This is the best summary I could come up with:
Khadafi Keenan Fagan-Pierre had just opened the door of a black BMW on the driveway of his home when he saw a Gatineau, Que., police cruiser make a U-turn.
Citing privacy concerns, police declined to provide any further information about the incident, including the specific kinds of force they used and how Fagan-Pierre is alleged to have resisted.
She said Gatineau police are held to the highest ethical and professional standards, and listed numerous measures the force has taken against racial profiling including training, internal directives, a diversity action plan and collaboration with community groups.
His father, who was 69 at the time of the incident, lives in Ottawa and his car has Ontario plates, though police did not mention that as a reason for suspicion in their statement to CBC.
"I looked over where the noise was coming from, and I was petrified to see my son being pinned and rammed by two police officers struggling to put handcuffs on him," said Dian Pierre.
Faubert said Gatineau police have looked into the case and the available documentation, and are unable to conclude that the male officer committed any professional breach during the incident.
The original article contains 1,540 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 88%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Have they tried firing officers who racially profile?
In other news, I just can't seem to stop my room mate from shitting all over my bed. I have tried hosting proper toilet etiquette seminars, posting the "no bed shitting" policy in common areas, and even brought in some experts in how to not shit on your room mate's bed. I guess I just have to make time each morning for an extra long shower.
