A cyclist has died after a police car struck him and backed-up over him say witnesses - before an officer exited the vehicle and placed him under arrest while he was 'spitting blood'. According to those who saw the incident on Wednesday afternoon in Quebec City, Guy Blouin, 48, was intercepted by the police cruiser going the wrong way up a one way street. The car allegedly hit Blouin, knocking him under the car and Quebec City police department issued a statement on Thursday morning to say they are fully cooperating with the investigation.'They ran over the guy, the guy ended up under the car. For an entire 15 seconds; he was under the tire in a fetal position,' Alexandre Beaulieu told CBC News. Beaulieu told reporters that after the initial collision he saw an officer exit his car, see Blouin was under the wheels, get back into the car and roll over the 48-year-old a second time.Another witness confirmed this. This witness, who said his name was Daniel, also claimed he heard police arrest the man on the floor, while 'he was spitting blood'.A third witness claims he saw police pick up Blouin and put him in the ambulance without letting paramedics place him on a stretcher. According to the paramedics official account, Blouin conditions worsened on the journey to hospital where he later died. Internal affairs at Quebec City police have said they are to interview witnesses and the officers involved. It was also claimed the officers picked up the bike from the scene after the incident and place it in their trunk, only to place it back at the scene at a later time.

Wouldn’t want him to live to sue.
But the important part: did the officer get home safely?
Well obviously he was asking for it by being in the way.

I am just glad that the cyclist wasn’t shot. Obviously there are kindler, gentler police North of the Border...
Dispatcher: Keep calm. First you have to make sure that he's dead.
Officer: [wump, wump] Yeah, he's dead.
Canada needs car control!
Double checked his work!
Give him good marks for excellence and initiative
It sounds like capital murder to me.
LOL!
Stupid but, hilarious!
This reads like one of those “internet essay” bullshit pieces.
Was the guy a lawyer?
Lawyer? Nah. Hockey Player. But not great. Any Québecois named Blouin should be able to take a couple hits off a cop car and then foul the cop.
Perhaps more importantly, was the cop able to kill a dog too?
Cop: Hey, did I just hit a guy on a bike?
Passenger cop: I dunno, let’s back up and take a look.
Capital murder? In CANADA? Worst that’s going to happen to these police pukes that their favorite CFL teams will get a five-yard penalty.
Hey! Post-Ferguson, we're all badge lickers again!
Oh, wait. It's Quebec City. Probably not a "thug". So, maybe it's OK to question this. Did he ever steal cigars?
Good thing he didn't have his dog with him.
