The investigation was taken over by the Special Investigations Unit after an  RCMP officer reported the video. Dumerlus was removed from his duties on the same day as the incident.

“The RCMP takes seriously any threats that can affect one’s sense of security,” the federal police force said in a news release issued Wednesday.

“Violent statements will not be tolerated. Perpetrators may face criminal charges involving significant sentences. Such incidents must be reported if we are to combat this type of crime.”
