The Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay has placed a municipal enforcement officer on administrative duty until an independent agency can complete an investigation, after a video of the arrest of an Inuk man was shared on social media. The video appears to show the town's municipal enforcement officer arresting the Inuk man, who begins to turn toward the officer. "Justice shouldn't be served on the street by a town cop ... so I think there's a bit of bullying going on. "We are calling for appropriate and swift disciplinary action to be taken by the Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. I know the people who are on town council, I know the mayor, I don't think there is an issue of systemic racism with the [town] council," she said.
