A Canadian police officer has been found guilty of assault causing bodily harm after slamming a handcuffed black woman against a cement floor in a “judo-style” throw. Video footage of the assault, shared widely on social media, was seen as emblematic of systemic racism in Canada’s policing.
Constable Alex Dunn was convicted by a Calgary judge on Thursday for the incident in which he threw Dalia Kafi to the floor of a police station on 13 December 2017.

Kafi, now 29, was at the station for processing after breaching a court-ordered curfew. When she resisted Dunn’s attempts to remove her scarf, Dunn threw her to the ground. CCTV footage shows Kafi’s head bouncing off the cement floor.


Dunn’s lawyer described the assault as a “dynamic takedown”, but during the trial, one police officer called Dunn’s actions one of the “worst use of force” he had ever seen.
According to her lawyers, Kafi suffered a broken nose and needed stitches in her lip following the assault.
Michelle Christopher, Alberta provincial court judge, rejected Dunn’s defence that Kafi had slipped from her handcuffs, calling his evidence at trial “evasive and self-serving”.
Kafi told CBC News she was happy about the verdict and that it was important that “no other female can go through what I’ve been through”.
“I’m somebody’s daughter and I’m also a human being,” she said.
Footage of the assault went viral on social media when the video was made public in October. One popular Twitter account shared the visceral clip, tweeting “tell me how you reform this”. The video racked up 13m views and the incident was seen by many as emblematic of the violence in policing that disproportionately impacts minority groups in Canada and the United States.

The verdict marks the second high-profile assault conviction against a Canadian police officer. Last month, a Toronto police officer was sentenced to nine months for his role in the beating of Dafonte Miller, a black teen who lost his eye in the assault.
Dunn’s lawyer Cory Wilson said his client likely plans to appeal the verdict, telling reporters he and Dunn had “significant concerns” over how the judge determined the facts of the case.
Calgary police promised an internal investigation that could result in Dunn’s dismissal. “The criminal trial is not the only step in the accountability process for this incident,” the police said in a statement.
Dunn will be sentenced 17 December.

Yes. Women are leaving the US in hordes over to the Islamic paradise of the ME.

Can you people even identify what is women?

Yes. Women are leaving the US in hordes over to the Islamic paradise of the ME.

Yes actually.... Most of Muslim lands yes women have more safety and rights. You are confusing Afghanistan with Muslim lands... That's like assuming 1% represents the 99%. Too much CNN/FOX News for you isn't good for your mental health.

How about Iran? That little piece of cloth ain't doing too well.

What about it?.... Just because of a 2 month protest.... There are countless others in support. Besides Iran and Afghanistan are two countries out of hundreds of Muslim nations.

Pakistan women have a %50 literacy rate, is that a good thing for women in Pakistan?

Actually it's a village think. Pakistani university have overwhelmingly women representation... Your CNN/Fox news information hasn't served you well.

It's more cultural than religious. Think again.

The West can even figure out what a woman is?... And it wants to preach to us?...

Lol

Maybe it is YOU who should think again. What difference does it make if the cause of that high illiteracy rate came from culture or religion?

Pakistan - Literacy rate | Statista

The literacy rate measures the percentage of people aged 15 and above who are able to read and write.

Is that Fox News? Stop using Fox News as a distraction. These stats were gathered by international sources that have boots on ground.

So now we have Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia where the status of women is that of second class citizens. But for this thread...???

Culture. The first university in the world was established by a Muslim woman.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has improved to ture Islamic principles and not politics... Move on.

Yes... The countries you lost out of 4/100 is still 0.4% of Muslim nations.

 

[gambit]

You do know that is Canada, right?

Nevertheless, this sort of silliness will blow over once people's tolerance runs out. And faster than the status of women in Muslim countries can change.

Culture. The first university in the world was established by a Muslim woman.

Sure. She must be spinning in her grave at what Muslim women are facing now.
