Saskatoon mayoral candidate Rob Norris says people need to let the Public Complaints Commission's investigation into the arrest of Evan Penner play out first before they come to conclusions about the violence used against Penner last weekend. Some have called for the swift firing of the officers seen delivering several blows and a Tasering to Penner during the arrest. Norris tweeted in support of the Saskatoon Police Service a day after a video of Penner's arrest was made public. Chris Sicotte, an Indigenous candidate for city council, said the video was disturbing and that he very much felt for Penner. The first officer to deal with Penner during the arrest is captured here on video about a minute into his struggle with Penner.
