Viral takedown video prompts probe into Vancouver police conduct

British Columbia’s police watchdog is ordering an official investigation into the conduct of multiple Vancouver Police Department officers, a day after video emerged and was posted on social media of a violent takedown in the city’s Downtown Eastside.

The deputy commissioner for the Officer of the Police Complaint Commissioner, Andrea Spindler, confirmed in an email to CTV News Vancouver Wednesday afternoon that a probe would be launched into officers' use of force, adding that the VPD has a duty to immediately alert the OPCC whenever someone is injured by police and requires medical treatment in hospital.
