The RCMP deny many of the allegations, but a video has emerged showing the officer dragging the student and stepping on her head

Wang contends she was handcuffed and dragged through the apartment on her stomach, causing injury to her face, upper thigh, breast, sternum, and torso, according to the civil suit, filed in a Kelowna court in March.The suit also names the government bodies responsible for the Mounties, including Canada’s attorney general and B.C.’s minister of public safety and solicitor general.

Wang alleges that Browning never identified herself as an RCMP officer and kicked her on the floor and stepped on her arm while she was semiconscious. Browning was initially unable to access the residence and made multiple attempts to contact Wang by the intercom system. Browning was permitted access to the building by another resident, according to the statement.

At all times, they contend she was “combative and possibly in possession of a further weapon” and that Browning believed paramedics would not attend until a combative patient is secured by police.

I can’t believe that the officer was not fired! Clearly the video shows the officer out of control. I am furious about this. This is why we still hide our anxiety attacks. The police will be my last resort. Take yourself a to the hospital folks!

I don’t want her as my nurse....

Good

Was that the whole video? I saw a lady refusing to walk....so that's why she got dragged out?

she is a nut job

Police should start refusing to do any checks on nutjobs.

You won't win your going against Trudeau and his army

RCMP wellness check aka they'll show up to your place and beat the shit out of you

CBC had the video on the news this morning.....it is awful! That officer is not worthy of the uniform or of the title constable, perhaps a different designation beginning with C!

Hope she gets Millions! What was done to her was unnecessary. Everything that officer did was wrong from the moment she went alone to a 'wellness' check to dragging the woman down hallways and stairs to putting her foot on the woman's head. Classic case of poor police training.
