Mantler's trial will begin on November 26, 2012.
A high profile assault case is about to begin in Kelowna, and it will be the second in as many years for the officer involved.
RCMP Cst. Geoff Mantler was suspended soon after video surfaced of him kicking a Kelowna man in the head following a 9/11 call almost two years ago.
Now that man, Buddy Tavares, and Mantler will have their day in court.
Mantler is facing one count of assault causing bodily harm and Tavares is alleged to have been using a shotgun to scare geese away from a golf course prior the assault.
The trial begins Nov. 26 and is expected to last two weeks.
Earlier this year, Mantler was acquitted of assaulting another Kelowna resident during an arrest in August 2010.

More importantly, I wonder how many pages this thread will reach, most of which will be utter, complete, and damaging nonsense/speculation/one liners/ideological RCMP bashing will be posted here, including posts that that to to deleted, edited and censored.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

I hope he serves some time in jail. If it were me who kicked a man in the face, I would already be there.
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition

you rang sweetheart? I don't need to comment on this particular case, the video shows enough to show my comments are accurate.

It's no wonder these trials take so many days when Supreme Court only sits for four hours a day.

really dude? the video shows more than enough.. The best thing for police supporters in this case would be to remain silent if they want to keep any credibility they might have.

Nah, I think I'll stick around on this one. I've never said that I didn't think that the kick seemed excessive.
But now you will all learn just what poor little innocent Buddy was actually up to that day....
