Sounds like a very unfortunate incident.
1) You can contact police via their non-emergency line and ask for the number for 'Professional Standards'. Official complaints must be done in writing (but they will relay all the info to you).
2) Reality. I am willing to bet, the TRUTH of what happened lies somewhere in between. Personally, I am of the view that you assume some sort of risk when you go down to bars. Like it or not, that is REALITY. There is simply too much happening down there for police to follow through, immediately, with every assault, unwanted guest, drunk, crackhead, pimp, etc, etc (although see below #3). It's simply impossible. Don't like it? Call your MLA.
3) 10000 person pub crawl last night. Unfortunately, thats far, far too many people to conduct a thorough investigation. That said, she should have been offered some advise on how to pursue things when she sobered up/got home (and im willing to bet she was).
4) Pepper Spray/Tasers are prohibited weapons. Use them at your own peril.
5) Someone mentioned laying an 'information'. Pretty tough to do w/o a suspect.
6) The bar pay duty program was suspended.
