The authorities are doing a proper investigation. That is good.
Remember, this hasn't been in court and there is no conviction.
Its not like there has ever been false accusations against police.

WINNIPEG – A young aboriginal man has apologized for falsely accusing two police officers of taking him on a so-called starlight tour.
Winnipeg police and native leaders hope the apology will help improve the sometimes-bitter relationship between officers on the beat and aboriginal residents in the inner city.
“I’m sorry for jeopardizing the reputation of the Winnipeg Police Service. I want to say sorry to the police officers for putting them in that situation,” Evan Maud, 22, said Thursday in his apology.
The public show of remorse was part of a restorative justice program that allowed Maud to avoid trial on a public mischief charge.
“I’m also deeply sorry to their families, friends and colleagues for causing them to doubt, mistrust and question the two police officers.”
On Dec. 3, 2010, Maud claimed that he had been walking down a street when he was stopped by two officers in a patrol car who accused him of being drunk. He said the officers drove him outside city limits, took his coat and left him alone in freezing weather.
