Bill Berry, a 52-year-old cancer survivor, who is deaf and mute, was left unable to breathe and collapsed on the floor after being carried out of the Red Deer court house Dec. 9 by a sheriff.
Berry, who uses a neck tube to breathe, was trying to pay a traffic ticket when the sheriff, identified as Thomas Bounds, told him he didn’t go through proper security screening when he entered through an open door.

Berry tried to communicate to the sheriff, at which point the sheriff picked him up in a bear hug and carried him to the door.

An investigation by the Solicitor General Office’s Law Enforcement and Oversight Professional Standards Unit found the sheriff, identified as Bounds, used unjustified and excessive force that led directly to Berry’s neck tube being dislodged.

But further review of the incident by chief Crown prosecutor Robert Coleman has determined Bounds will not face criminal charges

I'm not sure how charges were not laid in this case. Seems like a text book case of at least assault.
