A group of protesters that demonstrated at a rally in support of Palestinians over the weekend in Toronto say a man who was protesting was injured during his arrest β€” which included an officer kneeling on his neck, something Toronto's former police chief said officers are not trained to do.

Former Toronto Police Services Board chair Alok Mukherjee told CBC News he was surprised to see the way the protester was restrained.
"This video seems to suggest that police officers on the ground are still doing the things they're not supposed to be doing," he said.
"I think it raises questions of how is it that there were so many police and they could not restrain one person without using knee-to-neck restraint."

lol .... even with obvious irrefutable evidence they still act surprised that they broke regulation and even laws regarding assault.

How do you expect anyone to respect authority when everyone knows that authority doesn't even want to follow their own rules ... let alone basic respect for people.
