RCMP Plan new training program "How to safely kick suspects in the head"

Vancouver BC: The RCMP is reviewing its cadet training and induction programs, specifically the module which focuses on kicking civilians in the face while they are on the ground. Kelowna RCMP superintendent Bill McKinnon has said "we've all seen the footage, and I think the question is, was the officer involved properly trained in the skill of apply pressure to the face, and frontal lobe area safely?" He went on to say "we are going to review and thoroughly audit chapter 3 of the RCMP Guide to Better Policing which specifically outlines safe manners in which a mountie can kick a person in the head while they are on the ground."

As an added precaution, mounties across the province will also each be issued with A Dummies Guide to Subtle Police Brutality. The text will help mounties understand basics, like looking around for a camera before committing serious assault on citizens, destroying evidence after the fact and ways to inflict abuse without any letting any signs of physical harm become visible. "Clearly, this mountie ignored all the basics in this engagement" McKinnon concluded.
