Abbass said he did not file a complaint right away because he did not understand the circumstances of his arrest until a public inquiry into Dunphy's death revealed that Buckle and another officer texted about Abbass's arrest and referred to him as a "loser."

As always, ACAB.

Wasting resources once again. Reduce the rcmp bloat.

I couldn't find the tweet in the article, but found it in this one from last year: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/andrew-abbass-rnc-complaints-1.6967702

Abbass tweeted: "How about this, premier of N.L.: I'm going to bring down Confederation and have politicians executed. Ready to have me shot, coward?"

The tweet, he admits, was meant to antagonize.

"I figured they would arrest me."

I mean, he seems like an unwell person who is tweeting death threats at a politician, so being detained and placed on a psych hold isn't completely out of the question.

The issue is that he wasn't charged with anything. If they charged him with uttering threats during this process, there likely wouldn't be an issue with how he was detained.
