"That big f--king ogre looking dude that is in those videos he is actually like autistic," an officer says in the clip.

"Then the f--king guys just beat the shit out of him and then he started crying. I felt bad for him, apparently the sergeant grabbed his balls and twisted, I guess. He was on the ground and everyone was just grabbing limbs. He didn't have a limb to grab so he just like grabs his balls like 'You done now? You done resisting?'"

RCMP needs to be disbanded. You can't reform garbage like this.

The problem is they'll just use a different police force instead.

I imagine these officers won't receive the same punishment as the old ladies protesting in Fairy Creek.
