That's gonna leave a mark.

When ordered by your betters make it snappy or it's a boot to the head for you.







Police in B.C. are recommending a charge of assault causing bodily harm against a Kelowna RCMP officer in connection with a videotaped incident showing an officer kicking a seemingly compliant man in the face during an arrest.

The announcement was made Sunday shortly before a noon-hour protest in the Interior B.C. city of Kelowna in response to the arrest of Buddy Tavares on Jan. 7.

About 300 people marched from Kelowna City Park to the RCMP detachment in a protest that remained peaceful in spite of earlier police concerns that it might get out of hand.

Heh...... of course the planned protest had nothing to do with the recommendation. (don't get excited folks it is after all just a recommendation . No charges yet. ) This fine specimen of a police officer has been on paid vacation since the incident in question. These guys have been right on this case of possible abuse from day one don't cha know.
“When an officer is caught on video assaulting a citizen, the force needs to act swiftly and decisively,” Davies said in a news release Sunday morning before the Abbotsford police announcement about charges.
“It is insulting that the officer involved is simply relieved of duties, with pay, while the broken police investigation process drags on.”
Opps my bad.
Now for something completely different, but on point.
