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.

I've simply commented that the multiple punches to the head look excessive. I've admitted multiple times that it's hard to know what led to the interaction. I'm judging based on what I'm seeing.
It is funny though, you're preaching the benefit of the doubt and reserving judgement, but you've had absolutely zero issue being quite sure about the man who the cops took down:

Interesting that you seem make your judgement based on what might have happened before the video started, based solely on the word of the police and that video we aren't supposed to make any judgements from. That seems like a snippet of information to me.
You hold your judgements to a lower standard than everyone else's. You have an extremely evident bias in favour of police, you have defended them and condemned any critics in multiple threads now, even when the force is lethal. You've admitted in this thread that you think the man was resisting based on the video, but nobody else is allowed to believe the force looks excessive based on the video?
A bias is fine but you ought to recognise when you have one.
