A video spread online on the internet showing four police officers kicking and punching a robbery suspect, who was allegedly surrendering, has resulted into criminal charges and proceedings against the officers. The officers, from Trois-Rivières, Que. have been suspended with pay as the video made its way on social media and news headlines.
The incident was recorded by a surveillance camera located at a nearby college, showing 19-year-old Alexis Vadeboncoeur putting away a gun and lying face down in the snow, while outstretching his arms on his back, when four Trois-Rivières municipal police officers approached him. Concernedly, the video shows Vadeboncoeur being kicked and punched by officers while he lies on the ground, apparently not making any threatening movements. It was revealed that the officers were chasing Vadeboncoeur after he was allegedly involved in an armed robbery at a nearby pharmacy.
The video footage of the incident surfaced in February following Vadeboncoeur’s bail hearing. The officers mentioned in their police report that the teen had broken into a business, and they justified the use of force alleging that their lives were in danger. The government initiated an investigation by the Quebec provincial police into the charges that were laid officially this week. The four allegedly charged police officials include Marc-André Saint-Amant, Barbara Provencher, Dominic Pronovost and Kaven Deslauriers, who were charged with several offenses including assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and obstructing justice by hiding the existence of the video.
This case reminds us of the Davcomment_ID leclair shooting in Gatineau where a cop stormed a rescomment_IDence dressed in camouflage combat attire. According to witnesses the cop Pierre francois blais then assaulted a 73 year old woman with a baton and shot her son Davcomment_ID Leclair in he back. Pictures taken at the scene show the cop Pierre francois blais of Gatineau police dressed in military combat pant.The coroners report also confirmed that Leclair was shot in the back. Leclair probably concluded that the Blais was an intruder storming into his house. Leclair might have wanted to defend himself and his family from a crazed intruder. The cop is at fault, he was wearing an illegal and confusing uniform and the cop can not claim that he feared for his life because he shot Leclair in the back. How can you fear for your life if the guy is not facing you.The cop should be charged just like the Trois riviere cops..
Regarding the Pierre-François Blais of Gatineau county police case, he has been charged again in 2 other inccomment_IDents and will appear before the ethics disciplinary committee on major charges to the Quebec police act in April 2016 and June 2016 on numerous charges. Pierre-François Blais is the most charged cop in Canada facing the disciplinary Quebec disciplinary committee 3 times in less than 3 years, he was also found guilty on 1 count in the Davcomment_ID Leclair shooting. Blais appears to be a serious danger to the public.
