Video of RCMP officer standing on man’s chest prompts police watchdog probe (www.ctvnews.ca)

The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) confirmed it has launched an investigation into the arrest that happened Jan. 31 in Mosakahiken Cree Nation.

A portion of that arrest was captured on video and has since been shared on social media. It shows an officer standing on a man’s chest. The man, whose hands appear to be restrained behind his back, is heard yelling about his heart.

In a release, RCMP said they are aware of the video but said it shows a “small portion” of the arrest, and confirmed the IIU had been notified.

HellsBelle isn't even trolling here.
The RCMP does exist in Québec, but the vast majority of enforcement is done by the SQ.
Here, an arrest like the one in the OP would most likely be done by the SQ and not by the RCMP.

"Vast majority" and "Most likely" supports my point, so thank you for the assist in demonstrating that 100% of provincial policing is not done by the SQ.

Please show me where I said that the RCMP doesn't exist in Quebec.

If you can't, and just read what you thought was there, it would be a good time to stop arguing.

Okay.

My question, posed to someone who isn't you by the way:

The RCMP aren’t a problem in Quebec?

Your response:

Nope, because Quebec has its own provincial police force – the Sûreté du Québec –just like Ontario has the OPP instead of the RCMP

Since I can easily show you exactly where you said it, it would be a good time to stop arguing eh?

Please show me the stats that proved the RCMP have the same problems (ie: in-custody murders, use of excessive force, etc) in Quebec as they do in the rest of Canada (except ON ofc).

I literally gave you a link directly to the RCMP.

Use that to find what you are looking for, and jog on in the meantime.
