Cop Beating .... Video shows disputed confrontation between Yukon officer and suspect

The acquittal of Harry Kevin Kolasch will be appealed in Yukon Supreme Court in April. Const. Chris Barr had been called in Dec. 2016 to deal with Kolasch, who allegedly threw a cheeseburger at an employee at a McDonald's restaurant in Whitehorse and attempted to kick the restaurant manager.
Barr found Kolasch outside the nearby Superstore and arrested him.

During the arrest, Barr knocked Kolasch unconscious with one punch. He said the accused had reached for his gun.

Surveillance video showed that, according to Barr's testimony, during a 40-second confrontation he approached Kolasch, called to him several times, grabbed him, pinned him to the hood of a car and then took him to ground - during which there was no sign of Kolasch being violent or resisting.
