If you make any sudden moves or fail to follow direction from a cop when you're in close proximity to them, expect to be on the ground.

A friend of mine that works for the municipalities tells me that 15-25% of our property taxes go to police and fire department.

That's a really high %.

at the 3sec mark u can see him with an open hand turn not a fist. like hes saying "why is this happening"

if he was being compative with staff and cops before hand i gaurantee u he would of been in cuffs along time ago and there would of been a few cops on him not just 1 making the arrest.

Port moody cops are fucked, and don't have any "cop friends". They over react always. I had a sergent try to goad me into a fight with him.

im actually not criticizing them at all.

but theyre public servants and as such are open to criticism from the public which they serve.

Fair.. but shouldn't it be face/chest down?? Not slamming the back of their head into the ground?

administer the take down, then roll them over.

Can't say i'm surprised by this. Like everyone else has said before the cop was out of line. But for those who are trying to defend the cops actions... Along with Iceman I can attest to how fucked up Port Moody cops are, especially at the Golden Spike. I've been there and seen my friend get dropped kicked in the face by a bouncer and even if you call the cops they automatically side with the bouncers. They are on a continual power trip here in Pomo.

That being said, I have dealt with some pretty cool cops here, but for the most part they're all pricks.

Port Moody cops are the most crooked dirty bastards out there! Its been well known that they dont play within the rules. The worst are these young new officers that walk around like they are the Terminator. Fuck the PMPD. Bunch of assholes.

PoMo police should stick to doing HOV checks and speed traps on the Barnet

If this was in the states, he probably would've been shot instead!

An 18 second video cant explain a situation in full.

Most cops out there are good people, and there's usually a reason for actions.

How do you know that guy didn't just assault an officer before the video started? Or hit a woman? Or is a child predator? I'm totally for fighting Fire with Fire. If officers don't assert dominance people will try to walk over them.

Non compliant assholes deserve to be thrown on the ground. Cops are there to do a job there's no need to make their lives harder by being a smartass
