| “The pattern of use of force that we’re seeing tends to be focused in the 10 blocks of the Downtown Eastside,” he said. The civil liberties association released a video earlier this month that raised questions about the arrest of a homeless Sudanese refugee within the Downtown Eastside. The force said the man tried to take an officer’s gun, but the association said he was only trying to push police away as they continuously kneed him. The group filed a formal complaint in the case. Eby said the group was then contacted by an advocate working with the woman last week and within days received the video, shot from a camera stationed at a nearby hotel. The incident occurred June 9. Vancouver police held a press conference Thursday afternoon, a few hours after the video was made public. |
