Security camera footage has now been released by Indigenous leaders in the case of an Indigenous man and his 12-year-old granddaughter being handcuffed outside a Vancouver bank in December 2019.
The footage shows Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter being led outside the Bank of Montreal branch on Burrard Street by Vancouver police officers before both of them were handcuffed and separated from each other.
Last November, a human rights complaint was filed against the Vancouver Police Department and Bank of Montreal.
