He should be in jail.
Wellness calls should not be allowed. They end up violent and with citizens hurt or even dead.
Not be done by police, or only allow police officer as back up. There should be an on between because it does not sound like they’re suited to check on people who fare unwell mentally
RCMP wellness checks make it worse.
Police need a special division for wellness calls. This rcmp officer needs to be fired and never work in law enforcement again.
Never ever call the cops
Call anyone but the police
Their job is to fill prisons, not prevent crime. At least in the USA, court rulings have clearly stated that the job of the police is NOT to protect people and NOT to prevent crime. They're oppressors, nothing more.
@@LezBeeHonest This happened to me in a different province ,it goes on all the time I am sure. Especially if you live out of town.
I hope your daughter gets the help she needs.
wrong answer rcmp , a wellness check is not grounds for a 1 sided boxing-match
that police department needs to get rid of that guy.
💖 This is 2024 and NOT COLONIAL CANADA!!!! If You cannot Police HUMANELY, GET OUT OF POLICING PERIOD 😢
The thin blue line will protect each other… there is absolutely no reason to abuse Canadian citizens like this.. those cops have to be charged with assault.
No comment from the police?
This is another wellness check that is disturbing towards First Nations women. The RCMP need to be accountable for losing their composure towards First Nations women. Absolutely disgusting behavior by these officers. 4 of them on one woman and not one stepped in and said, hey stop beating the woman. I am horrified.
They prey on females and children of all colors - as long as they are poor. Indigenous women are the poorest and least defended and far more likely to be offed by cops.
DV is rampant in cop households, too. Can you imagine the sheer cowardice of these monsters to attack the weaker for fun!
Speechless...more people are not calling the police for anything now.
Last thing anyone would expect during a "wellness" call.... So unfortunate..
This was so hard to watch. Knowing how many dozens upon dozens of women have experienced this OR WORSE! is absolutely heartbreaking. As an american, the number of times I have seen white canadians point and laugh at our police brutality and insist it doesn't happen in their woke utopia makes me so upset. When will the violence towards indigenous people end?
Violence from men will never end. Protect yourself any way you can!
Well said. We too have creepy racist cops and lots of people who are bigoted against First Nations people in general.
It's not only to women of color, but severe brutality to our teenagers. My teenage grandchildren are terrified of RCMP and with good reason. Especially young boys. I am very ashamed of the RCMP.
The police will most likely walk free. Sorry this happened to you
Yeah. Why pay taxes for they're salary?
Unbelievable ❤ She better get justice ❤
Unnecessary violence, when you call 911 for HELP
she was charged, this is crazy
All ask Director of RCMP and Prime Minister of Canada.
Make them address this publicly as this has affected the public in many ways.
So horrifying. That officer should be arrested immediately. And police should never be called for mental health checks. My heart breaks for this woman and her daughter and the rest of her family.
Forget the health checks. I would not call those cowards for any reason!
She should lawyer up and get this officers recording of this incident, see both sides. If this officer is seen as a thug and bully, then he should at the least ,spend sometime behind bars . Noone deserves this kind of treatment during a wellness check when a weapon is not involved.
Need mental health training when working with public
Identify the officers
some people make me sick. hoping for a good recovery
Rcmps should not investigating themselves
I hope you are feeling better and I am so sorry that all women experience such violence.
File a counter suit before they drop the charges!!!!!
The RCMP officer is going to get a promotion and bonus, as usual.
Beaten and charged when calling for help. Get those officers some PAID leave and don't fire them, don't defund police to make way for less violent wellness responders either. This system plainly works 😰 the other month when officers escalated an Ontario liquor robbery into a car chase, killing vacationing grandparents. Can't wait to hear that Gillis was a threat, like Chantel Moore💐
Also there's that Mississippi mass grave behind a prison, dug by prisoners and used by municipal police. Still waiting for more news on that. TOTALLY not a sigh of a wide spread policing problem...
Definitely do not look at the Turkish police, Pakistan ,Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, Russia, China, Canada has more accountability and rights then 90% of the world..look into other countries, any Islamic nation 1 non Muslim word does not stand against the police ( that must be Muslim) man word is above a woman..no police is perfect what is needed is more body csms and mental health care
Don't call 911 or police for wellness check. Always results in brutality.
It's a worldwide phenomenon issue ! .
They've killed plenty of people here in Australia
@@265hemi7 It seems to be. Happens often and the police claim that its our fault. The came into a unpredictable situation and have to be ready for anything. Therefore, they feel justified in being heavy handed for their safety. Blaming those unwell for being a potential threat.
Dont the rcmp wear body cameras? If not, they should be wearing them
If they're anything like many American cops, they probably have the option to turn them off, in case they're about to do anything that might get them suspended with pay.
Prayers sister 🪶
The injuries on her face say it all and there's no excuse for that. How ironic SHE is the one one charged with assault. WTF.
It doesn't surprise me.
Of course the cop will walk free...
😭😭 this is infuriatingly upsetting
Christina, I am so sorry this happened. I send you healing prayers. I hope your daughter will be ok, too. ❤
I'll never call the cops 👮♂️
They are not here to protect, thsy sre here to enforce government policies against the indigenous people
I’m so sorry, this is so awful! Sending my love and support💚
Oh my jeiiizzzzzz… not good!
why is it a wellness check ? to check the wellness of the person not to abuse them!and this abuse has happend far to offten!
I feel for her. Every time I have called for police assistance they ended up turning everything against me instead (I have a troubled daughter and had a home robbery by her and another time trying to get her stuff from a place she was evicted from and before all this when she was sexually assaulted when she was 13, they never arrested the guy, instead they blamed her). I will never call police for assistance again. They never help calm a situation they actually cause more problems than they solve.
In Canada here we do not beat females no matter what..
You need to get out more.
We are allowed to beat males only?
@@ordyhorizonrivieredunord712 yes
Sounds similar to Chantel Moore in Halifax on a Wellfare check,she was killed on it a few year's back. She was related to Moses Martin,the Grandfather on the missing Lisa Marie Young from Naniamo, B.C,she went missing over 21 years ago,after going for a ride with Christopher Adair in his Red Jag.😢
The fact the investigators have ties to rcmp is a conflict on interest there should be a third party investigation immediately…. lately it seems like cops either don’t show up at all or come to scenes with bad intentions…. There needs to be a reckoning.
That's so sad why are the police in Canada so hard on Canadians,
Officer needs training to handle without using violence. This is disgraceful
Training won't change someone who is violent and has zero respect for anyone but another cop..
@@Nobodycares4you. Then the ONLY answer is to fire that officer. I don't understand the story but regardless the woman was a victim of abuse. When she called for help she did not expect to be abused. What was the reason the officer felt like the woman needed to be beaten?
If a man needs to be TRAINED not to punch a woman’s face in, he’s a psychopath and should not be a police officer. That mother asked a question. She was clearly no threat to anybody. From the sounds off it, the cops were taunting the girl having the mental health crisis, maybe getting ready to beat her too, but Mom gave them the pretext they needed, apparently simply by pleading with them not to escalate the situation, so they beat her face in instead. Every single time the police get caught brutalizing poor people, black people and First Nations people or taking young guys to Cherry Beach in Toronto to beat them senseless, there is ALWAYS somebody like you who think they just need more “training.”
Officer needs some jail time for this-- what the hell is happening in our country ??? Just because we a native, they can assault and injure us like this.. someone needs to take this to a high court… any takers for a lawyer, pro bono please….
Why not have a First Nation investigator???🤔
Wellness checks. I have called a few time to have one of my children checked on as she is an extreme alcoholic. She told me a couple of times she be ruffed up by male officers. Now when I call I make sure the a female and male officer comes to assess. I also request passionate and understanding officer. I received nothing but the most positive response and respect when I request this. Please request this people when calling police through wellness checks. For when it turns ugly and misconduct on police behalf they need to be held responsible for their actions on sensitive matters and issues. I am truly sorry for this happening to this woman and her family .so please when requesting assistance as for compassionate female to assist in the wellness check.❤️
So.
Wheres the arrest of this bastard officer?
Saw the title of this video and thought "wth" - this is just crazy.
We’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.. as per usual.. case closed
The charges against the victim are for Bargaining. If she withdraws her complaint, the prosecutor will ‘allow’ her to take a Plea Deal. It can be for any minor offence, as long as she accepts a Guilty Plea, which will be used to exonerate the cops actions.
This is an issue too often overlooked. Yes the cops cannot be trusted, but the Crown Attorneys are no better. CAs routinely ignore the abuse by cops, even going as far as to continue with fabricated charges against a victim. Goal is to criminalize the victim, taking away the victim’s credibility in the eyes of the courts.
Which to me is Malicious Prosecution!
I was once told about a government legal officer , who was playing tennis and having lunch with, a female police prosecutor , conflict much? .
I think they were doing more than tennis, and lunch .
Punch, are you well now? Punch, are you well now? Repeat for half an hour.
Who cares if she knew she was under arrest or not.
That officer needs to be in jail.
Now, this is true hate. I feel so sorry for this first nations woman. As a Canadian with no native blood whatsoever. I am so sorry this happened to you and I hope justice is served swift and quickly 😢
Sue the officer what a jerk. He needs to be jailed. I’m so very sorry this happened. Imagine calling for help and you get beaten. I’m pissed. Enough is enough. Look at her face. Ffs.
Taxes beat me more than that on a regular basis. My tax money paid for this, I’m pretty godamn angry.
This is when PTSD starts to become part of this atrocious situation.
Shame on these freakin cops!!
This needs to be taken to task!!, not to the task force.
SHAME ON THEM!!
Very sad 😢
Glad she spoke up ❤
Sue them. Alway videotype .As ususal the RCMP will get aways with the crime
She made the mistake of calling the boxing line…… Really Corrupt May Punch.
Officer should no longer be an officer! 🤬 Jail
Oh wow..
Im sorry this happened to you sister
They didn’t leave physical marks but the emotional me may never heal ! May you heal ❤
Well the cop claims she uttered threats and assaulted him so of course fearing for his life in self defense had to do that? They can just lie on reports to add insult to injury.
Discusting, don’t beat a woman! She needs help. Even if she’s unruly, I’m not saying she was. Hope they had their cameras on to 😊see what really happened and the situation dealt with properly. I suggest that when they get a call like that that they bring a social worker or someone from mental health that are trained in deescalation. Police there just for extra safety. No violence please!
RCMP SUCKS!!!
Ex RCMP Officer , needs to charged and jailed then sued .
heartbreaking
Didnt these cops learn you don't his women. So dangerous.
Uncanadian...of the officer
Canada has plenty of abusive/rapust/murderous cops. But trugroper and the 'boys' have bought mainstream media, and hides these cases from the general public!
Shame on you rcmp....
If i did this i would expect to be in jail then get beat down in jail.
The cops investigating the cops Hmmmmmmm?
Actions of police seem normal in this dysfunctional country!
That pig needs to be in prison. Internal affairs needs to do something about it
Fight back.
Disband the rcmp.
Is what it is. U know as well as I do the rcmp r nothing more than disgust of human life.
If he don't
Get arrested
Then sirt
Is a part of cover up
aint got much use for the rcmpigs
Is there body cam footage?
This makes me sick, shame on the RCMP SHAME! How come no other MSM outlets in Canada didn't cover this horrific story?
Sue the heck out of the police I on your side what kind of loser would lay a hand on a woman shame on them
Assault ...
Never calll 911, any matter concerning safety should be treated by indigenoud peacekeepers. We keep seing this add on TH-cam saying that an increasing number of RCMP officers are being treated for PTSD and obviously their training and behavior shows they are inapt in helping the people. They are trained like attack dogs and are always too quick to give a human response to human problems. And obviously you can't call an attack dog to calm a person having a seisure or undergoing a crisis. 🦉
Common in Canada unfortunately. Forcing will on others seems to be the norm , pray for the evil doers , they need a miracle ...GOD please forgive us all .
I’m sure this victim is telling the entire story and not emitting any details . I’m sure she did nothing wrong
Yup sounds about right
Typical
Waylon Jennings - Just the good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the......... RCMPee theme song.
Hope for change? Rama police officer constable Evan Gorman viciously assaulted a child and put him a hospital in 2017 and what he did to that child he did to me in December 2022 on camera at casino rama! He needs to be removed and charged. Rama police chief is protecting his child beating co worker, they both need to be removed and stopped funded!
I have 3 great happy autusm children young adults n this is the thing i fear the most .
Always remember K Division. They deal with the rcmp members, in their own division, which is above and beyond the regular rcmp. They are able to do things that the sergeants who work alongside these monsters aren't capable of doing to reprimand and discipline the deranged lunatic psychopaths. Heal well Christina. None of this had to happen to you. Sending prayers to you and your daughter ❤
Unfortunately TH-cam is protecting them…..
My comment on their past actions was removed.
Capice
