Niyondagara, who is Black, said he was shocked with a stun gun, pinned down, struck in the face and handcuffed before police realized their mistake.
…
After some discussion about the name [of an alleged murderer], the police officer left the cruiser and soon returned to explain “that there was a misunderstanding,” Niyondagara said.
The cops then drove Niyondagara home.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Niyondagara, who is Black, said he was shocked with a stun gun, pinned down, struck in the face and handcuffed before police realized their mistake.
Niyondagara said police would later ask if he knew anyone called “Gibriil” — a stranger whose name matches a wanted murder suspect who is also Black.
Paramedics conducted a physical examination and recorded that Niyondagara had a “minor puncture wound” consistent with an “electronic probe device.”
OPS added that the call for service was reviewed by the chain of command and said the force will reach out to the person involved “to discuss the police response and any concerns.”
According to Leanna Rizzi, a communications manager with Starbucks Coffee Canada, police had visited their Innes Road location on Feb. 13, three days before Niyondagara was arrested, as part of an investigation.
Police did not answer a question posed by email about how long Niyondagara was handcuffed after they learned his identity, nor does the ambulance call report address the issue.
