Second video released in Pelican Narrows incident

Mar 6, 2018 | 11:00 AM

The Saskatchewan RCMP has placed an officer on administrative duties, pending an investigation into a viral Facebook video which depicts part of an incident in Pelican Narrows.

In the video, which as of this morning had 98,000 views on Facebook, an officer asks a woman if she wants to get shot, tells her to “F**k off,” and later pushes a woman to retrieve a hockey stick she swung at a police vehicle. At the time the original story was published, police did not offer comment on the events which led up to the incident. However, a second video has emerged on Facebook showing the two Pelican Narrows officers arresting a man and struggling to place him in the backseat of the cruiser shortly before the altercation with the women.

The video was posted Monday evening:
