Canadian prosecutors drop charges against a First Nations chief who was tackled and punched by police during an incident over an expired licence plate, his lawyer says.

Photos show Chief Adam was left bloodied, with his face swollen.

"I'm overwhelmed that the charges have been withdrawn," Chief Adam said at a news conference, where he called for Canadian policing reforms."It was just for an expired licence plate. I don't know the reason why it had to escalate."

New rule - either you show ALL people everytime there is a suspect arrested or NONE AT ALL. Media decide now!

Wait. He left his vehicle and assumed a fighting stance - against the police directive - then was subdued, but has his charges dropped? Why?

Dont be a dick

Is it ok to disobey a lawful direction by a Police Officer now ?

That is shocking

Wow, he refused a number of police requests to stay in his vehicle and when he did get out it he took a fighting stance. 🤔 Well done sir, as a white person I could never get out of those charges.

ABC 'neglect to mention' black moves first in checkers amid race debate | Sky News AustraliaFormer Australian chess representative John Adams says the ABC is engaging in a complete waste of taxpayer money by spruiking the racial debate over the fact white pieces move first in the game of chess. \n\nMr Adams said he was contacted by the national broadcaster to comment on the racial debate concerning which colour moves first in the historic game.\n\n'I've seen this argument,' he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nHe said the ABC didn't talk about how black pieces move first in checkers instead it targets chess because the national broadcaster 'has a political agenda'. \n\n'A lot of chess players have been pretty stunned that the ABC would go here'. \n\nHe said the fact white moves first 'has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with politics'. \n\n'It's just a convention'. \n\n\n In hindsight it would have made sense for the player going first to pick his color. And I believe it used to be white and red before becoming black. It's too ingrained in the game now though that white moves first, and the amount of stuff written on openings would become invalid. shanesheoran Pool should be next. Or what about lawn bowls.

Liberal MPs back proposal for first-home buyers to access superannuationLiberal MPs across the country are backing changes to allow workers to tap into their superannuation balances to buy a first home. What happens to house prices when purchasers get access to more money? Don't understand the LNP obsession with eroding people's retirement funds. 'But they will have an asset' is pure bollocks. A lot can go wrong, relationships end. Get rid of negative gearing instead, make houses cheaper. All those billions, sitting in all those superannuation funds must be burning a hole in LNP pockets. They can’t help looking for ways to spend other people’s money to prop up the economy Heaven help anyone who suggests Infrastructure or reducing reliance on fossil fuels
