The police explanation



On October 30, the police for the sensation of greater Vancouver "community relations event" the official explanation.

New West sensitive police station heavy case group agent Sheriff Scott (Jeff Scott) and RCMP Coquitlam police team officers meierdishi (Rachael Meredith) said, day RCMP Coquitlam police team received reported, said Best Western Hotel within venue "situation runaway", and "may occurred gang melee", so emergency out, two name elderly Department for "refused to obey police instruction left site" and was forced drive away from.

Recently big temperature area gang activities exception, two week Qian, "hell Angel" help important characters green (Bob Green) was found in blue in rural died Yu shot, soon Hou another one gang characters Clary (Shaun Alan Clary,) was found in blue in died, also, this took than recently occurred was driving rushed into bedroom of event, 28th has two people died Yu pigment in Street, these are suspected has gang background. British Columbia police integrated homicide investigation team, Sergeant foster (Meghan Foster) acknowledged that low Lu Pingyuan-related incident occurred in succession in the near future, high tension in the RCMP and provincial police, and head to take a number of sweep operations.

Port Coquitlam storm in the Best Western Hotel, probably in this context, police officers of high tension and the parties "deformation". But the two old men of his age, it's hard to believe it will pose a serious threat to law enforcement by the police, and both have to be fluent in English, there should not be barriers of communication.

Coquitlam RCMP Wanda Meloni, head of the police force (Sean Maloney) acknowledged that the incident could affect the police force and the trust of the community, partnerships, and "understand the public's focus on the video."



"Who is the gang"



Li Min Su and his wife obviously cannot accept that explanation, however.

Police interpretation of Li Min Su said "(police officers forcibly dragged him and his wife) are not police, they are the gang", "they should be punished."

A day earlier, police has announced that it will launch "independent investigation", it is understood that New Westminster police station will be entrusted with leading the inquiry to avoid arousing suspicion, Deputy Sheriff Scott said the investigation team had been formed, and on November 29, and Li Min Su and his wife were approached for the first time, in order to facilitate communication, deliberately arranged for a Korean police investigation team.

Investigation team, said they wanted to "methodically investigate, treat everyone fairly and objectively as possible."

RCMP civilian review and complaints Commission has begun investigating the Committee Senior Director, Evans said, and their investigation will focus on the assessment of party officers in compliance with the norms of police law enforcement, but they have no right to propose disciplinary or criminal accountability.



There will be a next time?



Suspected of excessive use of force by the police of public events, in recent years in Canada occurred.

October 2006, Poland ethnic new immigration Robert Dziekanski (Robert Dziekanski) login first day for language not pass, in Vancouver International Airport and more name RCMP occurred misunderstanding, was which with shock gun killed, incident Hou officers this special Lee (Bill Bentley) suspected collude in, and perjury, said Robert Dziekanski "armed resisting arrest", but site passengers video confirmed, Robert Dziekanski does not arrested, and so-called "armed" just a only in customs counter readily took up of stapler.

In 2009, downtown Vancouver, two female police track car thieves on the way, shot a full no harm, only questioned to appear innocent and fled carrying knife to his 50 workers killed.

In January 2010, two Eastern Wu Yaowei ethnic Chinese residents in Vancouver, Vancouver police officers mistakenly mistook a domestic violence suspect, broke into the house arrest, assault, which resulted in his left eye was injured.

On January 19, 2012, Vancouver, 51 years old India-born man Singh (Manjit Singh) in the trash were mistaken for bank robbers without any explanation by the police when resisting arrest and injured by an offender.

July 2013, only 18 age, and weight but 110 pounds, hands only a put three inch long fruit knife of Syria new immigration Yatim (Sammy Yatim) in Toronto a car tram Shang was senior police fuxiluo (James Forcillo) even open 9 gun shot killed, at are every in broad daylight, onlookers who pointed out that, Yatim does not as police initially said "resisting arrest", but "has been sat with didn't moving".

Concern is that many cases victims were ethnic minorities, which in many cases associated with minority language and communication ability, but ethnicity itself is difficult to be indifferent.

Li Min Su said "expect to see police parties losing their jobs", but from past cases, it would be difficult.

Despite police for avoid bias, General will take offsite survey of approach, but survey cycle long, and punishment partial light of status is common: Robert Dziekanski case continued years, several parties police only by disciplinary, suspected perjury of this special Lee was sentenced innocence; Wu Yaowei event despite alerted Shi any Vancouver Police Secretary Zhu Xiaosun came apologized, but involved two name police is was ruled "not too using force"...... Yatim police fuxiluo the evidence of the parties in the case on July 28 this year was convicted of second-degree murder convict, sentenced to 6 years, but this case initially, police will only be fuxiluo suspended, or even pay a salary, but without pay only after the scandal, triggered public anger.

For this incident, the police investigating team said "processes depend on the how many witnesses and video surveillance evidence," "requires time and patience," and such a stance has repeatedly appeared in the investigation phase of the case begins, but the story is not far away, people can believe such a statement?

Although "not a separate independent investigation", the public has expressed dissatisfaction with year after year, but the case investigation team has insisted on sticking to "police officers investigating police officers" routine, so that the police "aloft, and gently falling" let a scene will be repeated this time--well, there will be a next time?
