Langley said the video appears to show the officer’s leg first making contact with Rukundo’s shoulder blade.
“It is glancing, and it glances off the shoulder blade and ends up across the neck, or the back of the head, whichever it may be,” he said.

Rukundo said Thursday he was disappointed by the suggestion the officer didn’t intend his actions.
“You can see clearly on the video that (the officer’s shin) wasn’t going to the shoulder, he dropped it.”
He questions why Edmonton police would defend the actions of the officer.
