Coquitlam RCMP filmed dragging elderly man down stairs (VIDEO) | Daily Hive Vancouver

Just because their age doesn't mean they can be uncooperative with officers.

Yes I feel a bit sorry for them especially with a grand daughter screaming in the back ground but DAMN. Didn't know strata meetings can be that crazy

I agree. Old people can absolutely be as uncooperative with police as anyone. I just don't think it was necessary to drag an 80 year old man down the stairs - THAT definitely could've been handled better.

0:17,
Cop: turn around
Oldman: noooo

:joy:

If the guy is not even willing to get up to go somewhere and talk what other options are there.

Looks to me like the guy just said fuck it and opted for the dead weight routine

I don't think this is anywhere near as bad as some real police brutality..
No tazer, no pepper spray, no guns, no fists, nothing.

I don't particularly feel bad for those old people. They could've cooporated with the cops and everything should've been fine.

I do feel a bit sorry for the kid though, she will forever be traumatized with the cops for sure.

Fuck strata!

I agree that old people can be annoying to deal with, but there has got to be a better way than dragging the man down the stairs. Cuff him and call for more officers perhaps?

Poor choice in this case.

WTF is wrong with that granny?
Your grand daughter is crying her eyes out, how about calming her down by talking to her everything is ok instead of completely ignoring her? In whole video, did she even looked at her once? Where the hell is her parents?

Clearly you haven't seen our other Mandarin only strata threads lol

The grandma was just saying "make sure you film this" "take a photo of this". My god what a shitty family.

You want to be an idiot that what happens. He has 2 perfectly good legs and a $100+ pair of shoes on.

I hope child services was called. Parents/Grandparents should be ashamed.

"We no pay fee increase!"

The grand daughter should have been removed first. Take her out of the picture and things might have been diferent. Was there no interpreter to calm the elderly couple down? Call ambulance, strap the elderly couple on stretchers, take 'em to police station. In any case, the RCMP didn't have patience.

The grand daughter was there for a reason.

Looks like the elderly couple were taking advantage of the situation. It could have been handled a bit better. The RCMP were played a bit here. And, as usual they had no idea what to do. Oh well............ more training video's.



Using the "senior in distress" card, lol. Hmmmmmm...............

People online are screaming "what if that was your grandparents?!"

I'll admit, I'd be upset if my grandparents were arrested in this manner. But I would be equally upset at my grandparents if they caused such a disturbance that the police had to be called on them.

Sources claim the police rolled in at 1030pm. Long after the meeting had begun. I imagine the person who called for the police, did not want to call the police on the elderly but time frames show the grandparents gave the strata council no option but to call the police because of their actions. :smug:

Are you guys fucking retarded to think the removal by force was necessary? If you do, you either have zero fucking respect for elders or you have never raised a kid, so go fuck yourself and continue living in your parents' basement while you can barely meet your car payment.

Look, I fully understand that some elders can be pain in the ass and make you feel like you just want to "deal" with them and be done with it. I also tend to give police the benefit of the doubt whenever there is some sort of police brutality video popping up. But looking at this video there's nothing that indicates forcefully dragging an elder down the stairs in front of a screaming child was necessary. The elders didn't co-operate but they posed no threat. For fuck's sake at least bring in a translator instead continually speaking to the face of a person who doesn't understand what the fuck you're saying. Instead, you get another fuck face coming in and yelling "you guys did it".

You need to seriously re-evaluate your fucking life if you think it is fine for a police man to drag an 80-year old man, who poses zero fucking threat, down the stairs by his feet with his head banging on the stairs in front a little girl.

Swearing and derogatory name calling makes my viewpoint strongerrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in parent's basement and missing car payments = no respect for elders.

Exhibit A:

(A man who lacks respect for his elders and is about to have his car repossessed).

I like how the RCMP thinks if they shout louder, they'll understand what the fuck he's saying :lol

Guy who is filming said in the article that they hardly speak English. Here's a bright idea, how about you assist the cops and translate some instructions. God this film first mentality now a days.

RCMP reviewing arrest of an elderly B.C. couple caught on video | CFJC Today

Oh didn't notice the same debts are at the end of the ops article

The Frist officer was an idiot, the second seemed overwhelmed but he tried, didn't seem to know what he should do

there really is a language barrier here. This might have been the elderly first time being arrested and it could be really traumatizing to someone who isn't really born in Canada and not knowing how the procedures work. A translator would definitely be very helpful at that circumstances.

No offense but regardlsss of age I think it's asinine to expect a translator to be at a beckon call in a situation that warrants an arrest..

You're not gonna get that anywhere else in the world unless the attending officer speaks said language.

that's how you break a hip
too much force for seniors loitering
failed OP for vancitybuzz source


i see that often

I honestly don't think they were traumatized. If they are that old and come from some place in Asia, they have most likely experienced their share of oppression. They probably knew what they were doing. They probably had their share of standing up against tanks and protesting. They may not have expected the RCMP to act the way they did. In any case, they knew what they were getting into. I hope they get a good scolding from somebody for bringing shame to the family. Seniors - so god damned messed up these days. Using social media to get their 5 minutes of fame. Gulolololol

As mentioned previously in this thread, how about the asswipe who was taking the footage? He could have helped matters............. oh, yeah. He was probably in on it.

Poor RCMP. Oh well, it is what it is.
