Soooooo who was committing the fraud? Or was there a fraud at all? I would like those questions answered.
Allen Huang sounds like the bank thought so, called it in and after the police arrived the bank decided it wasn’t a fraud
it was literally a grandfather trying to open a bank account for his grand daughter so he could send her money while she leaves for basketball tournaments. they had all ID and birth certificates needed to make the account. it was when the bank worker saw that the man had over 30k in his account he assumed it was a fraud in progress.
let's be pragmatic, the police receives hundreds of these type of calls. This one happens to be legit, there wasn't any fraud. They (the police) went in based on the info they got from the 911 call.
BMO is 100% responsible and they will be sued... they deserved to be. The employee/s involved will be fired, they deserved to be. Seems BMO needs to do a better job in training their employees.
Maybe they were racially profiled. I feel extremely bad for the 12 year old girl and her granddad.
no fraud. just racist white people and corporation.
@@robertmacnaughton4190 Sir, in my rebuttal may i approach the bench?
IF they where not FN would this be news???
I knew a 20 something woman that when I first met her looked 12, police are gonna secure everyone for safety then figure it out. Wanna give someone heck out of this yell at the bank.
Feral and your experience in law enforcement is.....
Feral uh I understand, no experience talking out your ass, thanks for your feedback
@@feral4506 you couldn't be a cop
If anyone suppose to be in trouble, it would have to be that bank teller that reported this “fraudulent”. I don’t think the police officers should be punished by the public like the way they did. Believe me, I’m no fan of them either. But if they didn’t do anything wrong, I’ll stick up for them. They were just doing their job with the information they had at that moment.
They handcuffed a 12 year old girl. Nuff said.
So was the bank teller.
So you're accepting they aren't smart enough to do an assessment of their own before acting.
So the manager who called 911 needs to get fired.
@@robertmoray988 the manager is to busy at work to spend time with a bunch of unemployed indians
Because she was wrong?
Not allowed to make mistakes.
How would the information of age of 12 be "mistaken" as 16. The bank employee had her status id that would have clearly shown birth date. Plus a birth certificate.
Not if the ID was fake...
Since when taking charge of a situation means putting people into handcuffs “very politely”? It almost seems like the officer is reading from a screen behind the camera.
Well explained - it's quite clear there were no racial motives. The police were operating professionally and safely handled the situation to verify the details of the situation. Sheesh some close-minded people are so quick to throw down the race card before looking at circumstances. Thank you VPD for your service to our communities.
I'm sorry but the world you percieved is not the world many minorities live in. Historically most non-white natives and immigrants have been treated harshly and even to date there is irrefutable disparities in terms of treatment and justice. I don't understand how you could not see both the optics of this and empathize for the victims.
Isaiah Smith I realize there is a race issue in this world, however this instance the police were not acting in a way that appears prejudice or because of race. They were following safe procedure to figure out what was going on at the scene. Unfortunately these days not many people like the police very much and wish to do them harm. Just recently 2 police officers in Honolulu Hawaii were ambushed and killed responding to a seemingly mild 911 call (as an extreme example of how it can go 0-100 almost instantly). The police’s operating procedure is very important for everyone’s safety and this case is no exception. I doubt if the two individuals were any other ethnicity they’d be treated any different.
@@isaiahsmith8523 stop virtue signalling
@@isaiahsmith8523 dude, shut up ok? you're nothing but a fat, ugly, brown professional VICTIM.
It could have been done without very publicly handcuffing and humiliating them…
The real question is, why didn't the officers ask questions before arresting people...so it's arresting then investigating later? How does that make sense?!! The officer is supposed to inquiry first for I'm sure the defendants were not quite
They weren’t arrested . They were detained. Still stupid as they were handcuffed in public and likely humiliated and traumatized for life.
When he said "the officers were diverse themselves" I knew it wasn't going to end well . It's like a racist saying, " I have Black friends (so I can't be racist)".
I have seen cops show up to bar fights and not handcuff anyone
... How is it justifiable to cuff an old man and his granddaughter? "Please have a seat over here sir while we sort things out."
You must have no idea how traumatizing being arrested is when you've done nothing wrong. You can imagine they pleaded with the cops before they were cuffed and yet they were still cuffed. This country has a appalling history with its treatment of first nations... residential schools didn't close until the 90's. The 60's scoop.... the RCMP and law enforcement have a history of abusing minorities as does the government. Chinese head tax.... Indian Act... etc.... It's not all in the heads of the victims.
Well addressed. I cherish our Police Officers who try to do their very best in a extremely more complexed world. All the best to you.

maybe you should lose some weight isaiah
Una vez 100%
Good job VPD, horrible job BMO manager👎
Was the bank person charged with giving fraudulent information? Who was it? Post a picture of them…they need to be named and shamed!
Sorry, not sorry.
Chief, if you are overwhelmed, and the job is very difficult with 800 calls every day; all you have to do is quit. It’s that simple... I don’t understand why government employees get away with excuses that wouldn’t be valid in any private sector in the world.
They are too busy to do a good job. I bet he made is softball game on time
No excuse!!! How dare you handcuff a man and his granddaughter without asking a few questions first. If you are in charge, you should lose your job. Why would you do this before talking to the erroneous caller. I am not disappointed with the officers, I am disappointed in you as a leader and Bank of Montreal.
I don't context with you having a 12 year old in handcuff. There is no reason for your poor leadership.
Hi Adam how r you and your family
It's called unlawful detainment and I hope they sue the VPD and BMO. Oh you're gonna pay.
thats what Indians do now. Too lazy for work. They have a cottage industry protesting and suing white people
@@crackernumber2 oh I get it. You racist.
So the Bank does not even understand financial fraud.
If, you see this, your better, too contact me, legally speakin, ..
It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous
did you have to look those words up??
First off a person cannot be "taken into custody" based on hearsay, even if that hearsay is from a "competent individual". Adam Palmer needs to understand what the words "substantial" and "probable" mean, and then teach the rest of his cops their meaning also.
Secondly, "standard police procedures" need to be altered. The best course of action is to allow the parties to converse and then discern the veracity of each individual.
Thirdly, those bank employees should have been put into handcuffs for putting in a false alarm and giving false information to dispatch.
You're not a lawyer so shut up
Grandpa is using his granddaughter too fish for a lawsuit
Well Joe, I would say he caught one. Meanwhile, you're darn tutin' I'm not a lawyer- because I don't want to live a life of crime.
you should stop the person who called I don't buy this you don't put handcuffs on a child
The bank failed..in turn the police failed.
Well, I'll never deal with BMO based on this guy and what he's saying. BMO should be ashamed of all of this and the person who originally called it in should be fired. This idiot is just trying to throw things back at the media to try and put the VPD in a positive light. I like how he's wearing his medals here too...
P.O.L.I.C.E.= People Of Limited Intelligence Criminalizing Everyone.
How dobyou confuse a 16 year old south asian female with a 12 year old native girl. BMO should be ashamed and retrain their staff. I'd like to know what the "fraud" was thought to be.
uhm 12 year olds can have weapons and if it was a fraud they both might have been armed and therefore needed to be detained, i e cuffed until everything was figured out. people are just over reacting bcz it was a 12 yr old? i know its canada but still you can't think age has anything to do with ability to be a killer!
Good thing this didn't happen in America. Where they tend to shoot first. Hopefully they sue the hell out of BMO.
never heard of south asians ... does that mean there are southern and northern Caucasians as well .... see how that sounds now .... racial profiling
wade brittain Actually, there are. And there always have been. That’s why Norwegians don’t look like Greeks.
Ya right ... always record your police action. Lies to cover lies
Your doing it agian; " South Asian".. ?? you just prooved, racial discrimination...
What's discriminatory about
a physical description of people?
Lately, everyone's a victim, huh?
