Y’know, assault is generally defined as causing a person to fear for their safety. What these cops were doing was absolutely assault, bumping into someone’s shoulder is not. Plus it kinda looks like a football play the aide, Freeland and the cop were playing.

    Did you really post THAT video to change my mind? Did you not watch it first? (I was curious if there were more because it might show a pattern of harassment of this man by the police. )

      I posted the video to give additional context to non-canandians and anyone who isn’t familiar with the rebel news crowd and their ilk of outrage theatre clowns. No offense but if you were really curious, a quick search would’ve easily answered your question. Whether you choose to do so or not is not my concern.

        Yeah you really aren’t doing what you think you’re doing here.
