The actions of a police officer in Truro are being questioned after a video emerged online that ends with a young man unconscious after an interaction with the officer, but police say there's much more to the story.
Widely shared on social media, the 40-second video appears to show an interaction between a student at the Cobequid Education Centre (https://cec.ccrce.ca/).
"Calm down!", a female voice is heard yelling in the recording as the officer grapples with the teen.
"You're making it worse!"
After throwing the student to the ground, the officer appears to hold him there as the female urges the officer to let go.
"You can get off him," she says.
When the officer does, the student appears to be unconscious.
