm the one who called and smashed my head in the back window of my car. Then they "forgot" to double lock my cuffs so it nearly separated my hand from my wrist. Never got an apology.
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.
They tell the public to not trust anyone who is unable to show proof of a uniform, a badge or lights. She followed the standards and was beat to 💩 from the same people who told the community to watch out from. How disgusting.
Sue them. She deserves to be compensated for her trauma they inflicted. She could have lasting mental health issues because of this. Embarrassing police force. The chief of police and Mayor owe her and her family an apology.
If I was her mother I would file a lawsuit! This should never have happened!! Can’t they tell a 17 yr old from a woman!! She in no way looks like a grown woman!! They should be ashamed of themselves!!
So they were looking for a woman refusing to leave a house so they stopped someone in the street as they might be their suspect. Say you are not a detective without saying you are not a detective.
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
@@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.
The practice of using unmarked cars needs to stop! Unless the police are actually working under cover there's NO reason for police to be driving around in unmarked cars. They should be easily visible and identifiable when working in public.
Those people learned a valuable lesson: a cop is just a thug in disguise and should be met with the same caution. Telling your children they should find a cop if they are in trouble is the same as telling them that CPS is totally reliable.
Qualified Immunity ensures WE pay the damages and the criminals escape consequence. They laugh and say “make it a bajillion dollars!” when the settlements come from the same place they steal their paycheques-OUR pockets!
If the police were attending because someone wouldn't leave a house then, if they thought this was the suspect, she HAD left the house. End of callout.
The unmarked car, ununiformed cops, and no flashing light could be kidnappers. This girl did right using common sense to flee from the idiots. I bet those stupid cops would have told their daughters to do the same. So, the good old "sorry" does not cut it and the girl's family must sue the police department.
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.
How old is this kid? Like 14? Those cops should be fired and banned for life from any kind of law enforcement employment. I feel sorry for Canadians living under the Castro regime!
if cops don't identify themselves as police and provide evidence (badge, uniform, lights) then a citizen isn't obligated to stick around... of course she thought she was being kidnapped
We repeatedly get told "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". If that doesn't apply to them, it can't rationally be applied to anyone else. It was their legal duty to establish the identity of the person they were trying to apprehend, but they chose not to. They assaulted and attempted to kidnap a minor. Everyone in that car should get 10-20 years in prison.
Similar thing happened in Toronto when out-of-uniform cops on foot aggressively approached a car and to escape he ran over and killed a cop. The judge threw out the case.
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".
@@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.

Meaning use of force that is necessary for the current situation….grown adults tackling a 16-17 year old girl that’s scared, is nothing but Assault!!
Sadly that's not likely to happen . the people who are supposed to make that happen for us are cowards. What I mean by that is they try to smooth things over for both sides. That is not a good idea. Eg When I was in high school a kid I did not know showed up in early morning study hall (a holding place for early riser like me) and announced I had stolen my locker mate's books and he was there to beat me up right that minute. odd (I said) my lockermate is a girl, I see her several times a day and she would just ask if she thought that. I could have tried to sooth him and it might have worked ... but I was not charged with the roll of peace keeper or bowing to him. Instead I let him have it before his fist came down on my face (I was sitting). In my opinion These guys need to experience retribution in kind .. not some polite "let's all work it out" judge. The only thing to work out is how long they will be in jail and how quickly will they be fired without severance. .. Just my opinion I for one am sick of stories like this.
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.
Ahem. FTP.
Hope she sues them big time. No excuse to tackle a young innocent girl, even if it were mistaken identity.
Now Haley will never trust a police officer for the rest of her life . This will stick with her sadly
She'll be safer thinking that way!
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?
This needs to be investigated by an outside agency!
Grt pt. Mayb CSIS or RCMP.
In these cases she will need to sue! Can’t trust their internal investigations…. History shows they are biased
@@ravinderdhupia4779 Not the RCMP, they are not to be trusted, especially by the indigenous community.
@@ravinderdhupia4779 lmfao cops invest cops are you serious ?
@@jimanderson7648 - That needs to change. Police shud be investigated by an outside agency which must hv a trained civilian as a part of the investigation team.
They don't want you to respect them. They want you to fear them.
Exactly!
Exactly!
Nobody fears canadian cops.
Unfortunately I’ve learned you can’t have one without the other anymore
yeah im not messing with anyones current era laws at the moment, but since you all died or something in the future, and um, maybe rose from the grave and i had to battle withering curses for their hubris', I follow the laws from the future, since, people are actually still alive and probably longer lasting than these locals will ever be
They arrested her for not leaving a house OUTSIDE? This was easily attempted trafficking. Look into these officers
“Officers” need to be held accountable! They messed up and this young lady needs to be compensated for her mental and physical injuries resulting from their misconduct.
Actions have consequences. They are law enforcement officers and need to be held to a higher standard.
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.
If those cops were smart, they would have become engineers, financiers or designers!!!!!!! But they are NOT smart
Much less, why they would be searching the street, when the call was for a house...? The direct opposite of a house...If she wasn't in the house, the call for service was no longer warranted...🤦
In case anyone thinks the girl is over-reacting, that there was "no harm, no foul", that an apology is sufficient and that we can still trust and back The Blue, google Sarah Everard. She was kidnapped, raped and murdered by a London (UKj police officer acting with the cover of his authority. She fought back to protect herself. And these cops need to review proper police procedures. If this had happened to one of their loved ones, I doubt they'd be as forgiving as they expect this young lady to be.
Many DV victims of "enforcement," "fire services,CBSA"..
No harm, no foul? They charged her and are still currently pursuing convictions on 12 counts, 6 of them felonies. Edmonton has doubled-down to cover their Blue Line Cartel thuggery.
Now they are saying ''we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong''. I think we as the people need to take action so they get prosecuted and jailed no?
Oh yes. Because a bad cop did something in one nation all cops in every other nation should be under suspicion.
And nobody thinks the girl over reacted.
So it appears by your perspective no law enforcement agencies can or could make mistakes. That's the stupidest thing i can think of . It must be nice to be so perfect. Defence lawyers should be ashamed to admit this they fight everyday for people who have mad mistakes. Like muti murders, rapes, ect. A cop makes a mistake and you want his life. Yes this young girl deserves to be helped for sure for this but if she had of been the person of interest people would of still been mad if they never had made an attempt to speak to her.
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.
Over a domestic where a woman was refusing to leave a house... when they found a similar looking girl and she wasn't even at the house. Unbelievable, If that was my daughter I would be pursuing a lawsuit to no end only because violence adds to the problem. But I've got no more words just Unbelievable
They should have AT LEAST shown a badge, and even then you still don’t know if it’s 100% legit. I would assume I was being kidnapped too
The stupidity and incompetence in this world never ceases to amaze me.
Worse.. evil.
Tell me about it
This incident goes a step beyond incompetence. More like active malice.
Most cops should not be cops.
If you work with the public, you know its 10x worse since 2021. If you know what I mean.
Case is Girl is not leaving the house.... But harassed a woman in SIDE WALK ???? Doesn't make sense, these officers are dangerous to the society...
Adult woman at a house, so not this kid. Bet they came up with the story after the fact. Or found the nearest 'believable' situation with a female.
What was the description of the woman at the house? How far away was the house?
They didnt find any domestic abuse so they created one.
Take legal action against them this is so wrong. Poor young lady is traumatized.
If you did that to my daughter, the best outcome you could get would be a lawsuit.
Get a good lawyer and sue! Unacceptable
it is canada
You must be thinking of a different country in which the laws apply to the government and its staff. That isnt the case in Banada.
don't have to be a good lawyer in this case. open and shut.
Well one bad night, now she's set up for life
Better set up a GO Fund Me, or they will keep her in court until she is broke.
The Police Chief should go to that station and have every officer line up, then ask them "If you think those officers did nothing wrong, go stand on the left side of the room and if you think they were completely out of line, go stand on the right side of the room". Then simply tell all of the officers with the guts to admit this was wrong to leave the room and go about their duties. All of the officers who are on the left, here's your pink slip. We don't need people who think this kind of behavior is acceptable, working as police officers.
No police chief would do this, because they are part of the problem.
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.
I live in Miami-Dade county south FLA. in the states!! Some years back 2 men copies highway patrol officers in uniform & even a fake FHP car & they were pulling people over & robbing them but one time they got caught by a cop seeing a purse being thrown out a window of that fake cop car!! It is said the number of fake cops acting out in society is rising!!
That’s exactly true. You can’t trust what you see, and shouldn’t.
Women are advised not to stop for marked patrol cars with lights flashing unless they are in a well lit area with people around.
@@jimcampbell8061 because cops kill and assault women, indeed.
Have the cops investigated themselves yet and decided they are all heroes who did no wrong and deserve promotions?
It’s unacceptable 😮
Lawsuit time!
Who do you think pays that out?
@@frankvonfrauner Who cares, she should get paid and the cops should be fired.
@@bobstock4004100%

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.
90% of cops give the other 10% a bad name.
Lol
that's why All Cops Are Bad
the 10% are guilty, because they remain silent.
I'd say it closer to 99% and 1%
Totally agree.
Its a sad day where we are now, with eleven out of ten cops who can't even remember that there job is to serve and protect. Any more, it's a joke when one out of three are just as clueless and incompetent as the other two.
This is incredibly disturbing. Shame on the police

I’m not surprised. In the police academy they are taught it’s us versus them.
I used to respect cops. Then got assaulted by them for looking upset after I called adter being assaulted and left for dead. They immediately grabbed me after I said I'm the one who called and smashed my head in the back window of my car. Then they "forgot" to double lock my cuffs so it nearly separated my hand from my wrist. Never got an apology.
Why are unmarked vehicles responding to anything?
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.
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
What do you mean?
I will call that assault
They probably just wanted to assault her and used mistaken identity as an excuse.
Had a semi and wanted to cop a feel. Disgusting.
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.
You aren't very bright...Point being; It shouldn't have happened in the first place, since the person alleged was no longer in the house...
Stop using logic and common sense.
They tell the public to not trust anyone who is unable to show proof of a uniform, a badge or lights. She followed the standards and was beat to 💩 from the same people who told the community to watch out from. How disgusting.
Of course I feel so bad for this young lady, she's everyone's daughter.
Good for Mom for speaking out.❤
Sue them. She deserves to be compensated for her trauma they inflicted. She could have lasting mental health issues because of this. Embarrassing police force. The chief of police and Mayor owe her and her family an apology.
If the suspect was supposed to be someone who was refusing the leave the house, why would they assume this girl, who was outside, was the suspect?
Edmonton is a cold miserable place to live
especially in the summer

the cops involved here need criminal charges as well as being permanently banned from government positions in the future.
So they were looking for a woman refusing to leave a house so they stopped someone in the street as they might be their suspect. Say you are not a detective without saying you are not a detective.
they are more inspector Clouseau than sherlock holmes
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.
Thanks for exposing police corruption.
The practice of using unmarked cars needs to stop!
Unless the police are actually working under cover there's NO reason for police to be driving around in unmarked cars. They should be easily visible and identifiable when working in public.
Lawsuit! This girl deserves to have justice served!
Those people learned a valuable lesson: a cop is just a thug in disguise and should be met with the same caution. Telling your children they should find a cop if they are in trouble is the same as telling them that CPS is totally reliable.
Sue them for damages.
Who can she trust. Sue. That's totally unacceptable.
Qualified Immunity ensures WE pay the damages and the criminals escape consequence. They laugh and say “make it a bajillion dollars!” when the settlements come from the same place they steal their paycheques-OUR pockets!
Sue for millions in damages!
And sue them personally. There should be zero qualified immunity for cops who break the very laws they are supposed to uphold.
If the police were attending because someone wouldn't leave a house then, if they thought this was the suspect, she HAD left the house. End of callout.
Disgusting. Fired immediately. I hope she wins in court
The unmarked car, ununiformed cops, and no flashing light could be kidnappers. This girl did right using common sense to flee from the idiots. I bet those stupid cops would have told their daughters to do the same. So, the good old "sorry" does not cut it and the girl's family must sue the police department.
Not "could be kidnappers" "WERE kidnappers"
Either they have too much operational freedom or they violated standard operating procedures. Someone at the cop shop needs to be held accountable.

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.
could have called a marked unit.

you shouldn't expect to be treated like an officer if you remove any chance of people knowing you are one
if cops don't identify themselves as police and provide evidence (badge, uniform, lights) then a citizen isn't obligated to stick around... of course she thought she was being kidnapped
These cops need to be held accountable. We investigated ourselves and we are innocent.
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.

Criminals. Not police. Criminals. Not officers. Criminals. Call them what they are.
We repeatedly get told "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". If that doesn't apply to them, it can't rationally be applied to anyone else. It was their legal duty to establish the identity of the person they were trying to apprehend, but they chose not to. They assaulted and attempted to kidnap a minor. Everyone in that car should get 10-20 years in prison.
NEVER call cowards to help you!!
So… they wanted to tackle and arrest a woman for not leaving a house… but had left the house? Story checks out.
Similar thing happened in Toronto when out-of-uniform cops on foot aggressively approached a car and to escape he ran over and killed a cop. The judge threw out the case.
And the police chief who criticized the ruling and the prosecutor who dared bring that case have yet to be punished.
