The video shows Abdi on the ground and several officers, one of whom maintains a hand on him, around him. Raw video taken in the moments after Ottawa police grounded and arrested a man who is now dead has been posted to YouTube. It’s not clear from the video, which shows only what happened while police waited for paramedics, what happened in the minutes prior. While the captions on the uploaded video assert that police killed Abdi, what exactly happened on Sunday morning is currently under investigation by the SIU. It’s not clear if Abdi was conscious or breathing at the time the video was filmed.
