A 16-year-old Native boy has filed a complaint against police officers in Winnipeg, Saskatchewan.
The boy said officers beat him during a routine traffic stop on Sunday night. "Both officers were kneeing me constantly. At one point, I believe one of the officers kneed me in the mouth three times consecutively," he said.
The boy was charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest. He is a juvenile and can't be identified by name under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
