This is what the WPS does with a $350 million a year budget: viciously attack poor Indigenous people trying to survive. The number of cops who responded to this were alone worth more than $1 million a year in salary. That's money directly stolen from our communities.

Defund and abolish the WPS.

You can see in the video that he was complying with cop orders and not resisting arrest. He also repeatedly requested that the arrest be videoed.

WARNING: Police violence

We've received footage of a violent arrest at the St. James Superstore on Wednesday evening. During the arrest, the man was subjected to a knee on his neck, had a spit hood and "Ripp Hobble" restraint applied to him, and at least 10 cops responded.
