Sad. Our Charter of Rights...who follows it?
Two plainclothes officers handcuffed a Black man at a Montreal shopping district Thursday while they investigated him for car theft, but once they determined he was in fact the car's owner, they couldn't release him because they had no keys for the cuffs.
Local patrolling officers were called to a parking lot at Marché Central to free the man and now a video of the incident is circulating online.
The six-minute video appears to show the officers trying to calm the unidentified man, who is upset over being handcuffed despite his innocence.
The video does not show what led up to the detainment. The man tells officers it is his car; incensed, he asks the police if a white man would have been treated the same way.
