This whole thread you've made assumptions of the officers actions based on a 21 second video. Making judgements and declarations, saying he is guilty of excessive force with nothing to back it up but your opinion, but yet I need to prove something to you?
If the officer is found guilty of an offence after an investigation and a trial, then so be it. But judging and convicting him from behind a keyboard without knowing more than a snip it of information from the Internet is profoundly unfair, to the officer and to the Calgary Police Service, and police in general.
Regardless of what i do or do not know it doesn't change the fact I trust the justice system and the legal system to work. If there is a corrupt cop, they get charged, a bogus criminal charge, it gets dropped a legal search warrant executed based on a bad tip, the victim gets compensated.
I trust that if there is a bad cop, I'm less likely to be a victim of said cop than say, get attacked by a bear. And that that bad cop will be caught be the 99.9% of the cops that are good.
But maybe I just have my head in the clouds.
