Maybe my reading of the situation here is wrong, but from what I read, the police were inside the bar strutting around when they were alerted to an altercation outside and the man was already outside of his vehicle. They told him to get back into his vehicle and on the way back he stopped, said something, and was then pummeled.
As a side note, I was pulled over just outside of Strathmore a few years ago for no reason and was never charged. They just said that they wanted to search my vehicle for drugs. I had the vehicle full of boxes (my mother's belongings because she just passed), and had BC plates. That is the only reason I could think of that I looked "suspicious". I had nothing to hide so I said they could look at everything, but the funny thing was is that they asked me if I wanted to get out and stretch while they looked. The one officer (female) was really apologetic, but the male officer was really trying to push my buttons (suggested I was a drag queen for having women's clothing). I called the RCMP to file a complaint and they basically just hung up on me.
