There is something you may not notice at first when watching the video of RCMP officers arresting Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam: bystanders were filming the incident. The video, taken by an RCMP dashboard camera, shows a verbal dispute between Adam and an officer. Adam suffered injuries to his face during the arrest; he documented his injuries with photographs that show a bruised and swollen face. The RCMP says that it reviewed the video of the incident and did not find anything that warranted further investigation of the officers’ conduct. People throughout North America have been horrified by the recent examples of police officers acting in ways that shock the public.
