Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Evenson Dumerlus faces criminal charges for posting threatening videos against President Trump on social media. The 34-year-old officer posted threatening remarks about the former US president on Snapchat last year while on security duty for the G7 summit in Alberta.<\/p>\n
A special investigation team took over the case after receiving a report from another RCMP officer, and Dumelus was relieved of his duties on the same day. The RCMP issued a statement on Wednesday emphasizing that any threatening behaviour that undermines public safety will be dealt with seriously, that there will be no tolerance for violent speech, and that perpetrators may be prosecuted and face severe penalties, including long prison sentences.<\/p>\n
Police also urged the public to report such incidents promptly to effectively curb such crimes. Dumelus is scheduled to appear in court in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu on July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
