By  Cedric Gallant Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Quebec’s police watchdog has launched an investigation of a Salluit arrest that recently went viral on social media. The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes announced the investigation Wednesday in a news release. A video surfaced online July 18 showing Nunavik Police Service officers driving their vehicle in front of a moving car, while braking to slow it down. But the other vehicle ultimately crashed into a house. Another video appears to show officers pulling a woman from that vehicle and dropping her to the ground. The officers were responding to call about a 24-year-old woman suspected of driving while impaired, said Nunavik Police Service deputy Chief Shaun Longstreet. The woman was seen driving erratically, he added. “Officers responded immediately to the call,” Longstreet said
