Ajax, just outside Toronto. The police initially pressed charges and lied about what happened. They later dropped the charges and changed their story after the video surfaced. They still refuse to release the video cam footage, there must also be footage from the hospital (that will disappear I'm sure).
Here is what Americans need to know and understand about how East Germany Canada operates. This story is more about the circumstances around it than the potential racism and abuse of right. Those who recorded these videos were intimidated and some ordered to delete their videos off their phones. Think about that, Canadians are SO afraid of police, they did what they were told. Except for this one person.
Just as bad, the dirty nurse and the Rent-A-Cop security guard who work in the hospital screaming as bystanders are recording the 70 year olds being tackled and punched: A nurse and a security guard are heard warning the witness that filming is illegal because it "violates patient confidentiality."
Yes, indeed, this is a sick country. Don't become like us America. We are truly the East Germany and you are the West.

An elderly Black couple are alleging that Durham Regional Police and staff at an Ajax, Ont., hospital assaulted and abused them during a fall 2018 confrontation, and then tried to suppress video of the incident via threats of arrest and legal action.
Livingston Jeffers accompanied his wife, Pamelia, to the emergency room at Lakeridge Health Ajax Pickering Hospital on the evening of Oct. 30, 2018, because she was vomiting and suffering from insomnia.
But by the wee hours of the morning, both had been admitted to the hospital east of Toronto on mental health grounds, with a bloodied Livingston Jeffers also receiving treatment for cuts and abrasions after a struggle with two police officers that saw him receive a number of blows to the head.
"You see your grandfather arrested, in handcuffs, with trauma to the head, bruises, bleeding—unconscious with his head back on a chair," said Trequan Jeffers, the couple's 22-year-old grandson. "This needs to stop. It really needs to stop. My grandparents need justice. We need justice."
At a socially distanced news conference Monday, the couple's lawyers released two videos of the melee that occurred just outside the hospital entrance after staff, and then police, tried to stop the couple from leaving the facility.
One, shot on a cellphone by a witness, captures two police officers restraining and punching Jeffers, now 70, as he lay on the rain-soaked tarmac shouting "murder," while his 69-year-old wife cries and resists the attempts of staff to bring her back inside. A nurse and a security guard are heard warning the witness that filming is illegal because it "violates patient confidentiality."
