haha it's funny how you think. You ran as soon as the cop saw you, tried to SHUT a door in his face, and then want to say he got rough with you because of your ethnicity. People (non white) have been shot by cops for much less in canada and the USA.

Holy crap, a $4 fee on an ATM? And I thought the $1.25 fees on normal ATMs sucked.

How about 8 euro fee? Which I had abroad.

To scare you a little bit more, those independent ATMs can actually have their fees set to be a percentage of what you withdraw. I haven't actually seen one first hand but I know they're out there.

Also he didn't "beat you up" , as soon as he had you in control he stoped from what i read, i see nothing shocking.

And you definately weren't in your right when you shut the door on him, and you're "not even sure" he didn't tell you to stop.

While you (your sheer studidity aside) are perfectly in your right to start running i very much doubt keeping running when asked to stop by the police and smashing the door on him was ok.
YOU should do the right thing, tell him you're some stupid adrenaline and attention whore and decided that pissing off people who are doing their work , apparently late at night when they'd rather be sleeping in bed, was ok in exchange for the fun you'd get.

Overall i feel like you're an asshole.

Well, in my experience: no. The we was 8 euros if I withdrew 400, and 8 when I withdrew 5. (and I wasn't aware of that in the first months.)

I cant say Im too surprised that I see pretty much the response's I expected to see

I'd press charges if him punching you/tackling you caused any significant injuries to cover medical expenses. Otherwise I'd file a complaint, which won't do anything significant, but it's a dick move and he at least deserves to get yelled at by his boss.

Imo the punch crosses the line to being unacceptable. Tackling you like others have said is reasonable. I don't see why he had to punch you in the face though. Not really necessary at all.

Not positive on laws in Canada, but not every state in the Us has the same stop and identify laws, so those might be looking into where you are.

No, he doesn't. He saw suspicious behavior and reacted to it. Just because some dick (the OP) wasn't actually committing a crime doesn't excuse the dick's behavior. He got punched. Once. He didn't get beaten with a billy club, he didn't break any bones, he got tackled and punched. All of which I would accept as being acceptable behavior from the cop in an effort to subdue a suspect. Hell, in the US he would have been tackled, punched, and then tazed. He would have then been read his Miranda rights, cuffed and hauled down to the holding cell, and held for up to 48 hours while they ran his prints. Regardless of if the cop found anything suspicious on him after arresting him.

Frankly the OP did something stupid and got what he deserved. The cop apologized to him afterwards, and he should be grateful for that. Filing a complaint for a non-issue will just piss the police off, and that'll just make your life that much worse (how would you like to be pulled over every time a cop sees you going over the speed limit by even 5 miles?). If the cop had given him a BEATING (which he deserves, but not from the cop) then sure, I would suggest filing a complaint, but he didn't.

Your own fault for being rather stupid (thought I can understand this a bit) and I don't think you'll get anywhere with it (nor do I think you deserve to) so best not waste both your time (and possibly money) and theirs for what was ultimately you doing something fairly stupid. Yes the cop was no doubt just covering his ass as you say.
